Acetaldehyde Production Cost Reports

Acetaldehyde production cost report provides a comprehensive analysis and know-how for setting up a Acetaldehyde production plant. The study covers all the requisite aspects that one needs to know for the production of Acetaldehyde. This includes manufacturing processes, raw material requirements, utility requirements, infrastructure requirements, machinery and technology requirements, manpower requirements, packaging requirements, transportation requirements, etc.

Acetaldehyde or ethanal is a widely used chemical that occurs in nature and is found in several plants, vegetables, cheese, heated milk, ripe fruits, gasoline, diesel exhaust, and cigarette smoke.

Th chemical has a molecular formula of C2H4O or CH3CHO that appears to be colourless. It is a flammable liquid that has a pungent, suffocating smell. Its exposure can cause irritation in the eyes, respiratory tract and skin. It has a flash, boiling and a melting point of -36 °F, 69 °F and -123.5 °C. It has a density of 6.5 lb/gal with vapours heavier than air. It is miscible with gasoline, naphthalene, benzene, ether, xylene, alcohol, and turpentine. It is water-soluble.

The demand for Acetaldehyde is rapidly increasing owing to its usage in manufacturing products like acetic acid, flavouring agents, dyes, perfumes, and drugs. It is also used as an intermediate in the metabolism of alcohol. It is also used to make chemicals such as acetic acid and products like disinfectants, perfumes, and drugs.

It has a role as a human metabolite, a carcinogenic agent, an electron acceptor, a teratogenic agent, an oxidising agent, a mutagen, an Escherichia coli metabolite, a Saccharomyces cerevisiae metabolite, and a mouse metabolite that further its market demand. Other uses of the chemical propelling its demand forward are as a precursor to crotonaldehyde, pyridine derivatives, and pentaerythritol, in making resin, producing n-butyraldehyde, polyvinyl acetate, as a preservative for fruit and fish, a solvent in specific industrial processes like manufacturing paper, tanning, and rubber.
