Terephthalic Acid Production from p-Xylene - Cost Analysis - TPA E12A by Intratec Pdf
This report presents a cost analysis of Purified Terephthalic Acid (PTA) production from p-xylene. The process examined is a conventional catalytic oxidation process. In this process, p-xylene is oxidized to Terephthalic Acid. The Terephthalic Acid from reaction passes through separation and drying steps and Crude Terephthalic Acid (CTA) is obtained as an intermediate. Subsequently, the CTA is subjected to purification via hydrogenation and PTA is separated as the final product. This report was developed based essentially on the following reference(s): (1) US Patent 5292934, issued to Amoco in 1994 (2) EP Patent 0824653, issued to DuPont in 2000 (3) US Patent 9018415, issued to Davy Process Technology in 2015 Keywords: Para-xylene, Paraxylene, TPA, CTA, Hydrogenation, Amoco, Catalytic Oxidation, Acetic Acid, BP, X Technology, PET, Polyethylene Terephthalate, Bromine
