ICC - Process Schematic Text: <p>The process under analysis comprises two major sections: (1) 2-hexyl alpha-hydroxyisobutyrate (EHHIB) Synthesis and (2) Methyl Methacrylate (MMA) Production.</p><p>EHHIB Synthesis. HCN reacts with acetone, producing acetone cyanohydrin (ACH), which is sent to a hydrolysis reactor to form alpha-hydroxyisobutyramide (HIBA). The hydrolysis product is distilled to remove impurities and unreacted components (e.g., acetone). High-purity HIBA is obtained from the bottom of the column and routed to tubular reactors where it reacts with 2-ethylhexanol (2-EH) yielding EHHIB and NH3. The reactors outlet streams are sent to subsequent distillation columns for EHHIB purification and recovery of unreacted components, which are recycled to the reactors. Ammonia obtained from the reaction is separated from unreacted 2-EH and stored as a by-product.</p><p>Methyl Methacrylate (MMA) Production. Purified EHHIB is fed into a transesterification section, where it is reacted with methanol to generate methyl alpha-hydroxybutyrate (MHIB). 2-EH is also generated in this reaction and is recycled to the EHHIB sythesis section. After being separated from 2-EH, the MHIB-rich stream is sent to the cross-transesterification section, where it reacts with methacrylic acid (MAA) to form Methyl Methacrylate (MMA) and ?-hydroxyisobutyric acid (HIBAc). While HIBAc is dehydrated back into MAA to be reused in the process, MMA is sent to a set of distillation columns, from which high-purity MMA product is obtained and methanol is recovered for being recycled to the transesterification section.</p>
