Trimethylolpropane Production
This report presents the economics of Trimethylolpropane (TMP) production from formaldehyde and n-butyraldehyde, assuming a plant located in the United States. In the process analyzed, formaldehyde and n-butyraldehyde go through an aldol condensation and a cross-Cannizaro reaction to form Trimethylolpropane, using 2,2-bis(hydroxymethyl)butanal as intermediate.
