Integrated process for the production of partial oxidation product derivatives

An integrated process for the production of one or more acetylene derivatives, the process comprising:

• a) partially oxidizing a hydrocarbon feedstock comprising 10.0 wt. % or more of one or more C1-C4 alkanes to produce a partial oxidation mixture comprising H2, CO, and acetylene,
• b) providing at least a portion of the H2 and CO of the partial oxidation mixture to a collocated methanol production process to produce a methanol-containing effluent;
• c) providing at least a portion of the methanol-containing effluent to a collocated carbonylation process to produce an acetic acid-containing effluent;
• and
• d) providing at least a portion of the acetylene of the partial oxidation mixture and at least a portion of the acetic acid-containing effluent to one or more collocated acetylene-derivative processes following:
• i) a vinyl acetate monomer production process;
• ii) an oxidation unit for the production of formaldehyde from the methanol-containing effluent;
• iii) a vinyl chloride monomer production process, and/or
• iv) a 1,4-butanediol production process.
