ICC - Process Overview Image: //cdn.intratec.us/images/icc/process-overview/253-J.jpg
ICC - Process Overview Text: <h6>Product</h6> <p><b>Succinic Acid</b>. Succinic acid is a diprotic, dicarboxylic acid with the chemical formula C4H6O4, characterized by the reactivity of the two carboxylic functions and the two methylene groups. Uses range from pharmaceuticals to food, detergents, cosmetics, plastics and resins, plant growth regulators, textiles, photography, and gas and water treatment. While succinic acid has been traditionally produced by several petrochemical-based routes (e.g., hydrogenation of maleic acid and carbonylation of ethylene glycol), more recently, routes for bio-succinic acid production based on the fermentation of carbohydrates such as sugar are emerging. Therefore, for the “green” BDO production, it is necessary the construction of an integrated bio-succinic acid plant, since this bio-based raw material is not widely available on the market.</p> <h6>Raw Materials</h6> <p><b>Hydrogen</b>. The hydrogen molecule, H2, is the normal state of pure hydrogen, even though hydrogen can be found in its atomic form under specific conditions. It is a very stable molecule, not usually reactive under normal conditions. Essentially, molecular hydrogen is produced industrially by three different methods: hydrocarbons steam reforming, hydrocarbons partial oxidation and water electrolysis. Hydrogen can also be obtained as a by-product recovered in processes such as the manufacture of styrene from ethylbenzene.</p> <b>Chemicals</b>. </p> <b>Maleic Anhydride</b>. Maleic anhydride is a multifunctional chemical intermediate which find application in many fields of industrial chemistry. It is an important raw material used in the manufacture of polyester resins, lubricant additives, plasticizers, surface coatings, copolymers, and agricultural chemicals. It is produced by vapor-phase oxidation of n-butane (most common route) or benzene. </p>
ICC - Process Schematic Image: //cdn.intratec.us/images/icc/process-schematics/253-J.jpg
ICC - Process Schematic Text: <p>The process under analysis comprises four major sections: (1) Hydrogenation; (2) Intermediate Purification; (3) Hydration; and (4) Finishing.</p><p>Hydrogenation. Fresh hydrogen is mixed with excess hydrogen, compressed and fed with molten maleic anhydride to the first reactor. The hydrogenation reaction is carried out in inert atmosphere in multiple continuous-stirred-tank reactors equipped with jackets for reaction heat removal. The reaction product comprises, besides the desired succinic anhydride, gamma-butyrolactone, butyric acid and traces of other components that may also be generated by hydrogenation of maleic anhydride. </p><p>Intermediate Purification. The product of hydrogenation reaction is directed to a filter to separate and recover catalyst. The catalyst-free product is despressurized, so excess hydrogen can be collected and is recycled to reaction. The filtrated is routed to a vacuum distillation, where light side-products formed in the reaction are separated from the succinic anhydride. The molten product is cooled, solidified and transformed into flakes. </p><p>Hydration. In a dissolution vessel, the succinic anhydride flakes are mixed with hot, demineralized water. Succinic anhydride reacts with the hot water, forming a solution of Succinic Acid.</p><p>Finishing. The Succinic Acid solution is subjected to pressure reduction and cooling, Succinic Acid solubility changes and it precipitates. The succinic acid crystals are separated from the solution via centrifugation and are dried under vacuum. The solution are recycled to the dissolution vessel. Finally, the dried crystals are packed.</p><p></p>
ICC - Short Description: This report analyses the economics of a Succinic Acid production from maleic anhydride. In this process, maleic anhydride is first hydrogenated to produce succinic anhydride, which is then hydrated to produce Succinic Acid. The economic analysis presented is based on a plant constructed in the United States.
