  • 6.5 Phthalic Anhydride
    6.5 Phthalic Anhydride 6.5.1 General1 Phthalic anhydride (PAN) production in the United States in 1972 was 0.9 billion pounds per year; this total is estimated to increase to 2.2 billion pounds per year by 1985. Of the current production, 50 percent is used for plasticizers, 25 percent for alkyd resins, 20 percent for unsaturated polyester resins, and 5 percent for miscellaneous and exports. PAN is produced by catalytic oxidation of either orthoxylene or naphthalene. Since naphthalene is a higher-priced feedstock and has a lower feed utilization (about 1.0 lb PAN/lb o-xylene versus 0.97 lb PAN/lb naphthalene), future production growth is predicted to utilize o-xylene. Because emission factors are intended for future as well as present application, this report will focus mainly on PAN production utilizing o-xylene as the main feedstock. The processes for producing PAN by o-xylene or naphthalene are the same except for reactors, catalyst handling, and recovery facilities required for fluid bed reactors. In PAN production using o-xylene as the basic feedstock, filtered air is preheated, compressed, and mixed with vaporized o-xylene and fed into the fixed-bed tubular reactors. The reactors contain the catalyst, vanadium pentoxide, and are operated at 650 to 725EF (340 to 385EC). Small amounts of sulfur dioxide are added to the reactor feed to maintain catalyst activity. Exothermic heat is removed by a molten salt bath circulated around the reactor tubes and transferred to a steam generation system. Naphthalene-based feedstock is made up of vaporized naphthalene and compressed air.

  • Partial Oxidation of N-Pentane Over Vanadium Phosphorus Oxide Supported on Hydroxyapatites
    RESEARCH ARTICLE S. Singh, 1 S. Afr. J. Chem., 2016, 69, 1–8, <http://journals.sabinet.co.za/sajchem/>. Partial Oxidation of n-Pentane over Vanadium Phosphorus Oxide supported on Hydroxyapatites Sooboo Singh School of Chemistry and Physics, University of KwaZulu-Natal, Durban, 4000, South Africa. E-mail: [email protected] Received 14 August 2015, revised 13 November 2015, accepted 20 November 2015. ABSTRACT The selective oxidation of n-pentane to value-added products, maleic anhydride or phthallic anhydride by vanadium phosphorus oxide loaded on hydroxyapatites as catalysts and oxygen as oxidant was investigated. Hydroxyapatite (HAp) and cobalt- hydroxyapatite (Co-HAp) were prepared by the co-precipitation method and VPO with varying weight percentages (2.5–15.0 %) were loaded on the hydroxyapatite supports by the wet impregnation technique. The catalyst materials were characterized by surface area measurements, elemental analysis, powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), infrared spectroscopy (IR) and temperature- programmed reduction (TPR). VPO is present in two phases, viz.(VO)2P2O7 and VOPO4. With increase in the VPO loading on the hydroxyapatites, the (VO)2P2O7 phase also increased. From catalytic results, a conversion of 75 % of n-pentane and selectivity towards maleic anhydride, about 50 % and phthalic anhydride, about 25 %, were consistently achieved with loadings of 5.0 and 7.5 wt. % VPO at 360 °C for GHSVs of 1900 and 2300 h–1. Under optimum conditions, product yields of up to 40 % maleic anhydride and 20 % phthalic anhydride were obtained. It is proposed that the products formed through the diene intermediate.

This approach provides an opportunity to overcome many disadvantages associated styrene-maleic acid (SMA) copolymer with a traditional detergent-based technique including protein denaturation and displacement of boundary lipids poly(styrene-co-maleic acid) salt (pSMA-S) which may offer both structural and functional stability to membrane proteins. Thylakoid membranes (TMs) membrane protein from photosynthetic organisms are well studied protein-rich membranes that host several multi-subunit protein thylakoid complexes associated with oxygenic photosynthesis. These protein complexes are important for applied pho- solubilization efficacy tosynthesis and by being extracted and purified they can be used in the near future for direct energy conversion.

