Process Economics Program Report 99
Published: Jun-76
This report deals with acrylamide and polyacrylamides. Acrylamide manufacture by sulfuric acid hydrolysis and by catalytic hydration is evaluated. Manufacturing processes for homopolymers and for copolymers having acrylamide as the main component, as well as processes for derivatives of such homopolymers and copolymers, are also evaluated.
Not included in the scope of this report are derivatives of acrylamide, and copolymers having acrylamide as a minor component.
The applications of acrylamide and polyacrylamides are especially complex. Hence a section is devoted to this topic.
Information relating to the properties of acrylamide and polyacrylamides is included in appendices.
The PEP report abstracts shown above are provided as a complete historical reference of related PEP reports. The production cost estimates are updated in the PEP Yearbook. Lists of all PEP reports and reviews are available here.
