    Example 1: Production of Benzene

    Toluene and hydrogen are used as feed stocksfor the production of benzene. The toluene and hydrogen are sent to a reactor, and the effluent is sent to a gas separator where the noncondensable gases are discharged … See more

    Example 2: Oxidation of Propene to Acrylic Acid

    Propane is dehydrogenated to propene, which is oxidized to acrolein first and then further oxidized to acrylic acid. The products are separated in the end to give acrylic acid and various by-products. The by-product… See more
