Overview

This 2-volume set provides a technical and economic analysis of 140 petrochemical processing techniques. Included are discussions of recent improvements in existing processes, such as the use of solvents in extractive distillation for benzene production, metathesis of olefins, olefins for oxo synthesis, and adiponitrile by direct hydrocyanation of butadiene or by the conversion of 1,6-hexanediol. Innovations covered include the extraction of paraxylene and 1-butene by selective adsorption on molecular sieves, hydrogen purification by permeation or by solid adsorption, production of carbon monoxide by adsorption in a solvent, and the use of cryogenics in separations of industrial gases through the use of low-temperature heat transfer. As the petrochemical industry adapts to shifting economic conditions Petrochemical Processes will provide the technical knowledge needed to make sound business judgments.
