Vinyl chloride |
To produce vinyl chloride monomer (VCM) from ethylene, oxygen, chlorine and hydrogen chloride. |
| 18 |
Vinyl acetate |
To produce vinyl acetate starting from ethylene, acetic acid and oxygen using a continuous gas phase process. |
| 17 |
Acetic anhydride |
Production of acetic anhydride from methanol and carbon monoxide by carbonylation of methyl acetate. |
| 16 |
Acrylonitrile |
A process for the manufacture of acrylonitrile from propylene, anhydrous fertilizer-grade ammonia and air. 99 + % purity HCN and acetonitrile may be recovered as salable byproducts if desired. |
| 15 |
Alpha alcohols |
A process for making even-numbered, straightchain alpha alcohols from ethylene, aluminum, hydrogen, solvents, air, and water. The process also produces byproducts of either high-purity alumina or alum. |
| 14 |
Propylene oxide |
A novel process for the production of propylene oxide from propylene and hydrogen peroxide via perpropionic acid. |
| 13 |
Polyesters |
Processes for the production of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) starting from ethylene glycol (EG) and terephthalic acid (TPA) or dimethylterephthalate (DMT). |
| 12 |
Oxo process |
The process is suitable for the production of n-butyraldehyde from propylene and syngas (carbon monoxide/hydrogen). |
| 11 |
C6-C8 Olefins |
To make octenes by dimerization of butylenes or a mixture of olefins by codimerization of propylene and butylenes. |
| 10 |
Octenes |
The Octol process can produce octenes (C8's) and/or C12's as intermediates to plasticizers and surfactants. Made by catalytic dimerization of n-butenes, the olefin products exhibit a low degree of branching and are obtained at high yields. |
