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 Acetone production from propylene. The process examined is a typical hydration/dehydrogenation process. In this process, propylene is directly hydrated in a catalytic reactor, producing isopropanol. Then, isopropanol is dehydrogenated in the vapor phase in a fixed bed catalyst reactor to produce acetone. This report was developed based essentially on the following reference(s): Keywords: Propanone, Fixed-Bed Reactor, Catalytic Reactor, Isopropyl Alcohol, 2-Propanol
