This report presents a cost analysis of Isoprene production from acetylene and acetone. The process examined is similar to a Snamprogetti Acetylene-based process. In this process acetylene and acetone undergo an addition reaction forming the first intermediate, methylbutynol, this chemical is then subjected to a selective hydrogenation forming the second intermediate, methylbutenol. The last step of the reaction chain is the dehydration of methylbutenol forming Isoprene and water. This report was developed based essentially on the following reference(s): Keywords: Snamprogetti, Acetylene-based process, 2-methyl-1,3-butadiene

This report presents a cost analysis of polymer grade (PG) Ethylene production from isobutane feedstock using a typical steam cracking process. In this process, isobutane is thermally cracked in pyrolysis furnaces through the use of steam. In addition to Ethylene, the process also generates polymer grade propylene, butadiene , raffinate-1 and pygas as by-products. This report was developed based essentially on the following reference(s): "Ethylene", Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry, 7th edition Keywords: Ethene, Propene, Pyrolysis Gasoline, Hydrocarbon Pyrolysis, Cracking Furnace, Lummus, KBR, Technip, Linde, S&W

This report presents a cost analysis of Polycarbonate (PC) production from bisphenol A (BPA), phenol and phosgene. The process examined is a typical melt process. In this process, the Polycarbonate plant is integrated with a plant for diphenyl carbonate (DPC) production from phenol and phosgene. The process is based on the transesterification reaction of BPA with diphenyl carbonate to produce Polycarbonate. This report was developed based essentially on the following reference(s): Keywords: Thermoplastic Polymer, Polycondensation, SABIC, Mitsubishi, Asahi

This report presents a cost analysis of second generation Ethanol production from wood chips via a thermochemical process. The process examined is similar to the one reported by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL). In this process, biomass is subjected to gasification generating syngas, which is then converted to hydrous Ethanol. The process employs concepts similar to those proposed in patents issued to Range Fuels. Mixed alcohols are generated as by-products. This report was developed based essentially on the following reference(s): Phillips, S., et al., "Thermochemical Ethanol via Indirect Gasification and Mixed Alcohol Synthesis of Lignocellulosic Biomass, " Report NREL/TP-510-41168, National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), 2007 Keywords: Ethyl Alcohol, Bioethanol, Lignocellulosic Biomass, 2nd Generation, Cellulosic Sugar, Hemicelluloses, Cellulose

This report presents a cost analysis of Epichlorohydrin production from crude glycerol and sodium chloride. The process under analysis involves the following steps: an aqueous solution of sodium chloride (brine) is decomposed electrolytically in a membrane cell, producing chlorine, caustic soda and hydrogen; hydrogen and chlorine react forming hydrogen chloride (HCl); hydrochlorination of glycerol to dichlorohydrins (DCH); and alkaline dehydrochlorination of DCH to Epichlorohydrin. This report was developed based essentially on the following reference(s): Keywords: chlor-alkali, hydrochlorination, dichlorohydrins, DCH, dichloropropanol, DCP, alkaline dehydrochlorination, CONSER, Dow, Solvay, KVT

This report presents a cost analysis of Sodium Cyanide production from ammonia, natural gas and caustic soda. In this process, hydrogen cyanide is initially produced via a direct synthesis method involving the reaction of ammonia, methane (natural gas), and air. Subsequently, the hydrogen cyanide and sodium hydroxide solution (50 wt%) react and water is evaporated. Solid Sodium Cyanide is obtained as the final product. This report was developed based essentially on the following reference(s): Keywords: Solid NaCN Solution, Neutralization, Wet Process, Prussic Acid
