ACRYLIC ACID PRODUCTION PLANT AND ACRYLIC ACID PRODUCTION METHOD

摘要

The purpose of the present invention is to provide an acrylic acid production plant in which acrylic acid can be produced using propylene obtained in a partial oxidation coupling reaction of methane. To achieve the foregoing, provided is an acrylic acid production plant 100 for producing acrylic acid from a natural gas that contains methane, the plant comprising: an OCM reaction apparatus 6 (a partial oxidation coupling reaction apparatus) for producing propylene by subjecting methane to a partial oxidation coupling reaction; and an acrylic acid production apparatus 8 for producing acrylic acid by oxidizing propylene that has been produced in the OCM reaction apparatus 6.
