Butyraldehyde |
To produce n-butyraldehyde from propylene and syngas (carbon monoxide/hydrogen) using the Rh oxo process of Hoechst/Rhone-Poulenc. |
| 48 |
Cumene |
To produce cumene by reaction of benzene and propylene in the presence of solid phophoric acid catalyst. |
| 47 |
Chloroethylene |
To produce perchloroethylene and trichloroethylene from ethylene dichloride by an oxychlorination/oxyhydrochlorination process without byproduct hydrogen chloride. |
| 46 |
Caprolactam |
To produce caprolactam from cyclohexane and ammonia using a "photonitrozation" (PNC) process. |
| 45 |
Dimethyl formamide |
To produce dimethyl formamide from dimethylamine (DMA) and carbon monoxide (CO). |
| 44 |
Ketones |
To produce acetone and/or methyl ethyl ketones (MEK) by dehydrogenation of the corresponding anhydrous isopropyl alcohol or secondary butyl alcohol. |
| 43 |
Nitric acid |
To produce nitric acid (80-99% HNO3) from ammonia and air using the SABAR process. Does not require oxygen, refrigeration energy, dehydrating agents (sulfuric acid or magnesium nitrate). Nitric oxides in the tail gas can be reduced by absorption to below 200 ppm. Weak acid at any rate and concentration can be produced simultaneously |
| 42 |
Methanol |
To produce methanol from light hydrocarbon feedstocks using steam reforming followed by low-pressure synthesis. |
| 41 |
Maleic anhydride |
To produce maleic anhydride (MA) from normal butane and air via gas phase catalytic oxidation. |
| 40 |
Formic acid |
To produce high purity formic acid from impure CO gas and H2O. |
