    摘要: A process for the production of an ethylenically unsaturated nitrile from a hydrocarbon feed stream comprised of a mixture of an alkene and an alkane by reaction with an oxygen-containing gas and ammonia. The alkene is converted to unsaturated nitrile by reaction with the oxygen and ammonia in the presence of a suitable catalyst in a first ammoxidation reactor; the nitrile product is recovered from the product stream; some of the byproduct carbon oxides and some of the inert gas introduced into the system with the reactants are removed from product stream and the remainder of this stream, now rich in unreacted alkene and alkane, and containing the rest of the byproduct gases and inert gases is introduced with additional oxygen-containing gas and ammonia into a second ammoxidation reactor which contains a catalyst that catalyzes reaction between the alkane, oxygen and ammonia to produce additional unsaturated nitrile. The effluent from the second ammoxidation reactor is fully recycled to the first ammoxidation reactor or to the nitrile recovery unit or it is split into two streams, one of which is recycled to the first ammoxidation reactor and the other of which is recycled to the nitrile recovery unit.

    摘要: This invention provides a process for the production of an anhydride by the vapor phase reaction of a hydrocarbon with substantially pure oxygen in the presence of a suitable catalyst. In the improved process, the anhydride product is removed, carbon monoxide, present in the reactor effluent as a by-product, is oxidized to carbon dioxide and part of the gaseous effluent, comprised mainly of carbon dioxide and unreacted hydrocarbon, is recycled to the reactor. Removal of carbon monoxide from the recycle stream reduces the hazard of a fire or explosion in the reactor or associated equipment. The use of carbon dioxide as the principal diluent increases heat removal from the reactor, thereby increasing the production capacity of the reactor.

    摘要: An improved process is provided for the production of nitriles from hydrocarbons by reaction with an oxygen-containing gas comprising oxygen, air or a gas enriched in oxygen relative to air and ammonia in the presence of a suitable catalyst. In the process, a selective separator provides recycle of a substantial portion of the unreacted hydrocarbon as well as for a controlled amount of a gaseous flame suppressor in the system. The gaseous flame suppressor comprises a substantially unreactive hydrocarbon containing 1 to 5 carbon atoms, carbon dioxide and nitrogen when present in the feed to the ammoxidation reactor. The use of air or oxygen-enriched air in the feed to the ammoxidation reactor is particularly advantageous from an economic view in combination with a pressure swing adsorption unit as the selective separator. The process is characterized by high selectivity to the formation of the product.

    摘要: An improved process is provided for the production of nitriles and oxides from hydrocarbons by reaction with oxygen, air or a gas enriched in oxygen relative to air, preferably the latter, and ammonia where a nitrile is desired, in the presence of a suitable catalyst. An alkane, e.g. propane, is converted to an alkene in a catalytic dehydrogenator. The product stream is introduced into an ammoxidation reactor. The product formed therein is recovered in a conventional quench tower. The pressure of the gaseous effluent from the quench tower is raised and it is introduced into an absorber/stripper unit to form a recycle stream containing unreacted alkane and alkene as well as a minor amount of oxygen, typically 1-2 percent by volume, and a waste stream comprising the remainder of the quench tower gaseous phase. The recycle stream is introduced into a selective oxidation unit to remove the oxygen therefrom and then recycled to the dehydrogenator. Flammability of the quench tower gaseous effluent and the waste stream from the absorber/stripper is minimized by assuring that the nonflammability index (NFI) thereof is within certain limits. The desired NFI is related to the total hydrocarbon content of the stream and may be achieved, if required, by the addition thereto of a gaseous flame suppresor. The gaseous flame suppressor is removed with the absorber/stripper unit waste stream which may advantageously be combusted to provide energy for the process. A PSA unit may be utilized to remove excess hydrogen from the dehydrogenator effluent. The dehydrogenator may be a multistage dehydrogenator.

    摘要: An improved process is provided for the production of nitriles from hydrocarbons by reaction with oxygen, air or gas-enriched in relative to an air, and ammonia, in the presence of an ammoxidation catalyst. An alkane, e.g. propane, is converted to an alkene in a multistage dehydrogenator. The product stream is withdrawn from a reactor in the dehydrogenator other than the first and the last reactor and introduced into an ammoxidation reactor. The product is recovered in a conventional quench tower. The gaseous effluent from the quench tower is treated in a pressure swing adsorption unit to form a gas stream containing the unreacted alkane and alkene as well as a minor amount of oxygen. The gas stream, which may or may not contain hydrogen depending on the absorbent in the pressure swing adsorption unit, is introduced into the reactor in the dehydrogenator following that from which the product stream was withdrawn. The effluent from the last reactor in the dehydrogenator is introduced into: the first reactor; an intermediate reactor wherein the alkene concentration closely approximates the effluent or the ammoxidation reactor. The subject process is particularly efficient utilizing oxygen-enriched air in the reactor feed. A particularly preferred pressure swing adsorption system for use in the subject process comprises two parallel pressure swing adsorption units containing different adsorbents such that the gas stream formed in one contains all of the hydrogen in the gas phase from the quench tower. The feed to the pressure swing adsorption units is divided disproportionately so that the conbined pressure swing adsorption effluent recycle streams contain the optimum concentration of hydrogen for the dehydrogenator.
