PREVENTION OF AMMONIA BREAKTHROUGH IN PROCESS OF ALKANE AMMOXIDATION Russian patent published in 2005 - IPC

FIELD: chemical technology.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to a method for reducing breakthrough fraction of ammonia in the process for manufacturing acrylonitrile. Method involves addition of hydrocarbon taken among the group consisting of propane and isobutene, ammonium and oxygen-containing gas to the bottom reactor compartment with fluidized bed and containing a catalyst for ammoxidation followed by interaction in the presence of indicated catalyst to form acrylonitrile. Method involves addition into reactor in the point lower by flow from feeding alkane of at least one among from C₂- to C₅-olefins that reacts with at least part of unreacted ammonia and oxygen presenting in the reactor that allows to carry out the significant reducing the ammonia amount presenting in the reaction flow coming out from the reactor. Except for, invention relates to a method for conversion of acrylonitrile manufacture based on propylene raw wherein propylene, ammonia and oxygen react in reactor in the presence the catalyst used in acrylonitrile manufacturing to the process of acrylonitrile manufacturing based on propane raw wherein propane, ammonia and oxygen reacts in the presence of catalyst used in preparing acrylonitrile. Method involves the following stages: (a) replacing the parent propylene-base raw with the propane-base parent raw; (b) addition into reactor in the point lower by flow from feeding alkane of at least one among from C₂- to C₅-olefin that reacts with at least part of unreacted ammonia and oxygen presenting in the reactor that results to reducing the amount of ammonia presenting in the reaction flow coming out from the reactor, and (c) addition agents for separation, trapping and recycling of unreacted propane to the process.

EFFECT: improved manufacturing method.
