Patent number: 6013825Abstract: The present invention is a process for producing an unsaturated nitrile such as acrylonitrile or methacrylonitrile by ammoxidation of an organic compound such as propylene, isobutene or tertiary butanol. The process comprises carrying out the ammoxidation such that the organic acid/unreacted ammonia ratio in an ammoxidation product gas is controlled to remain within the range from 0.8 to 3.0 inclusive in a reactor, introducing the ammoxidation product gas into a quench tower, and reacting in the tower the unreacted ammonia with the organic acid produced in a reactor, to fix the unreacted ammonia as an ammonium salt of the organic acid.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 1997Date of Patent: January 11, 2000Assignee: Asahi Kasei Kogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Ken Someya, Hideo Midorikawa
