AcryloMax

 Oxidation Catalyst for Production of Acrylonitrile (AN) via Ammoxidation of Propylene


AcryloMax® allows more profitable and efficient production of acrylonitrile (AN), which is an important intermediate in the value chain of plastics and synthetic fibers for the automotive and textile industries. AN is produced from propylene, ammonia and air in contact with a catalyst.

The AcryloMax catalyst enables synthesis of acrylonitrile via ammoxidation of propylene in a fluidized bed reactor. (HCN) is also generated as a valuable side product.
Benefits

    Can deliver up to several percent AN yield gains, compared to other catalysts on the market.
    High selectivity to AN and HCN at excellent conversion rates under a number of different process conditions
    Compatible with SOHIO-type acrylonitrile plants
