ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
We hereby place our sincere thanks to Dr.R.KARTHIKEYAN, Head of the
Department of Chemical Engineering , Faculty of Engineering and Technology, S.R.M
University and the faculty members of Chemical Engineering Department for their full hearted co-operation and encouragement for the completion of this project.
We extend our thanks to our Project guide Mr. K.SELVAM M.Tech for the Motivation, encouragement and guidance provided. We would also like to extend our thanks to each and everyone who have helped us in completing this project successfully.
ABSTRACT
This project deals with the manufacture of acrylic acid from propylene by oxidation of propylene. Acrylic acid is a colorless liquid with an irritating acrid odor at room temperature and pressure. Acrylic acid is used primarily as a starting material in the production of acrylic esters; as a monomer for polyacrylic acid and salts, as a comonomer with acrylamide for polymers used as flocculants, with ethylene for ion exchange resin polymers, with methyl ester for polymers.
A detailed process flow sheet, Material Balance, Energy Balance, have been prepared. A detailed design of equipments, Cost estimation for plants, plant layout and safety aspects have been discussed.
