Acetyl Oxide Production Cost Reports

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

Acetyl Oxide (C4H6O3) is a liquid chemical produced when anhydrous sodium acetate is reacted with acetyl chloride. The reaction has to be chilled with water, so boiling of the reactants is avoided. The obtained crude product is mixed with sodium acetate and fractionated with a fractionating column collecting a fraction at 135° C to 140 ° C to get the final product.

The chemical appears to be colourless and transparent with a strong sour taste, which is a tear gas when vapourised. It is miscible in chloroform, ether, and benzene. It is water-soluble and mixed with water to make acetic acid. It is highly flammable, and its vapour and air can be explosive.

Its molecular weight is 102.09, and its density is 1.087. Its melting, boiling, and flash point is -73.1 °C, 140 °C, and 130°F. It has a very strong, pungent and vinegar-like characteristic odour. Its adverse properties include being corrosive, flammable, irritating, and can cause human burns. In addition, inhalation can cause irritation, Cough, chest pain, and Dyspnea.

The demand for Acetyl Oxide is being driven by the increasing use of the product in producing cellulose acetate, non-flammable film, and cellulose acetate paint. It also finds use as a potent acetic acid acyl agent, sulfonated and nitrated dehydrating agent. Also, it has applications in organic synthesis, dyes, as well as the pharmaceutical industry, which propels its market further. It is also used to manufacture acetyl compounds.
