Process Summary
LCI design

Epichlorohydrin is formed from allyl chloride through a series of reactions and


separations. Vaporized allyl chloride is mixed with dilute hypochlorous acid in the
hypochlorination reactor at 1 atm and 55 oC to produce glycerol dichlorohydrin (93% of
reactor input). The output from the reactor is fed to a series of separators to isolate the
glycerol dichlorohydrin, to recover the allyl chloride for recycle back to the reactor, and
to remove the unreacted acid-water solution. The unreacted water solution is sent to the
acid treatment center, where it is neutralized with calcium hydroxide and sewered.
The glycerol dichlorohydrin is mixed with a calcium hydroxide slurry in the
prehydrolysis mix tank and then sent to the hydrolysis reactor. The reactor operates at
100 oC and 1 atm and produces epichlorohydrin (92% conversion). The reactor bottoms
is a waste slurry of calcium chloride. The tops are gaseous epichlorohydrin, unreacted
glycerol dichlorohydrin, organic by-products and some water vapor. These are removed
from the top of the reactor and separated in a series of distillation columns. The glycerol
dichlorohydrin is recycled back to the prehydrolysis mix tank, and the organic byproducts exit the system in a waste stream.
The epichlorohydrin recovered at this point has an azeotrope with water. This azeotrope
is broken by adding acetic acid, which forms a new, lower-boiling azeotrope with the
water. The mixture is separated in a distillation column operated 100 oC and 1 atm. The
acetic acid-water mixture is sent to the acid treatment center for neutralizing and
sewering. The epichlorohydrin is run through a final distillation column at 100 oC and 1
atm to remove a small amount of organic contaminants, producing 1000 kilograms per
hour of 97 % pure epichlorohydrin.

Process Diagram Interpretation Sheet

1) As much as possible, standard symbols are used for all unit processes.
2) Only overall input and output chemicals are labeled on these diagrams. All intermediate information is
given on the attached Process Mass Balance sheet
3) The physical state of most streams is shown (gas, g; liquid, l; solid, s)
4) The process numbering is as follows,
generally numbers progress from the start to the end of the process
numbers are used for process streams
C i , i = 1,..n are used for all cooling non-contact streams
S j, j = 1,...n are used for all steam heating non-contact streams
5) Recycle streams are shown with dotted lines
For most streams, the temperature and pressure are shown, if the pressures are greater than 1 atm
