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 Caprolactam production from butadiene, carbon monoxide, hydrogen, and ammonia. In the process, the product from the reaction of carbon monoxide with butadiene is first hydrocarbonylated. The following steps are amination and cyclization reactions, producing Caprolactam. This report was developed based essentially on the following reference(s): Keywords: BD, DuPont, DSM, BASF, Carbonylation, Esterification, Hydroformylation, Reductive Amination, Cyclization
