Propylene oxide has major uses in different chemical product, with production of more than 6 million tons per year worldwide. The main goal of study is to compare the efficiency of the packed bed reactor and fluidized bed reactor for the production of propylene oxide. Currently two are applied for the production of propylene oxide first chlorohydrin process and second hydroperoxide process. For this study hydroperoxide process was used. It found that the conversion factor with respect catalysis loading and length of the tube found to be 100 % shown by packed bed reactor. By design and experiment it was found that packed bed reactor is more suitable as compared to fluidized bed reactor for production of propylene oxide.

Propylene oxide is a volatile, clear, colorless, and extremely flammable liquid with an ether-like odor (Creaser et al., 2000). Its molecular weight is 58.1, its melting point is C, and its boiling point is C. Propylene oxide has a specific gravity of at 20 C/20 C and an octanol-water partition coefficient of 0.03 (Sinha et al., 2003). It is soluble in water and miscible with acetone, benzene, carbon tetrachloride, diethyl ether, and ethanol. Propylene oxide is very reactive, particularly with chlorine, ammonia, strong oxidants, and acids. It may polymerize explosively when heated or involved in a fire (Buyevskaya et al., 2000). Propylene oxide is used primarily as a chemical intermediate in the production of polyurethane polyols (60% to 65%), propylene glycols (20% to 25%), glycol ethers (3% to 5%), and specialty chemicals (Greben et al., 2005). Polyurethane polyols are used to make polyurethane foams; whereas, propylene glycols are primarily used to make unsaturated polyester resins for the textile and construction industries (CEFIC, 2005). Propylene glycols are also used in drugs, cosmetics, solvents and emollients in food, plasticizers, heat transfer and hydraulic fluids, and antifreezes (Rihko-Struckmann et al., 2004). In 1 addition, propylene oxide may be used in fumigation chambers for the sterilization of packaged foods and as a pesticide. Approximately 70% of it is used as polypropylene glycol in the raw materials for urethane, and the remainder is used as propylene glycol in the raw materials for unsaturated polyesters, food product additives and cosmetics (Valbert et al., 1993). The major application of PO is shown in Fig. 1. PO production methods that have been industrialized up to this point can be roughly divided into two methodologies first chlorohydrins process and the second is hydroperoxide process. In 1999, the production capacity was distributed evenly between these two processes; however, because of the environmental impacts of the chlorohydrins process, the most recently built plants are all using hydroperoxide process technologies (Wang et al., 2004). However, a disadvantage of the hydroperoxide processes is the production, in a fixed ratio, of a coproduct (either styrene or tert-butyl alcohol, depending on which variant of the hydroperoxide process is applied) (Bartolome et al., 1975). Because these co-products are produced in a volume that is 3 times larger than that of propene oxide, the economy of the process is primarily dominated by the market of the co-product. A major research effort has been made in the development of alternative direct epoxidation
2 Sao and Sahu Comparative Study of Packed Bed Reactor and Fluidized Bed Reactor for the Production of Propylene Oxide processes for the production of propene oxide (Tullo, 2005). Due to lack of technical problem the production may be affected. In this study compared the efficiency of packed bed reactor with fluidized bed reactor for the production of propylene oxide. The effect of catalysis and length of tube was studied for packed bed reactor as well as cost estimation was also calculated. Fig. 1: Major application of propylene oxide 2. MATERIALS AND METHODS 2.1. Material Propylene oxide is an organic compound with the molecular formula CH 3 CHCH 2 O. Propylene oxide is a colourless, low-boiling, highly volatile liquid with a sweet, ether-like odour and moderately toxic. It is flammable and reactive, so storage and unloading areas must be specifically designed and monitored. This compound is sometimes called 1,2-propylene oxide to distinguish it from its isomer 1,3-propylene oxide, better known as oxetane. Its other common names are 1,2 Epoxypropane, Propene epoxide, Propene oxide. This colourless volatile liquid is produced on a large scale industrially, its major application being its use for the production of polyether polyols for use in making polyurethane plastics. It is chiral epoxide, although it commonly used as a racemic mixture (Trent, 2001) Methodology (Hydrogen peroxide) Propene oxide is currently produced using two different types of commercial processes: the 2 chlorohydrin process and the hydroperoxide process Hydroperoxide processes are based on the peroxidation of an alkane to an alkyl-hydroperoxide. These alkyl-hydroperoxides then react with propene, producing propene oxide and an alcohol. A characteristic of these processes is that, besides propene oxide, a coproduct is produced in a fixed ratio, usually 2-4 times the amount of propene oxide produced. Currently, two variants of this process are applied commercially. The first is the propene oxidestyrene monomer (PO-SM, also commonly abbreviated as SMPO) process (60% of the hydroperoxide plants use this version) (Pell and Korchak, 1969; Dubner and Cochran, 1993; Van and Sluis, 2003). In this process, ethylbenzene is oxidized to ethylbenzene hydroperoxide, which reacts with propene to produce propene oxide and R-phenyl ethanol. The R-phenyl ethanol is then dehydrated to produce styrene. The second process in use is the propene oxide-tert-butyl alcohol (PO-TBA) process. In this process, isobutane is oxidized to tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP), which reacts with propene to produce propene oxide and tert-butyl alcohol. This can be dehydrated to isobutene or converted directly with methanol to methyl-tert-butyl ether (MTBE).
3 International Journal of Scientific Research in Chemical Engineering, 1(1), pp. 1-8, 2014 Although other combination processes are possible, no others have been applied so far (Richey, 1994). Other possibilities include, for example, acetaldehyde to acetic acid, 2-propanol to acetone, isopentane (via tert-pentyl alcohol) to isoprene, cumene (via dimethylphenyl methanol) to R-methylstyrene, and cyclohexene (via cyclohexanol) to cyclohexanone (Kalich et al., 1993). Characteristics of the hydroperoxide processes are that they are selective and produce far less waste than the chlorohydrin process. However, the major disadvantage of the hydroperoxide processes is that a fixed amount of coproduct is always produced. Because the markets for propene oxide and the coproducts are not linked, a problem could arise, should the demand for one of the products collapse. Since the use of MTBE as a fuel additive is becoming less favorable, the latest plants that have been built using a hydroperoxide process are all of the PO-SM type (Hayashi et al., 1998). Figure 2 schematically demonstrates the PO-SM process. The basic principle of the PO-TBA process is similar to that of the PO-SM process, so both processes are discussed simultaneously (Cisneros et al., 1995). The first reactor converts the ethylbenzene or isobutene noncatalytically to its corresponding hydroperoxide by direct liquid-phase oxidation, using oxygen or air. The oxidation is usually performed in a bubble column at 400 K and 30 bar when isobutane is used, or 423 K and 2 bars in the case of ethylbenzene.

Almost 98 percentage of conversion was found to at 5.5kg of catalysis. Then it maintained constant for the conversion of long time (Diakov et al., 2002).

The conversion factor with respect catalysis loading and length of the tube found to be approximately 100 percentages. Packed bed reactor shows good efficiency at 550 numbers of tubes, 8.5 Atm pressure drops, 98% of conversion at 5.5 Kg catalysis and 90% conversion 18feet. The fixed bed reactor shows upto 80% conversion. The hydroperoxide processed will maintain a very important position as long as there is a high demand for their coproducts. Considering the huge market for styrene, especially, the PO-SM process will be in use for a long time. The new processes developed fulfilled the requirement. Improvements are being made continuously and new processes to replace the two existing processes are beginning to be applied. REFERENCE Bartolome E, Koehler W, Stoeckelman G, May A, (1975).