  • Production of Maleic Anhydride
    Production of Maleic Anhydride Background Maleic anhydride is a versatile chemical intermediate used to make unsaturated polyester resins, lube oil additives, alkyd resins, and a variety of other products. In 1995, global production of maleic anhydride was estimated at 1.8 billion pounds, with an estimated value of $700 million. Over the last five years, world consumption has increased at an average annual rate of 5.8%, with the fastest growth occurring in Asia, where it is used as an intermediate for production of 1,4-butanediol [1]. The goal of this project is to design a grass roots facility that is capable of producing 40 million pounds of maleic anhydride per year from n-butane. Process Description Figure 1 shows a PFD for the overall process. Pure butane, Stream 2, and compressed air, Stream 3, are mixed and fed to R-101, an adiabatic reactor, where butane reacts with oxygen to form maleic anhydride. The reaction is exothermic, therefore, one could consider either a fluidized bed reactor or a packed bed reactor with heat removal to stay close to isothermal. The reactor effluent is cooled and sent to T-101, a packed bed absorber, where it is contacted with water, Stream 7, to remove the light gases and all of the maleic anhydride reacts to form maleic acid. The vapor effluent, which consists of non-condensables, Stream 8, must be sent to an after-burner to remove any carbon monoxide prior to venting to the atmosphere. This is not shown here. The liquid effluent, Stream 9, is then cooled and flashed at 101 kPa and 120°C in V-101.

Sc. (Bar-Han University) SUPERVISOR: Professor H. D. H. Stover NUMBER OF PAGES: (xxv, 198) ii Abstract This thesis addresses the formation and properties of capsule walls formed from new types of wall-former materials such as styrene-maleic anhydride and styrene­ maleimide based preformed hydrophobic polymers. During the course of this study two new methods of encapsulation were developed: interfacial encapsulation based on the cross-linking reaction between oil-soluble styrene-maleic anhydride (SMA) copolymer and a water-soluble polyamine, or alternatively the hydrolysis reaction of tert­ butyl styrene-maleic anhydride copolymers to produce non-cross-linked microcapsules, and photoinduced phase-separation encapsulation. The internal morphologies of the produced SMA microcapsules were found to depend primarily upon polymer/core-solvent interactions and rate of amine addition. Thus, the transition from matrix structures to hollow particles was observed with increasing volume fraction of hydrophobic non-solvent, dodecyl acetate, or alternatively by slowing the rate of polyamine addition. The effect of polymer loading, type of polymer and polyamine, and molecular weight of the preformed polymer on the observed morphologies was also investigated.

  • Maleic Anhydride
    Maleic Anhydride 108-31-6 Hazard Summary Maleic anhydride is used in the formulation of resins. Exposure to maleic anhydride may occur from accidental releases to the environment or in workplaces where it is produced or used. Acute (short-term) inhalation exposure of humans to maleic anhydride has been observed to cause irritation of the respiratory tract and eye irritation. Chronic (long-term) exposure to maleic anhydride has been observed to cause chronic bronchitis, asthma-like attacks, and upper respiratory tract and eye irritation in workers. In some people, allergies have developed so that lower concentrations can no longer be tolerated. Kidney effects were observed in rats chronically exposed to maleic anhydride via gavage (experimentally placing the chemical in the stomach). EPA has not classified maleic anhydride for carcinogenicity. Please Note: The main sources of information for this fact sheet are EPA's Integrated Risk Information System (IRIS) (6), which contains information on oral chronic toxicity and the RfD, and EPA's Health and Environmental Effects Profile for Maleic Anhydride. (2) Other secondary sources include Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB) (1), a database of summaries of peer-reviewed literature, and the Registry of Toxic Effects of Chemical Substances (RTECS) (3), a database of toxic effects that are not peer reviewed. Uses Maleic anhydride is used primarily in the formation of unsaturated polyester resins for use in boats, autos, trucks, buildings, piping, and electrical goods. Lube oil adhesives synthesized from maleic anhydride are used to prolong oil-change intervals and improve engine efficiency. (2,9) Maleic anhydride is also used to make copolymers, pesticides, and other organic compounds, and in Diels-Alder syntheses.
