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 Vinyl Chloride production from ethylene and chlorine. The process examined combines: (1) EDC production from ethylene and chlorine via direct chlorination, and (2) Vinyl Chloride production via thermal cracking of EDC. Besides Vinyl Chloride, the process also generates hydrogen chloride as by-product. This report was developed based essentially on the following reference(s): (1) US Patent 7767869, issued to Vinnolit in 2010 (2) US Patent 6235953, issued to Vinnolit in 2001 Keywords: Chloroethene, 1,2-Dichloroethane, Vinnolit, OxyVinyls, Thermal Cracking, Direct Chlorination
