The adiabatic nitration concept originated with American Cyanamid, who started up the first of two adiabatic mononitrobenzene (MNB) plants in the USA in 1979. At that time, the MNB production in the USA was 430 thousand MTPY and the global production was about one million MTPY. MNB is mostly converted to aniline, then to methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (MDI). In 1988, NORAM Engineering and Constructors was founded and developed a second-generation adiabatic MNB process. Since then, the global production of MNB has reached 12.5 million MTPY in 2020, with NORAM becoming the dominant technology provider with eighteen MNB plants in operation, accounting for over half of the global production. Four of the top five MDI producers operate multiple NORAM plants. In the NORAM MNB process, a large volume of sulfuric acid is circulated through the nitration loop to generate the reactive nitronium ion, to act as the dehydration agent, and to absorb the large heat of nitration without cooling. The sulfuric acid together with nitric acid and benzene are fed into the vertical plug flow nitrator, which uses high shear jet impingement mixing elements to generate interfacial area where the nitration reaction takes place. NORAM's plug flow nitrator inherently produces less byproducts than the continuously stirred tank reactors used in the original adiabatic process. The MNB and spent acid are separated by gravity, with the MNB continuing to product purification, and the spent acid being reconcentrated, and recycled to nitration, by flashing under vacuum. The crude MNB, containing stoichiometric excess benzene, nitrophenol byproducts, degradation products, and some other impurities, is purified to meet the MNB quality specifications. Effluents and vents are also treated to recover value products and to meet environmental standards. These unit operations account for the majority of the equipment in an MNB plant, and many of the decisions on which unit operations to implement are client and/or site specific. This chapter will discuss in detail the NORAM nitration process and present a review of various process steps and alternatives.
