Abstract

It is provided a process of converting syngas resulting from the gasification of a carbonaceous material into acetic acid and acrylic acid comprising converting the syngas into methanol and separating the methanol into a first and second stream, carbonylation of the first stream of methanol producing methyl acetate, hydrolyzing the methyl acetate to obtain acetic acid, oxidizing the second stream of the methanol into formaldehyde in a gas phase reaction, and reacting by aldol condensation the formaldehyde and acetic acid to produce acrylic acid. Particularly, the first stream of methanol is dehydrated to produce dimethyl ether (DME) and the DME is further contacted with syngas under an iodide-free environment to produce the methyl acetate by carbonylation, and subsequently acetic acid using a reactive distillation column.

Abstract

It is provided a process of converting syngas resulting from the gasification of a carbonaceous material into acetic acid and acrylic acid comprising converting the syngas into methanol and separating the methanol into a first and second stream, carbonylation of the first stream of methanol producing methyl acetate, hydrolyzing the methyl acetate to obtain acetic acid, oxidizing the second stream of the methanol into formaldehyde in a gas phase reaction, and reacting by aldol condensation the formaldehyde and acetic acid to produce acrylic acid. Particularly, the first stream of methanol is dehydrated to produce dimethyl ether (DME) and the DME is further contacted with syngas under an iodide-free environment to produce the methyl acetate by carbonylation, and subsequently acetic acid using a reactive distillation column.

The resulting combination of zeolites demonstrates a synergistic effect with respect to the conversion of the dimethyl ether and has improved resistance to deactivation due to carbon and coke formation than the individual zeolites alone when operating in this reaction. The catalyst is used to produce ethylene and propylene from a feed mixture containing methanol, dimethyl ether and water.

Abstract

A catalyst for the carbonylation of dimethyl ether to methyl acetate. The catalyst comprises a zeolite, such as a mordenite zeolite, at least one Group IB metal, such as copper, and/or at least one Group VIII metal, such as iron, and at least one Group IIB metal, such as zinc. Such a catalyst with combined metals provides enhanced catalytic activity, improved stability, and improved selectivity to methyl acetate, and does not require a halogen promoter, as compared to a metal-free or copper only zeolite.

Abstract

A method of producing methyl acetate from methanol in which methanol and carbon monoxide are reacted in a first reaction zone to provide a reaction product including methyl acetate, acetic acid, and unreacted methanol. The reaction product then is passed to a second reaction zone, wherein the acetic acid is reacted with the unreacted methanol to provide additional methyl acetate. The method is a more efficient method for producing methyl acetate from methanol in that acetic acid is not separated from the reaction product.

Abstract

A process for producing synthesis gas, or syngas, from biomass. The process comprises contacting biomass with oxygen, or oxygen and steam, in an amount effective to oxidize the biomass and to heat the biomass to a temperature to no greater than 750° C. At least one combustible material also is contacted with oxygen and steam to heat the at least one combustible material to a temperature of at least 1,100° C., to provide a hot gas derived from the oxidized combustible material. The latter maybe residual products derived from the process itself as char, tar, or hydrocarbons. The oxidized biomass then is contacted with the hot flue gas to heat the biomass to a temperature of at least 900° C., thereby producing synthesis gas. The synthesis gas then is recovered. Such process provides a method of providing heat for producing synthesis gas without consuming a portion of the synthesis gas to provide such heat, thereby providing an increased yield of synthesis gas.

A process for converting methanol to ethanol which comprises reacting methanol and carbon monoxide in the presence of a catalyst to produce a product comprising at least 25 mole % methyl acetate and, in some instances, acetic acid. The acetic acid then is reacted with at least one alcohol to produce at least one acetate selected from methyl acetate, ethyl acetate, and butyl acetate. The at least one acetate (if produced) and the methyl acetate produced as a result of reacting methanol and carbon monoxide then are hydrogenated to produce ethanol.

Abstract

A process for producing synthesis gas from biomass in which biomass is contacted with oxygen and steam, wherein the oxygen is present in an amount effective to oxidize the biomass partially and to heat the biomass to a temperature of at least 500° C. and no greater than 750° C. At least a portion of the partially oxidized biomass then is treated with oxygen and steam to heat the biomass to a temperature of at least 800° C., thereby producing a synthesis gas, which then is recovered.

Abstract

A process for converting methanol to ethanol which comprises reacting methanol and carbon monoxide in the presence of a catalyst to produce a product comprising at least 25 mole % methyl acetate and, in some instances, acetic acid. The acetic acid then is reacted with at least one alcohol to produce at least one acetate selected from methyl acetate, ethyl acetate, and butyl acetate. The at least one acetate (if produced) and the methyl acetate produced as a result of reacting methanol and carbon monoxide then are hydrogenated to produce ethanol. Syngas may be produced from biomass to produce all or a portion of the methanol, hydrogen, and carbon monoxide requirements for the process.

Abstract

A method of producing end treating synthesis gas in which a biomass-rich material is gasified in a gasifier containing a fluidized bed at a temperature that does not exceed 750°C to produce a crude synthesis gas product. The crude synthesis gas then is quenched, scrubbed, and then subjected to at least one adsorption step to provide a clean synthesis gas. The clean synthesis gas then may be reformed catalytically to provide a synthesis gas with a dosired H2:CO ratio, and/or may be employed in the synthesis of desired chemicals.
