Propylene Oxide From Propylene And Chlorine Cost Analysis Propylene Oxide E11a

This report presents a cost analysis of Propylene Oxide (PO) production from chemical grade (CG) propylene and chlorine. The process examined is a typical chlorohydrin process. In this process, propylene and chlorine first react to produce propylene chlorohydrin intermediate. Then, the chlorohydrin intermediate is dehydrochlorinated to Propylene Oxide. Dichloropropane is generated as by-product in the process. This report was developed based essentially on the following reference(s): "Propylene Oxide", Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry, 7th edition Keywords: Chlorohydrination, Saponification, Calcium Oxide, CaO, Calcium Hydroxide, CHPO
