Definition of The Project
A Methane to Acetic acid plant is to be set up at Brammanbaria in Bangladesh having a capacity
of 300 ton 99% Acetic Acid per day, corresponding to 109500 ton of 99%Acetic Acid per
year, and an intermediate capacity of 450 ton of 91.5% Methanol per day corresponding to ton
of 16500 tons 91.5% of Methanol per year including all offsites, auxiliaries, utilities and
supporting facilities using Industrial Grade Methane (96.48% CH4) fromTitas Gas Field as
raw material.
Product & Raw material
Specifications
Acetic Acid, CH3COOH:
Acetic acid,systematically named ethanoic acid,is an organic compound.It is a colourless liquid
that when undiluted is also called glacial acetic acid. Acetic acid has a distinctive sour taste and
pungent smell.
Liquid acetic acid is a hydrophilicprotic solvent, similar to ethanol and water. It dissolves not
only polar compounds such as inorganic salts and sugars, but also non-polar compounds such as
oils and elements such as sulfur and iodine. It readily mixes with other polar and non-polar
solvents such as water, chloroform, and hexane. With higher alkanes (starting with octane),
acetic acid is not completely miscible anymore, and its miscibility continues to decline with
longer n-alkanes. This dissolving property and miscibility of acetic acid makes it a widely used
industrial chemical, for example, as a solvent in the production of dimethyl
terephthalate.Although it is classified as a weak acid, concentrated acetic acid is corrosive and
can attack the skin.

Methanol, CH3OH:
Methanol, also known as methyl alcohol,wood alcohol, wood naphtha or wood spirits. It is
the simplest alcohol, and is a light, volatile, colorless, flammable liquid with a pleasant smell . It
is highly toxic and unfit for consumption. At room temperature, it is a polar liquid, and is used as
an antifreeze, solvent, fuel, and as a denaturant for ethanol.

Process Selection
Methane to Methanol conversion process
Catalytic Conversion
Features:
 Conversion of methane to methanol with an economic yield of 10%
 In most experiments with solid catalysts, selectivities to methanol fell rapidly as methane
conversions exceeded 59%
 complete oxidation of methane to carbon dioxide (ΔH = -877 kJ/mol) is highly favored
over partial oxidation of methane to methanol (ΔH = -200 kJ/mol)
 A noticeable progress, however, has been made in the field of molecular catalysis by
Periana et al., who demonstrated the selective conversion of methane to methanol at
temperatures around 473 K over platinum bipyrimidine complexes. According to their
experiment, 81% selectivity to methyl bisulfate, a methanol derivative, was reached at
methane conversion of 90% in concentrated sulfuric acid
 Although these results are promising, commercial applications are hampered by difficult
separation and recycling of the molecular catalyst.
Thermal Cracking
 Methane is converted to methanol by partial oxidation to hydrogen gas and carbon
monoxide (synthesis gas or syngas) at high temperatures normally several hundred
degrees celsius
 Syngas is then catalytically converted to methanol over a copper or platinum surface, also
at a couple hundred degrees Celsius
 It is only around five or ten percent efficient due to accidental total oxidation to carbon
dioxide and water.
Photo-Catalytic Conversion
 Ultraviolet light breaks water into a hydrogen and hydroxyl free radical, which are highly
reactive. When a hydroxyl radical reacts with a methane molecule, a hydrogen is
displaced and methanol is produced.
 With the use of tungsten oxide or a similar semiconductor, photons of lower energy than
ultraviolet (down to blue) can be used.
 Using Of WO₃ as photo-catalyst visible laser light can be used in room temperature
 It is highly energy inefficient (only 2-3% efficiency)
 The process is not out in commercial production yet
Biological conversion
 Conversion combines both methane and ammonia streams using methane-oxidizing
bacteria and ammonia-oxidizing bacteria, in both wild type and genetically modified
forms
 Can convert heterogeneous methane feedstocks, unlike existing commercial process
 Does not require a pure source of methane
 It does not require expensive chemical catalysts
 Cleanup and dehumidification processes not required
 Widely applicable to digester gas, landfill gas, peatbogs, marshes, and wastewater
treatment facilities
 Conversion process is time consuming
ICI process
 Catalyst: Copper-Zinc oxide catalyst
 Temperature: 200-30000
C
 Pressure: 5-10 MPa
 Activity of this catalyst is more sensitive to impurities (poisoning)
 Reduced manufacturing costs.
Methanol to Acetic acid
Cativa Process
 Process developer: BP chemicals
 Catalyst: Iridium/iodide catalyst
 Improved catalyst stability
 Allowing operation at low water concentrations
 High reaction rates
 Reduced formation of liquid by-products
 Improved yield on carbon monoxide
 Temperature:
 Pressure:
Monsanto process
 Process developer: Monsanto
 Temperature: 150-2000
C
 Pressure: 30-60 bar
 Catalyst: rhodium/iodide catalyst
 Selectivity: 99%
 To prevent rhodium loss the reactor composition is maintained within limits on water,
methyl acetate, methyl iodide and rhodium concentrations
 High H2O concentrations to prevent catalyst precipitation and maintain high reaction
rates
BASF process
 Catalyst: cobalt /iodide catalyst
 Temperature: 2500
C
 Pressure: 680 bar
 Selectivity: 90% (based upon methanol)

Process Selection Methane to Methanol conversion process Catalytic Conversion Features:  Conversion of methane to methanol with an economic yield of 10%  In most experiments with solid catalysts, selectivities to methanol fell rapidly as methane conversions exceeded 59%  complete oxidation of methane to carbon dioxide (ΔH = -877 kJ/mol) is highly favored over partial oxidation of methane to methanol (ΔH = -200 kJ/mol)  A noticeable progress, however, has been made in the field of molecular catalysis by Periana et al., who demonstrated the selective conversion of methane to methanol at temperatures around 473 K over platinum bipyrimidine complexes. According to their experiment, 81% selectivity to methyl bisulfate, a methanol derivative, was reached at methane conversion of 90% in concentrated sulfuric acid  Although these results are promising, commercial applications are hampered by difficult separation and recycling of the molecular catalyst. Thermal Cracking  Methane is converted to methanol by partial oxidation to hydrogen gas and carbon monoxide (synthesis gas or syngas) at high temperatures normally several hundred degrees celsius  Syngas is then catalytically converted to methanol over a copper or platinum surface, also at a couple hundred degrees Celsius  It is only around five or ten percent efficient due to accidental total oxidation to carbon dioxide and water. Photo-Catalytic Conversion  Ultraviolet light breaks water into a hydrogen and hydroxyl free radical, which are highly reactive. When a hydroxyl radical reacts with a methane molecule, a hydrogen is displaced and methanol is produced.
