Book excerpt: This report presents a cost analysis of Ester-Grade Acrylic Acid (EAA) production from natural gas. The study examines an integrated plant in which natural gas is first converted to acetylene and the acetylene produced is converted to Acrylic Acid. In addition, synthesis gas obtained in the acetylene manufacture is used to produce methanol as by-product. This report was developed based essentially on the following reference(s): (1) "Acrylic Acid and Derivatives", Kirk-Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology, 5th edition (2) "Acetylene", Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry, 7th edition Keywords: Propenoic Acid, Reppe, BASF, Rohm and Haas
