Procedure

Examples 1-6 are generated using ASPEN computer-aided process simulation software. Propane, nitric acid, and organic acid(s) react in a reactor to produce a product stream comprising nitroalkanes (nitromethane, 1-nitropropane, 2-nitropropane, 2,2-dinitropropane, nitroethane) and oxidation byproducts (acetic acid, propionic acid, butyric acid). The product stream also contains off-gases, such as nitrous oxide, nitric oxide, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, unconverted propane and water.
