    This document provides information on the production of acrolein. It begins by defining acrolein as an α,β-unsaturated aldehyde. It is a colorless, toxic liquid. The document then discusses the history of acrolein production, including the first industrial process developed by Degussa in 1942 using aldol condensation. It goes on to describe the main production processes of propene oxidation and glycerol route. Propene oxidation is identified as the commercially attractive process due to availability and cost of propene. The process description provides details of the catalytic vapor phase oxidation reaction using a bismuth molybdate catalyst. Finally, the document outlines the main uses of acrolein as a bi

    REVIEW ON
    PRODUCTION
    OF ACROLEIN
    K.RAVIRAJ
    S.ABDUL RAHAMAN

    ACROLEIN
    It belongs to ,-Unsaturated carbonyl compounds family

    C C

    Formula:

    C H2=CHCHO

    Other Names
    2-Propenal, Acrylaldehyde, Propenal, Acrylic aldehyde, prop-2-enal, Allyl aldehyde

    INRODUCTION
    It is simplest unsaturated aldehyde
    Primary characteristic of acrolein is conjugation of carbonyl group with
    vinyl group
    It is a colourless liquid with a piercing, disagreeable, acrid smell
    Highly toxic with lacrimatory properties
    It may be formed from the breakdown of certain pollutants in outdoor air
    or from the burning of organic matter including tobacco, or fuels such as
    gasoline or oil
    It is toxic to humans following inhalation, oral or dermal exposures

    AIM: To

    HISTORY:

    The first industrial process was invented by Degussa in1942, produced acrolein
    by aldol condensation of formaldehyde and acetaldehyde
    HCH=O + CH3CH=O CH2=CHCHO + H2O

    The second process that emerged at the end of the1950s was partial
    oxidation of propylene
    CH3CH=CH2 + [O] CH2=CHCHO + H2O
    The Shell Company initiated the gas phase acrolein production by partial
    oxidation of propylene in1958
    Followed by stand oil of Ohio(SOHIO)which indentified bismuthmolybdateas the
    catalyst for an economical and high yield acrolein production

    AIM: To

    MAIN PROCESSES:
    PROPENE OXIDATION:

    GLYCEROL ROUTE:

    (CH2OH)2CHOH CH2=CHCHO + 2 H2O

    SELECTION OF A PROCESS:
    Out of two processes propene oxidation is commercially attractive one
    BECAUSE
    Availability of propene is very high
    Economically viable
    Development of catalysts with high selectivity
    Cheap cost of propene compared to glycerol

    PROCESS DESCRIPTION:
    Catalytic vapour phase oxidation is generally carried out in fixed bed multi tube
    reactor
    FEED:
    Propene
    Steam
    Air
    CATALYST:
    Bismuth molybdate
    OPERATING CONDITIONS:
    Temperature: 350C
    Pressure: 1 atm
    The reaction is very exothermic [ heat of propene oxidation is 340 kJ/mol]

    Cont

    in addition to acrolein other side products are like acrylic acid,


    acetaldehyde, acetic acid, carbon monoxide, carbondioxide are formed

    Cont
    Resulting products from the reactor are separated by series of quench cooler,
    Acrolein Absorber, Water Distillation Tower, Acrolein Distillation Tower
    Finally acrolein of specified purity is obtaind

    Process flow diagram is show below

    AIM: To

    USES:

    AIM: To

    BIOCIDE:
    Acrolein is mainly used as a contact herbicide to control
    submersed and floating weeds, as well as algae, in irrigation
    canals
    Used as an agent to control growth of microbes in process feed
    lines
    Currently, It is used to control growth of algae in oil fields
    It is also used as a H2S Scavenger

    CHEMICAL PRECURSOR
    Used in the production of polyacrylate(SAP)
    Methionine production [animal growth, very important amino-acid]
    Transparent ballistic polymer[1,3 propanediol] production
    Poly-trimethylene terephthalate(PTT) production[ThePTT is widely using in
    carpet and textilemanufacturing]
