This report presents a cost analysis of n-Butyl Acrylate production from chemical grade propylene and n-butanol The process examined is a typical propylene oxidation, followed by a typical esterification process. In this process, propylene passes through a two-stage vapor phase oxidation to generate an acrylic acid-containing gas, from which acrylic acid is recovered via absorption in water. The aqueous acrylic acid solution is purified via light solvent extraction to ester-grade acrylic acid to be combined with n-butanol in a esterification reactor to generate crude a crude ester stream that is furhter purified to generate high-purity butyl acrylate. This report was developed based essentially on the following reference(s): (1) "Acrylic Acid", Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry, 7th edition (2) "Acrylic Acid and Derivatives", Kirk-Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology, 5th edition Keywords: Propene, Air Oxidation, Propenoic Acid, Nippon Shokubai, Rohm & Haas, Dow, Esterification, Nippon Shokubai, Mitsubishi, BASF

Due to the scarcity of oil in the future, alternative resources and production pathways for the production of chemicals need to be identified. To allow for an economic production of these chemicals, the use of innovative equipment and methods has to be investigated to intensify the processes. Reaction distillation integrates separation by distillation and reaction into one unit and is already known to be a promising concept to improve process performance, leading to more sustainable processes. However, the design of reactive distillation processes using bio-based raw materials is difficult because the wide impurity profile of the reactants may lead to a large number of additional reactions and thermodynamic non-idealties. Hence, within this work, a 4-step methodology for the design of a reactive distillation column processing bio-based resources is presented. In this study, the focus is on the impact of impurities, resulting from the use of bio-based raw material. Based on these results, the product purity in presence of the impurities is analysed and operational and design changes to overcome identified product purity limitations will be presented.
