It is also utilized as a food additive and used for acne treatments to peel off dry skin. It is used in the manufacture of drugs, fibers, and other chemicals. It is used as the main ingredient in nail polish removers. In textiles, it finds use for degreasing wool and degumming silk. In solvent systems, it is usually mixed to make lacquers used in furniture finishes and automotive uses. In the pharmaceutical industry, it is used as a solvent and a denaturant in denatured alcohols.
The market for Acetone is driven by its application as a solvent in the production of automotive components and coatings, coupled with the expansion of the automotive sector, which elevates its demand in the automotive industry. Its function as an important solvent in the pharmaceutical industry for drug formulation and in the cosmetic industry for products like nail polish removers and skin creams, coupled with the rising focus on health and beauty products, boot its market expansion in the pharmaceutical and cosmetics industries.
Its utilization as a cleaning and degreasing agent makes it useful across various industries, such as textiles, electronics, and oil spill cleanup, which also supports its market growth. Its role as an important intermediate in the production of chemicals, such as methyl methacrylate and bisphenol A, promotes its demand in the chemical manufacturing sector. Additionally, the cost and availability of its raw materials, such as propylene, benzene, and isopropanol, that are required for the production of the chemical, further impact industrial Acetone procurement.
Raw Material for Acetone (Propanone) Production
According to the Acetone (Propanone) manufacturing plant project report, the key raw materials used in the production of Acetone (Propanone) include propylene; propylene-benzene; isopropanol.
Manufacturing Process of Acetone (Propanone)
The extensive Acetone (Propanone) production cost report consists of the following major industrial manufacturing processes:
- Production via direct oxidation of propylene: The manufacturing process of Acetone occurs via the direct gas-phase oxidation of propylene in the presence of O2 as the oxidizing agent with Au-supported TS-1 catalyst (Au/TS-1) to produce Acetone.
- Production via indirect oxidation of propylene: The production process of Acetone occurs via a two-step mechanism. Firstly, propylene is hydrated to form isopropyl alcohol, which is further subjected to oxidative dehydrogenation in the presence of air to produce Acetone as the final product. The reaction takes place at 130 °C in the presence of a SnO2-MoO3 catalyst.
- Production from propylene and benzene: The manufacturing process of Acetone occurs via the cumene process. In this process, benzene is alkylated with propylene to form cumene. Cumene is oxidized in the presence of air to produce Acetone as the final product and phenol as the byproduct.
- Production from isopropanol: The production process of Acetone occurs from isopropyl alcohol (IPA). The process involves feeding IPA and water through heat exchangers into a plug flow reactor (PFR), where the endothermic dehydrogenation of IPA occurs to form Acetone and hydrogen. The reactor effluent is sent to a separator, where hydrogen is removed as a byproduct. The remaining mixture of organics and water is purified in a distillation column to produce Acetone with 99.9 wt% purity.
Acetone or Propanone (C3H6O) is a liquid chemical that is the smallest and the simplest Ketone. It comprises three carbon atoms, six hydrogen atoms, and one oxygen atom. It is industrially produced, however is available naturally present in the environment in trees, plants, forest fires, and volcanic gases, as well as the byproduct of body fat breakdown. It is also found in tobacco smoke, vehicle exhaust, and landfill sites.
The chemical is colorless, flammable, and a volatile liquid with a uniquely pungent and irritating odor and taste. It evaporates with ease and dissolves in water. It's less dense than water, with vapors heavier than air. It is highly miscible in water, ethanol, ether, etc. Its freezing, boiling, and flash points are −94.7 °C, 56.05 °C, and −20 °C, respectively. Its molecular mass and density are 58.08 g/mol and 0.7845 g/cm3 (25 °C), respectively.
