ICC - Process Overview Text: <h6>Product</h6> <p><b>Methional</b>. Methional, also known as 3-(methylthio)propionaldehyde, 3-(methylmercapto)propionaldehyde, or MMP is a colorless liquid with an unpleasant odor and irritating vapors. It can be used in the food and beverages industries and contains both aldehyde and thioether functional groups (its chemical formula is C4H8OS). MMP is industrially produced by reacting acrolein (that can be provided by a propylene oxidation unit) and methyl mercaptan in a continuous gas-liquid reactor using an organic base as catalyst. Usually, such MMP industrial plants are integrated to methionine units.</p> <h6>Raw Materials</h6> <p><b>Chemicals</b>. </p> <b>Acrolein</b>. Acrolein, or 2-propenal, is an unsaturated aldehyde, which is a volatile liquid at room temperature. Since it is a highly reactive compound, due to conjugation of the carbonyl group with a vinyl group, it has become a useful intermediate in industry that can be used to give a range of derivatives. Industrial production of acrolein is based on propylene oxidation. Commercial handling and storage demand special care. Besides being reactive, it is also flammable, toxic, and irritant for the skin, eyes and nasal passages. Inhibitors, such as hydroquinone and acetic acid, are usually employed in the commercial storage of acrolein.</p> <b>Methyl Mercaptan</b>. Methyl mercaptan, also known as methanethiol, is a simple molecule with chemical formula CH4S. It is a colorless and flammable gas with unpleasant odor. It is irritant when in contact with the eyes, skin, and upper respiratory tract. Commercial production of methyl mercaptan is based on the reaction of methanol with hydrogen sulfide over a solid catalyst. The main use of methyl mercaptan is in the synthesis of methionine. It also serves as precursor for pesticides.</p>
ICC - Process Schematic Image: //cdn.intratec.us/images/icc/process-schematics/361-A.jpg
ICC - Process Schematic Text: <p>In this process the main raw materials are methyl mercaptan (supplied in gasesous) and acrolein (supplied as liquid).</p><p>As acrolein and methyl mercaptan react in liquid phase, the most effective way to carry out the Methional synthesis reaction is in a reactive absorber. A small portion of the acrolein feed is vaporized to be fed to the reactor as gas. This leads to higher Methional yields.</p><p>Refined acrolein gas is fed to the absorber bottom and is then contacted with a circulating liquid mixture containing mainly Methional, methyl mercaptan, acrolein liquid feed, and catalyst/stabilizer. This liquid mixture absorbs the gaseous reactants into the liquid phase.</p><p>In the liquid phase, acrolein reacts with methyl mercaptan generating Methional. Due to the high conversion and selectivity, no purification steps are needed.</p>
