Book excerpt: This report presents a cost analysis of Methyl Methacrylate (MMA) production from isobutylene using an oxidation process. The process examined is similar to Sumitomo/Nippon Shokubai process. In this process, methacrylic acid (MAA) intermediate is initially produced by two-stage catalytic oxidation of isobutene. Then, MAA is esterified with methanol to produce MMA. This report was developed based essentially on the following reference(s): (1) EP Patent 1052017, issued to Nippon Shokubai in 2012 (2) "Methacrylic Acid and Derivatives", Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry, 7th edition Keywords: Isobutene, Methylpropene, Esterification, Two-Stage Oxidation, Japan Methacryl Monomer, JMM
