ICC - Process Overview Text: <h6>Product</h6> <p><b>2-Ethylhexyl Acrylate</b>. 2-Ethylhexyl Acrylate (a.k.a. 2-EHA), the ester of acrylic acid and 2-ethyl hexanol, is one of the most important higher alkyl acrylates. 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>2-Ethylhexanol</b>. 2-Ethylhexanol (also known as 2-EH) is an eight-carbon branched chain alcohol. It is one of the most important oxo alcohols sold in commerce, widely used in the production of emollients and plasticizers. The production on commercial scale of this alcohol is based on the aldol condensation of n-butyraldehyde (n-butanal) and the hydrogenation of the hydroxyaldehyde formed. In fact, 2-EH is commonly produced in integrated complexes based on OXO processes, where n-butanal is first obtained by hydroformylation of propylene, and then converted into the aldol, dehydrated and hydrogenated to 2-ethylhexanol; n-butanol and isobutanol can also be produced.</p>
ICC - Process Schematic Image: //cdn.intratec.us/images/icc/process-schematics/032-A.jpg
ICC - Process Schematic Text: <p>The process under analysis comprises two main sections: esterification and purification.</p><p>Esterification. Acrylic acid is initially reacted with 2-Ethylhexanol to produce 2-Ethylhexyl Acrylate in the presence of para-toluene sulfonic acid (PTSA). The esterification reactor is connected to an azeotropic distillation system for continuous removal of water from the reactor medium, improving reaction kinetics and shifting the reaction toward ester formation. </p><p>Purification. After the esterification, the reactor’s bottom product is passed through an extraction column, where PTSA catalyst is extracted with process water. Extracted catalyst is recycled to the esterification area, while a crude ester stream is distilled for the recovery of unreacted 2-ethylhexanol that is recycled to the esterification reaction. A final distillation removes the impurities from the product, yielding 99.5% pure 2-Ethylhexyl Acrylate.</p>
ICC - Short Description: This report approaches the production of 2-Ethylhexyl Acrylate (2-EHA) from acrylic acid and 2-ethylhexanol. The process examined is similar to the Synthomer's 2-EHA Process. In this process acrylic acid and n-butanol are directly converted to 2-EHA via an esterification reaction catalyzed by p-Toluene Sulfonic Acid. The economic analysis performed assumes a plant located in the United States.
