Petrochemical Industry Ø Feedstocks for petrochemicals are gas and light to middle petroleum liquids Ø Natural gas can also be used as feedstock for petrochemicals ØNearly all petrochemicals are produced over catalysts Ø Both homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts are involved 2

Major reactions in petrochemical production 1. Alkylation 2. Isomerization 3. Catalytic reforming 4. Disproportionation 5. Transalkylation 6. Selective oxidation 7. Dehydrogenation 21
Alkylation is the introduction of an alkyl group into a molecule It may involve a new C-C, O-C, N-C bond formation Alkylation is catalyzed by acidic or basic catalysts Acid catalysts are used mainly in aromatics alkylation at ring-C Basic catalysts are used in alkylation at side-chain-C CH 3 OH 22
Alkylation of Aromatics 23
Alkylation of naphthalene 2, 6 - diisopropyl naphthalene (DIPN) is a valuable monomer for the synthesis of poly-ethyl naphthalene (PEN) polymers This can be produced from the oxidation of alkyl naphthalenes Direct alkyklation yields ten isomers that are difficult to separate DIPN: diisopropyl naphthalene Indirect routes have, therefore, been adopted for their synthesis 24
Isomerization Ø Catalysts used in isomerization are usually bifunctional types. Ø Typical examples of bifunctional catalysts: Pt-ZSM 5, Pt-mordenite & Pt-(silica)-alumina Ø Use of zeolites with the right pore-size or cavities prevents the bimolecular transition state formation and increases isomerization selectivity 25
Xylene Isomerization Mechanism 26
Catalytic reforming for aromatics production The reactions are: Desired reactions in Catalytic reforming 27
Disproportionation 2 Catalyst Toluene disproportionation 28
Transalkylation Catalyst C 9+ aromatics transalkylation 29
Selective oxidation reactions Oxidation of partially oxidized compounds is more favorable over oxidation of the initial reactants, resulting in low selectivity. Selective oxidation overcomes the above problem 30
Production of adipic acid via Selective oxidation Current method is the oxidation of cyclohexanol with HNO 3 producing N 2 O Noyori’s method is oxidation of cyclohexene (commercially attractive) Frost’s method uses an enzyme and a renewable raw material – glucose Oxidation of n-hexane or cyclohexane 31
Current process for adipic acid 2 H 2 O + 32
Environmentally-friendly routes for adipic acid Oxidation of cyclohexane Oxidation of n-hexane 33
Oxidation of alkanes The present route for acetic acid and vinyl acetate manufacturing is: CH 4 H 2 + CO CH 3 OH (+CO) CH 3 COOH -- (1) C 2 H 6 C 2 H 4 ------ (2) C 2 H 4 + CH 3 COOH CH 2 CHOCOCH 3 ----- (3) Or via: Direct vapour-phase catalytic oxidation of ethane to acetic acid and ethene, and then the reaction of acetic acid and ethene to produce vinyl acetate: 2 C 2 H 6 CH 3 COOH + C 2 H 4 CH 2 CHOCOCH 3 34
Use of alternate raw materials: Selective oxidation reactions that need to be commercialized 1. Propane to acrolein (CH =CH-CHO) and acroleic acid (CH =CH-CHO ) (presently use propylene) 2. Butane to methacrylic acid (CH CH =CH-CHO ) (presently butene is used) 3. Propane to acrylonitrile (CH =CH-CN) (propylene used at present) 4. Ethane to vinyl chloride (CH =CHCl) (ethylene is used at present) 5. Methane to methanol to formaldehyde (HCHO) and formic acid (HCOOH) (Synthesis gas (mixture of CO and H 2) used at present) 6. n-Hexane to adipic acid (HO C(CH ) CO H) (Cyclohexanol and nitric acid used at present) 2 2 3 2 2 2 2 4 2 35
Phenol production 36
Polycarbonate production (dimethyl carbonate) diphenol carbonate (DPC) 37
Dehydrogenation • Dehydrogenation reactions involve the removal of H 2 from organic molecules • Recently, the demand for propenes and butenes has been increasing. • Direct production of these specific alkenes is important (for example, selectively dehydrogenate the specific alkane to the relevant alkene) • Alkane dehyrogenation is highly endothermic 38
Some Dehydrogenation Reactions In Petrochemical Industry Dehydrogenation of alkanes Dehydrogenation of cyclo-alcohol Dehydrogenation of alkyl-benzene Dehydrogenation of cyclo-alkane + 4 H 2 39
