Book excerpt: This report presents a cost analysis of Ester-Grade Acrylic Acid (EAA) production from ethylene oxide using a carbonylation process. The process examined is similar to Novomer process. In this process, ethylene oxide is catalytic carbonylated to beta-propiolactone intermediate, which is then converted to Acrylic Acid. The final product obtained is EAA, which is used in the production of acrylic esters. This report was developed based essentially on the following reference(s): WO Patent 2013126375, issued to Novomer in 2013 Keywords: Propenoic Acid, Polypropiolactone, Carbon Monoxide, Acrylate Esters, Cornell Research Foundation, Celanese, Ketene
