Natural gas is mixed with steam and reformed over two stages to yield hydrogen and carbon monoxide. Reaction is highly endothermic and takes p1 ace at 8000e and 32 bar. In the second stage air is added so that the heat ...

Cyclohexane is oxidised by air in a series of three reactors, endothermically at l650C and 10.5 bar in the presence of boiler acid to produce a mixture of cyclohexanone and cyclohexanol, called ketone-alcohol (KA) oil. ...

Propylene, steam and air are fed at atmospheric pressure to two tubular reactors in series. In the first, propylene is oxidised to acrolein at 3700C. In the second, the acrolein is almost completely oxidised at 2700C ...

A mixture of vapourised acetic acid and 0.25 percent triethyl phosphate is fed into a tubular reactor. Pyrolysis takes place at 7500C under a pressure of 200 mmHg. The cracking furnace exit gases containing acetic anhydride, ...

Methanol and carbon monoxide are reacted in a hastelloy reactor operating at l700C and 30-40 bar. The reactor contents are a liquid phase mixture of ethers, esters, acids and water together with an iodide promoted ...
