Book excerpt: This report presents a cost analysis of 1,3-Butadiene (BD) production from hydrous ethanol. This process consists of a two-stage reaction process. First, ethanol reacts to produce acetaldehyde and then, the acetaldehyde intermediate is reacted with ethanol to produce 1,3-Butadiene. Raffinate is generated as by-product in the process. This report was developed based essentially on the following reference(s): (1) Burla, J., et al., "Two-Step Production of 1,3-Butadiene from Ethanol", University of Pennsylvania, 2012 (2) US Patent 2403741, issued to Carbide & Carbon Chemicals in 1946 Keywords: Ethyl Alcohol, BD, Tubular Reactor, Fixed-Bed Reactor
