Ammoxidation of mixture of alcohols to mixture of nitriles to acetonitrile and HCN

A process for increasing the yield of one or both co-products HCN and acetonitrile produced during the manufacture of acrylonitrile comprising introducing a hydrocarbon selected from the group consisting of propylene and propane, a mixture comprising one or more alcohols selected from crude methanol, crude ethanol or crude propanol, ammonia and air into a reaction zone containing an ammoxidation catalyst, reacting the hydrocarbon, alcohol, ammonia and oxygen over said catalyst at an elevated temperature to produce acrylonitrile, hydrogen cyanide and acetonitrile, and recovering the acrylonitrile, hydrogen cyanide and acetonitrile from the reactor. 一种在生产丙烯腈中提高产生的一种或两种共产品HCN和乙腈产率的方法，包括将选自丙烯和丙烷的烃、含有一种或多种选自粗甲醇、粗乙醇或粗丙醇的醇的混合物、氨及空气引入到含有氨氧化催化剂的反应区，使烃、醇、氨和氧在所述的催化剂上高温下反应以生产丙烯腈、HCN和乙腈，从反应器中回收丙烯腈、HCN和乙腈。
