ACROLEIN (CH2=CHCHO)
Acrolein (2-propenal) is an unsaturated aldehyde with a disagreeable odor. When pure, it is a colorless liquid, that is highly reactive and polymerizes easily if not inhibited.
The main route to produce acrolein is through the catalyzed air or oxygen oxidation of propylene.
Transition metal oxides or their combinations with metal oxides from the lower row 5a elements were found to be effective catalysts for the oxidation of propene to acrolein. Examples of commercially used catalysts are supported CuO (used in the Shell process) and Bi2O3/MoO3 (used in the Sohio process). In both processes, the reaction is carried out at temperature and pressure ranges of 300–360°C and 1–2 atmospheres.
In the Sohio process, a mixture of propylene, air, and steam is introduced to the reactor. The hot effluent is quenched to cool the product mixture and to remove the gases. Acrylic acid, a by-product from the oxidation reaction, is separated in a stripping tower where the acrolein acetaldehyde mixture enters as an overhead stream. Acrolein is then separated from acetaldehyde in a solvent extraction tower. Finally, acrolein is distilled and the solvent recycled.
