Acetone PFD

The document is a process flow diagram (PFD) for the production of acetone from isopropyl alcohol. It shows the major process units including storage tanks, pumps, heat exchangers, distillation columns and their interconnections. The key steps are: 1) Isopropyl alcohol is fed to a reactor where it is catalytically oxidized to produce acetone. 2) The reactor effluent is cooled and the vapor stream is sent to a distillation column to separate acetone from water. 3) The bottom stream from the distillation column contains water and isopropyl alcohol, which are recycled back into the process.
