PA is
produced under ATOCHEM licence.Phthalic
Anydride is produced by the
catalytic oxidation of air oxygen
and orthoxylene. Production is
carried out in three steps: a)
Oxidation: Orthoxylene and air react
in the fixed bed reactor. b)
Condensation: Outlet gases from the
reactor are cooled and Crude PA is
seperated. c) Distillation: Crude PA
is distilled to obtain commercial
grade PA..
Main Raw
