Book excerpt: This report presents a cost analysis of Methionine production from propylene, methyl mercaptan and hydrogen cyanide (HCN) In the process examined, propylene starting material is oxidized to acrolein, which is then reacted with methyl mercaptan to generate methional (a.k.a. MMP). Finally, methional is reacted with hydrogen cyanide to form methionine. This report was developed based essentially on the following reference(s): (1) US Patent 20130231501, issued to Evonik in 2013 (2) US Patent 8877981, issued to Evonik in 2014 Keywords: Methanethiol, MeSH, Propenal, Oxidation, Propene, DLM, 3-Methylmercapto Propionaldehyde, MMP, Methional, Essential Amino Acid, Degussa
