Book excerpt: This report presents a cost analysis of Propylene Oxide (PO) production from chemical grade (CG) propylene and isobutane. The process examined is similar to LyondellBasell process. In this process, isobutane is oxidized to produce t-butyl hydroperoxide, which reacts with propylene to produce Propylene Oxide. t-Butanol is generated as by-product in the process. This report was developed based essentially on the following reference(s): (1) US Patent 5196597, issued to Arco Chemical Technology in 1993 (2) US Patent 3849451, issued to Halcon International in 1974 Keywords: Propene, Methylpropane, Oxidation, Epoxidation, TBHP, tert-Butyl Alcohol, TBA, PO/TBA
