Cellulose Acetate Production by Catalytic Reaction between Cellulose and Acetic Acid
Production Cost Report | Chemicals
Details: Germany - based plant Q1 2024 | From $ USD
This report proffers the thorough economics of cellulose acetate production by the catalytic reaction between cellulose and acetic acid. The synthesis of cellulose acetate begins by chemically reacting cellulose with a mixture of acetic acid and acetic anhydride in the presence of an acid catalyst. Here, sulfuric acid is used to catalyze the reaction, resulting in the production of cellulose acetate as the final product.
Top Producers of Cellulose Acetate
- Celanese Corporation
- Biosynth Carbosynth
- Cerdia International
- Daicel Corporation
- Chemos
Feedstocks for Cellulose Acetate
Cellulose acetate is mainly synthesized using acetic acid, cellulose, and acetic anhydride as the prime feedstocks. There are various factors that can influence the procurement of feedstocks in the chemical market. Factors including production rate, availability, and supply chain stability, along with demand from the downstream industries, play a major role in managing the market dynamics of the feedstocks market. Moreover, other factors, including government and trade policies, impact the logistics and transportation and directly influence the procurement and market prices of feedstocks used for cellulose acetate. Fluctuations observed in the market dynamics of the feedstocks directly influence the procurement of cellulose acetate on a large scale.
