ICC - Process Overview Text: <h6>Product</h6> <p><b>Nylon 66</b>. Nylon 66 (a.k.a. Polyamide 66) is one of the principal commercial nylons along with Nylon 6. The term ‘Nylon’ refers basically to polyamides, which are high polymers containing the amide repeat linkage in the polymer backbone. Those polymers not only were the first engineering thermoplastics, but still are the most important ones among these types of material.</p> <h6>Raw Materials</h6> <p><b>Chemicals</b>. </p> <b>Fiber Grade Adipic Acid</b>. Fiber grade adipic acid is a crucial raw material in the production of nylon 6,6, a widely used synthetic fiber in textiles, carpets, and industrial materials. Its role in creating polyamide resins gives it significant value in the automotive, clothing, and packaging sectors. Fiber grade adipic acid is produced mainly through the oxidation of cyclohexane or phenol. It is handled as a crystalline solid and can be easily stored and transported. Its demand is tied closely to the growth of the synthetic fiber industry and related applications.</p> <b>HMDA</b>. HDA is a colorless solid, that is very soluble in water, alcohols and aromatic solvents. It is a strong organic base. This chemical started being produced as a captive product for nylon production. Nowadays, the majority of the Hexamethylenediamine produced is still consumed in nylon 66 manufacturing, however it has found new applications in the production of polyisocynates. Hexamethylenediamine is produced nowadays via the catalytic hydrogenation of adiponitrile, either using a high or low pressure process.</p>
ICC - Process Schematic Image: //cdn.intratec.us/images/icc/process-schematics/223-B.jpg
ICC - Process Schematic Text: <p>The process under analysis comprises three major sections: (1) salt generation; (2) polymerization; and (3) finishing.</p><p>Salt generation. An adipic acid solution is formed by mixing adipic acid powder with water and molten HMDA. The solution is fed to a recirculation reactor, from which a 60 wt% nylon salt solution is withdrawn. The solution must be further treated for impurities removal before being fed to an intermediate tank.</p><p>Polymerization. The nylon salt solution from the intermediate tank is concentrated in an evaporator to about 80 wt% and fed to the first of three polymerization stages. The elevated reaction temperatures cause water and minor amounts of HMDA to evaporate and be collected by a column at the top of the reactor. HMDA is recovered and recycled to the reactor, while water is purged from the process. The liquid reaction mixture is than transferred to the second polymerization stage. At this point, it comprises 10 wt% water. In the second stage, further conversion is achieved by temperature increase. The polymer melt obtained is further reacted in a third stage at reduced pressures for residual moisture removal and finally transferred to the finishing section.</p><p>Finishing. The polymer melt is cut into pellets in an underwater pelletizing strand system and subsequently fed to a fluid bed dryer for moisture removal. The dry pellets are finally homogenized in mixing silos and fed to the packing system.</p>
