This book was released on 2017-06-01 with total page 103 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report presents a cost analysis of Hexamethylenediamine (HMDA) production from butadiene and hydrogen cyanide In the process examined, butadiene reacts with hydrogen cyanide to produce adiponitrile as an intermediate. Subsequently, the adiponitrile is hydrogenated to produce HMDA. This report was developed based essentially on the following reference(s): (1) WO Patent 2015009847, issued to Invista Technologies in 2015 (2) US Patent 4395573, issued to Monsanto in 1981 Keywords: HMDA, Rhône-Poulenc, DuPont, Hydrocyanation
