Additionally, several factors influence industrial 2-propenenitrile procurement, such as the availability and cost of production of 2-propenenitrile's feedstock (propylene, ammonia, etc.), 2-propenenitrile market prices, distribution (including trading and shipping), logistics, regulatory compliance, supplier relationship, environmental regulations, safety standards, etc.
Raw Material for 2-propenenitrile Production
According to the 2-propenenitrile production plant project report, the major raw material for 2-propenenitrile production includes Propylene-Ammonia-Oxygen.
Production Process of 2-propenenitrile
The extensive 2-propenenitrile production cost report consists of the following industrial production process
- Production via Sohio process (Propylene Ammoxidation): 2-propenenitrile is manufactured by the catalytic ammoxidation of propylene in the vapor-phase. It involves the reaction of propylene with ammonia and oxygen in a fluid bed reactor, in the presence of bismuth and molybdenum oxides as the catalyst, which results in the formation of 2-propenenitrile as the final product, along with crude hydrogen cyanide and a fraction with heavy impurities. This method of producing 2-propenenitrile is highly efficient and cost effective.
2-propenenitrile (C3H3N) is a colorless liquid with a strong onion- or garlic like odour. The chemical structure of 2-propenenitrile is CH2=CH-CN. It quickly breaks down by reacting with other chemicals and sunlight in the presence of air. It is considered a hazardous chemical substance. Its repeated exposure can cause dizziness, nausea, vomiting, etc. However, its risks and properties are well understood.
The molecular weight of the compound is 53.06 g/mol. It’s melting point and boiling point is -83.55° C and 77.30° C, respectively. The compound exhibits unique and varied reactivity due to the presence of both the olefinic (carbon-carbon double bond) and the nitrile (cyano) group. 2-propenenitrile also contributes to the system's surface hardness, heat resistance, and chemical resistance.
