New Catalyst for the Production of Acrolein Acid
A Propeneless Approach


Introduction

Acrolein has traditionally been produced by propene as a starting material, but with the high price of propene and the increasing availability of propane from oil and gas exploration,acrolein synthesis by selective oxidation of propane over various catalysts is of growing importance and of visible economic value.

So far, however, the reported highest yield to acrolein in the oxidation process is only 8%.

Our Technology

Using a new multi-component metal oxide catalyst, our invention provides oxidation of propane to acrolein, with a selectivity and yield of acrolein at 52.8% and 16.7% respectively.

Uses of Acrolein

Our catalyst is prepared by the co-precipitation method. The oxidation reaction is carried out in a fixed bed reactor, over various catalysts, under mild reaction conditions.After the separation of acrolein from the tail gas, the remainder tail gas can be recycled into the reactor and reused again.

Acrolein is used in the synthesis of the following chemicals and compounds:

  • Polyester resin

  • L-methionin

  • Polyurethane

  • Propylene glycol

  • Glycerine

  • Acrylic acid

    selectivity and yield of acrolein at 52.8% and 16.7% respectively
