New developments in the production of methyl methacrylate
Methyl methacrylate MMA can be produced in different ways based on C-2-C-4 hydrocarbon feedstocks. In the present review, the recent commercialized and expected MMA technologies will be described and a comparison of these production routes is given. Thereby, the catalyst developnent will be strongly emphasized.
