Acrylic acid is an essential bulk chemical commodity used for the production of resins, coatings, adhesives, textile, detergents and other consumer products. It is currently manufactured on the commercial using fossil fuel-based routes, in particular from the oxidation of propylene, the latter being a major product of the naphtha and oil cracking process. The global market of acrylic acid is currently growing of 3-5% annually and the UK is responsible of consuming > 25 ktons/y with no local production capacity thus totally relying on imports from EU and Asia. On the other hand, glycerol is an abundant and cheap feedstock with yearly production of 58 tons/y between UK and Ireland.In order to reach the much sought-after goal of a carbon neutral society, the chemical industry must evolve and shift the focus on new and sustainable routes that are still able to meet current demands of key chemicals, such as acrylic acid, but with significant reduction of detrimental effects on the environment.In this context, the main goal of the SPACING project is the demonstration and scale-up of a new process for acrylic acid manufacturing using waste glycerol. This project comprises three interlinked work packages (WPs):- WP1 will involve the design, testing and characterisation of new bi-functional catalytic materials, stability test and kinetic studies, including the scale-up to 200 grams for the subsequent tests.- WP2 will focus on the development and testing of the new integrated fluidised membrane reactor. Both new experimental demonstration and long-term testing under different reactive conditions will be carried out including the benchmark and comparison of different reactor configurations. The experimental results will be used to validate the reactor model. The knowledge gained both from the experimental and numerical activities will be used as guidance for future pilot-scale demonstration of the technology.- In WP3, the SPACING process will be integrated into the acrylic acid process including feedstock pre-treatment and downstream product separation and refining. The techno-economic and environment performance of the process will be compared with commercial state-of-the-art technologies for acrylic acid manufacturing.

丙烯酸是一种用于生产树脂、涂料、粘合剂、纺织品、洗涤剂和其他消费品的基本大宗化学品。目前在商业上使用基于化石燃料的路线生产，特别是通过丙烯的氧化，后者是石脑油和石油裂解过程的主要产物。目前全球丙烯酸市场正以每年3-5%的速度增长，而英国的年消费量仅为25000吨，没有本地产能，完全依赖从欧盟和亚洲进口。另一方面，甘油是一种丰富而廉价的原料，在英国和爱尔兰之间年产量为58吨/年。为了实现备受追捧的碳中和社会目标，化学工业必须发展并将重点转移到新的和可持续的路线上，这些路线仍然能够满足当前对丙烯酸等关键化学品的需求，但对环境的有害影响显著减少。在这种情况下，SPACE项目的主要目标是示范和扩大利用废甘油生产丙烯酸的新工艺。这个项目包括三个相互关联的工作包(WPS)：-WP1将涉及新的双功能催化材料的设计、测试和表征、稳定性测试和动力学研究，包括为随后的测试扩大到200克的规模。-WP2将专注于新的集成流态化膜反应器的开发和测试。将进行新的实验演示和不同反应条件下的长期测试，包括不同反应堆配置的基准和比较。实验结果将用于验证反应器模型。从实验和数值活动中获得的知识将作为该技术未来中试规模演示的指导。-在WP3中，间隔过程将被整合到丙烯酸工艺中，包括原料前处理和下游产品分离和精炼。该工艺的技术经济和环境性能将与商业最先进的丙烯酸制造技术进行比较。
