A process for reduction of waste material during manufacture of acrylonitrile

TL;DR: In this paper, a process for reducing the amount of waste material generated during the manufacture of acrylonitrile is described, which involves introducing an additional amount of oxygen containing gas, preferably air, in the substantial absence of any oxygenate compounds, into the upper portion of the fluid bed reactor to react with at least some of the unreacted ammonia.

Process and catalyst for propylene ammoxidation to acrylonitrile

TL;DR: Olefins such as propylene and isobutylene are converted to the corresponding unsaturated nitriles, acrylonitrile, and methacrylnitrile by reacting a mixture of the olefin, ammonia, and molecular oxygen-containing gas in the presence of a catalyst containing the oxides of molybdenum, bismuth, iron, cobalt, nickel, and chromium, and either phosphorus or antimony or mixtures thereof.
