ICC - Process Overview Text: <h6>Product</h6> <p><b>Linear Alkylbenzene</b>. Linear Alkylbenzene (LAB) is a key raw material for producing surfactants used in detergents and industrial cleaners. Its linear structure makes it biodegradable, making it a preferred choice in environmentally-friendly formulations. LAB is produced through the alkylation of benzene with linear alkenes and is stored as a liquid. Beyond its use in detergents, LAB is also applied in agricultural chemicals and as a carrier solvent in industrial formulations.</p> <h6>Raw Materials</h6> <p><b>Chemicals</b>. </p> <b>Benzene</b>. Benzene (C6H6) is a flammable and volatile liquid. As the most simple aromatic hydrocarbon, it is used as an intermediate to produce many important chemicals, such as styrene (raw material for polystyrene and synthetic rubber), cyclohexane (used in nylon production), alkylbenzenes (used in detergent industry), aniline (used to produce dyes and polyurethanes), and chlorobenzenes. Also, benzene is used to produce pharmaceuticals, specialty chemicals, plastics, and pesticides. It occurs naturally in crude oil and coal tar. </p> <b>C10-C13 n-Paraffins</b>. n-Paraffins C10–C13 are linear hydrocarbons used as feedstock for producing linear alkylbenzene sulfonates, which are surfactants in detergents. They also serve as solvents and in manufacturing chlorinated paraffins. Derived from kerosene fractions, they are stored as colorless liquids. Their straight-chain structure is crucial for biodegradability in detergent applications.</p>
ICC - Process Schematic Image: //cdn.intratec.us/images/icc/process-schematics/067-A.jpg
ICC - Process Schematic Text: <p>The process under analysis comprises three major sections: (1) olefins generation; (2) benzene alkylation; and (3) product purification.</p><p>Olefins generation. Linear paraffins are dehydrogenated to produce linear mono-olefins. The effluent is flashed, separating hydrogen gas generated from the liquid product. The hydrocarbons undergo a selective hydrogenation step to convert undersired diolefins back to mono-olefins. The hydrocarbon mixture proceeds to a stripping column for the removal of light fractions.</p><p>Benzene alkylation. After removal of light ends, the stream is passed through an aromatics adsorption system, finally resulting in a contaminant-free mono-olefins stream. The olefins are then mixed with benzene and fed to a reactor, where the alkylation reaction takes place to produce linear alkylbenzenes. The product stream proceeds to a series of distillation steps for purification.</p><p>Product purification. Four columns are employed in total. The first two distillation columns are responsible for recovering unreacted benzene and unconverted paraffins. The third column removes heavy aromatic components generated in alkylation, yielding LAB, while the fourth recovers the remaining LAB from the heavy aromatics fraction. The LAB stream is sent to storage area located outside battery limits while the heavies are burnt as fuel.</p>
ICC - Short Description: This report presents the economics of a Linear Alkylbenzene (LAB) production process from C10-C13 n-paraffins and benzene in the United States, via a typical hydrogenation/alkylation process. In the process examined, the C10-C13 n-paraffins are dehydrogenated to their respectives olefins, which are further alkylated with benzene to produce LAB.
