ICC - Process Overview Image: //cdn.intratec.us/images/icc/process-overview/173-A.jpg
ICC - Process Overview Text: <h6>Product</h6> <p><b>Butadiene</b>. Butadiene is a commodity mainly produced as a byproduct of ethylene crackers. More specifically, it is extracted from the C4 hydrocarbons stream in naphtha-based crackers. The largest single use of butadiene is in the production of SBR and styrene-butadiene latexes.</p> <h6>Raw Materials</h6> <p><b>Chemicals</b>. </p> <b>n-Butane</b>. n-Butane is a saturated hydrocarbon containing 4 carbons, with unbranched structure. It is mainly used for gasoline blending, as a fuel gas and as a feedstock in the production of ethylene and Butadiene. Occurring in natural gas and in crude oil, butane is obtained mainly during the separation of natural gas into its components. The mixture of butane and propane is commercially referred as liquefied petroleum gas (or LPG).</p>
ICC - Process Schematic Image: //cdn.intratec.us/images/icc/process-schematics/173-A.jpg
ICC - Process Schematic Text: <p>The process under analysis comprises three major sections: (1) Dehydrogenation; (2) Cooling and Compression; and (3) Purification.</p><p>Dehydrogenation. Fresh butane is mixed with butane and butenes recovered downstream, and the mixture is then vaporized by heat exchange and heated in a gas fired charge heater. The feed stream is fed to a set of dehydrogenation reactors that operate in a defined sequence, on a cyclic basis, in such a way to permit continuous flow of the major process streams. The butane is converted to Butadiene while passing through fixed beds of chromia-alumina catalysts in the reactors. The dehydrogenation is carried out at 575 - 625 °C and 0.14 - 0.24 bar absolute. In each reactor cycle, after hydrocarbons dehydrogenation the reactor is purged with steam and blown with air, in order to reheat the catalyst and burn off coke deposited during the reaction. </p><p>Cooling and Compression. The hot effluent from the reactors is cooled by direct contact with a circulating quench oil stream. The quench oil absorbs polymeric compounds in the reactor effluent. The cooled effluent gas is compressed and partially condensed. The condensate is directed to distillation. The vapor is dried and, after chilling and condensation steps, C4+ are recovered and directed to distillation too.</p><p>Purification. Unreacted butane and butenes are partially removed from dehydrogenation product by conventional distillation. The butane and butenes are recycled to dehydrogenation. The stream rich in Butadiene, but still containing unreacted butane and butenes, is then submitted to extractive distillation in the presence of N-methylpyrrolidinone (NMP) used as solvent, yielding high purity Butadiene as the final product. Butane and butenes separated from the Butadiene are recycled to dehydrogenation.</p>
ICC - Short Description: This report presents the economics of 1,3-Butadiene (BD) production from n-butane. In the process, n-butane undergoes a dehydrogenation reaction process similar to Lummus Catadiene, generating a C4s stream which is purified to obtain 1,3-Butadiene. The economic analysis is based on a plant located in the United States.

This study provides an economic analysis of Polychloroprene production starting from butadiene and chlorine, based on a plant located in the United States. In the first step, butadiene is chlorinated, generating dichlorobutenes, which are subjected to an isomerization to convert them to 3,4-dichloro-1-butene. It is then dehydrochlorinated, forming chloroprene. Finally, chloroprene is polymerized to the respective rubber.
