This book was released on 2019-09-17 with total page 101 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report presents a cost analysis of Vinyl Chloride production from ethylene dichloride (EDC). The process examined is a typical thermal cracking process. In this process, ethylene dichloride is thermally cracked in pyrolysis furnaces to produce Vinyl Chloride. Hydrogen chloride is generated as a by-product in the process. This report was developed based essentially on the following reference(s): (1) "Chlorinated Hydrocarbons", Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry, 7th edition (2) US Patent 7767869, issued to Vinnolit in 2010 Keywords: Chloroethene, 1,2-Dichloroethane, Vinnolit, OxyVinyls, Thermal Cracking
