Design a chemical plant to produce 50000 metric tons per annum of acrylic acid from propylene (assumed pure propylene), air (a source of axygen), and steam. The compressed air contains waler vapor at an amount that would saturate the air at 25C and 1atm. The components are mixed and fed to the reaclor at 4.3atm. The mole fractions of the feed are: 0.06 propylene, 0.55 air and 0.4 sleam. The reactions occurring withing the reactor are as follows: C3H6+1.5O2C2H4O2+H2O Propylene acrylic acid C3H6+4.5O23CO2+3H2O Propylane Equation (1) is the desired acrylic acid production reaction and equation (2) is the undesired propylene combustion reaction. Selectivity and comversion at various temperatures. Page 1 of 9
