This book was released on 2019-09-17 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report presents a cost analysis of Ethylene Dichloride (EDC) production from ethylene and chlorine using a direct chlorination process. The process examined is a high temperature chlorination (HTC) process similar to the one developed by Vinnolit. In this process, EDC is produced from ehtylene and chlorine in a direct chlorination reaction, and subsequently purified to "sales EDC quality". This report was developed based essentially on the following reference(s): (1) US Patent US6235953B1, issued to Vinnolit Monomer GmbH and Co KG in 2001 (2) European Patent EP1899287B1, issued to Vinnolit GmbH and Co KG ThyssenKrupp Uhde GmbH in 2006 Keywords: Ethene, 1,2-Dichloroethane, Vinnolit, Westlake
