Abstract

The invention relates to a method for thermally after-burning the waste gas flows developing during the production of acrolein in a gas phase process and for thermally after-burning the waste gas flows developing during the production of hydrocyanic acid in a gas phase process, characterized in that the waste gas flows from the production of acrolein and the waste gas flows from the production of hydrocyanic acid are supplied to a joint thermal after-burning process.

Claims (4)

1. A process for thermal afterburning, comprising forming an exhaust gas stream in the production of acrolein in a gas-phase process, wherein the exhaust gas stream arising in the production of acrolein in a gas-phase process comprises an exhaust gas stream from a process of gas-phase oxidation of propylene to acrolein, forming an exhaust gas stream in the production of prussic acid in a gas-phase process, wherein the exhaust gas stream arising in the production of prussic acid in a gas-phase process comprises an exhaust gas stream from an Andrussow process or from a BMA—prussic acid from methane and ammonia—process; feeding the exhaust gas stream from the production of acrolein and the exhaust gas stream from the production of prussic acid to a shared thermal afterburning; and burning the exhaust gas stream from the production of acrolein and the exhaust gas stream from the production of prussic acid in the shared thermal afterburning.

2. The process of claim 1 , wherein the production of acrolein and the production of prussic acid take place in parallel with respect to time, and the exhaust gas stream from the production of acrolein and the exhaust gas stream from the production of prussic acid arise in parallel with respect to time.

3. The process of claim 1 , wherein the production of acrolein and the production of prussic acid take place at one location, and the exhaust gas stream from the production of acrolein and the exhaust gas stream from the production of prussic acid arise at one location.

4. The process of claim 1 , wherein the shared thermal afterburning comprises an integrated process for chemical synthesis of methionine or methionine hydroxy analogue (MHA).
