This report presents a cost analysis of Propylene Oxide (PO) production from chemical grade (CG) propylene and cumene. The process examined is similar to Sumitomo process. In this process, cumene is oxidized to cumene hydroperoxide, which reacts with propylene to produce Propylene Oxide and dimethyl benzyl alcohol (DMBA). DMBA is reconverted to cumene, which is recycled to the process. This report was developed based essentially on the following reference(s): US Patent 20020151730, issued to Sumitomo in 2002 Keywords: Propene, Isopropylbenzene, Oxidation, Epoxidation, CHP

This report presents a cost analysis of Methionine Hydroxy Analog production from methional and hydrogen cyanide (HCN). The process examined is similar to a process developed by Novus. This process first involves the reaction between methional and hydrogen cyanide, producing the hydroxy methylthiobutyronitrile (HMBN) intermediate. The HMBN is further hydrolyzed to produce Methionine Hydroxy Analog. This report was developed based essentially on the following reference(s): (1) US Patent 6458997B2, issued to Novus International, Inc. in 2002 (2) US Patent 4524077, issued to Monsanto Company in 1985 (assigned to Novus International, Inc. in 1991) Keywords: MHA, HMTBA, HMBN, 3-Methylmercapto Propionaldehyde, MMP, Methional, Essential Amino Acid

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 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
