What are the impurities present in the acrylonitrile column in the manufacture of acrylonitrile from propylene-ammonia-air oxidation process? Correct Answer Saturated carboxylic cyanohydrin

Impurities in the final acrylonitrile column which give trouble are saturated carboxylic cyanohydrins (HO-R-CN). These dissociate to form volatile contaminants.
