    The document describes a process involving the separation of butane and production of maleic anhydride. It involves mixing air and butane in a reactor, separating the output into pure n-butane and maleic anhydride using a column, and recycling the off-gas. Mass and molar flow rates are provided for several streams involved in this chemical process.
