Pra Rancangan Pabrik Pembuatan Nitrometana dengan Bahan Baku Asam Nitrat dan Metana Kapasitas 50.000 Ton/Tahun
Pre-Design of a Nitromethane Production Plant using Nitric Acid and Methane Raw Materials with a Capacity of 50,000 Tons/Year
Abstract
Nitromethane is an organic compound with the chemical formula CH₃NO₂.
The production process uses a Pipe Flow Reactor (RAP) with Nitric Acid
and Methane as raw materials. The reaction is irreversible, with a molar ratio
of Nitric Acid to Methane of 2:1. Under these operating conditions, and
referring to existing journals and patents, the conversion value was 30.4%.
This reaction is exothermic, so a coolant is required to maintain the
temperature inside the reactor. The reactor output, CH4, C2H6, C3H8,
HNO3, CH3NO2, and H2O, is then fed to the quenching tower. The upper
output of the quenching tower is CH4, C2H6, C3H8, and H2O at a
temperature of 108°C and a pressure of 9.8 atm. The lower output, CH3NO2,
HNO3, and H2O, then enters the storage tank.
