ICC - Process Overview Text: <h6>Product</h6> <p><b>Ethyl Acrylate</b>. Ethyl Acrylate the ethyl ester of acrylic acid, is one of the main acrylates, along with butyl acrylate and methyl acrylate. The term acrylates refers to derivatives of acrylic acid and methacrylic acid, such as salts and esters. These compounds were known since the nineteenth century, however, only in the 1930s difficulties associated with their production and polymerization were overwhelmed. Over the past decades, acrylates have been building blocks of major importance, widely used in emulsion and solution polymers.</p> <h6>Raw Materials</h6> <p><b>Chemicals</b>. </p> <b>Acrylic Acid</b>. Acrylic acid, ester grade is a vital intermediate in the production of acrylate esters, which are widely used in adhesives, coatings, and textiles. Its reactivity enables it to form polymers that are valuable for water-based paints, adhesives, and textiles. Ester grade acrylic acid is typically produced through the oxidation of propylene. It is stored as a liquid and supplied to manufacturers who use it to create a range of acrylate-based products, driving demand across multiple industries.</p> <b>Ethanol</b>. Ethanol, also known as ethyl alcohol, may work as a solvent, a germicide, a fuel, and as a chemical intermediate for other organic chemicals. Currently, ethanol is mostly produced via fermentation of sugars, which can be obtained from crops, such as sugarcane and starch. However by relying on the sugar and starch content of food crops, ethanol production competes with food production. Therefore, recent research focus on the use of low-value raw materials, often deemed “waste”, to produce ethanol. That low-value feed can be biomass of lignocellulosic material found in wood, sugarcane bagasse and grain crop stubbles, or can be carbon monoxide found in waste gas streams from a range of industries. Lignocellulosic biomass could represent a new fermentable raw material if hydrolysis of this material is performed. Technological advances in this reaction still need to be achieved in order to make it economically feasible and render this usage of the agricultural residues competitive with respect to others, such as heat generation by burn.</p>
ICC - Process Schematic Image: //cdn.intratec.us/images/icc/process-schematics/308-A.jpg
ICC - Process Schematic Text: <p>The process examined comprises two main sections: esterification and purification.</p><p>Esterification. Acrylic acid is initially reacted with ethanol to produce Ethyl Acrylate. Such esterification reaction is carried out in a fixed bed reactor, packed with an ion-exchange resin used as strong acid catalyst. The reactions occur in the liquid phase, and a small excess of ethanol is used to improve reaction kinetics and shift the reaction toward the ester formation. </p><p>Purification. After the esterification, a crude acrylate product stream is separated from a heavy-ends stream containing unconverted acrylic acid and heavy by-products formed by the reaction. This heavy-ends stream is directed to a distillation column, in which unreacted acrylic acid is separated from the by-products and is recycled to the esterification. Unreacted ethanol is also extracted from the crude ester, distilled, and recycled. A final distillation removes the impurities from the product, yielding 99.5% pure Ethyl Acrylate.</p>
ICC - Short Description: This report presents the economics of Ethyl Acrylate production from acrylic acid and ethanol in the United States, via a direct esterification process similar to the Synthomer process. The esterification is conducted in a fixed bed reactor, packed with an ion-exchange resin that is used as strong acid catalyst.
