SOHIOprosessi
SOHIOprosessi refers to a chemical process developed by the Standard Oil of Ohio (SOHIO), now a part of BP. This process is primarily known for the catalytic oxidation of propylene to acrylonitrile. Acrylonitrile is a crucial intermediate chemical used in the production of acrylic fibers, plastics like ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene), and synthetic rubber.
The SOHIO process, also known as ammoxidation, involves reacting propylene, ammonia, and air (oxygen) over a
This process revolutionized acrylonitrile production by offering a more efficient and cost-effective method compared to previous
