Book excerpt: This report presents a cost analysis of Ester-Grade Acrylic Acid (EAA) production from crude glycerol The two-step process examined is similar to Arkema process. In this process, crude glycerol (at 85 wt% purity) obtained as by-product of biodiesel plants, is used as the main raw material. After purification, glycerol is dehydrated to acrolein and subsequently oxidized. 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): US Patent 2010/0168471 A1, issued to Arkema in 2010 Keywords: Glicerin, Dehydration, Oxidation, Unsaturated Carboxylic Acid, Propenoic Acid
