Resumen de Organic Process Technology Valuation:: Cyclohexanone Oxime Syntheses

Kevin C. Cannon, Maureen P. Breen

• Three contemporary processes for cyclohexanone oxime synthesis are evaluated in a case study. The case study introduces organic chemistry students to basic cost accounting to determine the most economical technology. Technical and financial aspects of these processes are evaluated with problem-based exercises that may be completed by students either individually or more effectively in groups.
