These encompass manufacturing processes, raw material requirements, utility requirements, infrastructure needs, machinery and technology requirements, manpower requirements, packaging requirements, transportation requirements, and more.
Butanol (ethyl alcohol) is an alcohol which is primarily used as a solvent, chemical intermediate and extractants in pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries. It is also used as a solvent in various chemical and textile production processes, in organic synthesis, as a paint thinner and solvent in coating applications since it evaporates slowly in lacquers and ambient-cured enamels. It can be used in most gasoline engines in place of gasoline and requires no modifications. Furthermore, it is used as a fundamental bulk chemical extensively used as a precursor in organic synthesis and food industry solvents, as well as in various chemical processes.
The primary driver of the Butanol market is the growing demand for this commodity as it is an essential component used in the manufacturing of chemical and pharmaceutical products. Due to its versatility as an extractant, solvent, and chemical intermediate, Butanol is a valued raw ingredient in many different sectors, including the chemical, cosmetic, textile, and pharmaceutical. Butanol finds its extensive application as a solvent in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries, and experiences significant driving factor from this sector. Industrial butanol procurement is greatly influenced by its necessity as a key component for the paint and coating, fuel, cosmetics, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries.
Additionally, it finds application as a hydraulic and brake fluid component as well as a base for perfumes, and its other properties, like increased energy security and lower emissions, enhance its market expansion even more. Moreover, the availability and cost of production of Butanol’s raw materials, Butanol market prices, storage and handling requirements, transportation and logistics, quality and purity of Butanol, environmental impact and sustainability practices, etc. The global procurement of this commodity is greatly influenced by its necessity as a key component for the paint and coating, fuel, cosmetics, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries.
Raw Material for Butanol Production
According to the Butanol manufacturing plant project report, the major raw materials for Butanol production include Propylene-Syngas; Propene; Ethanol; Butyraldehyde-Hydrogen.
Manufacturing Process of Butanol
The extensive Butanol production cost report consists of this major industrial manufacturing process:
- Production from Propylene and Syngas: The process begins with an oxo-reaction in which propylene and syngas reacts in the presence of a catalyst to form n and iso-butyraldehyde. Iso-butyraldehyde is separated as a by-product, while hydrogenation of n-butyraldehyde takes place to obtain Butanol as the final product.
- Production from Propene via Hydroformylation: In this production process hydroformylation of propene gives butanal which is reduced to obtain Butanol as a product.
- Production from Ethanol via the Guerbet reaction: This process involves the production of Butanol using ethanol via Guerbet reaction. The reaction commences by the dimerization of ethanol which produces Butanol as a product.
- Production from Butyraldehyde via Hydrogenation: The process involves the hydrogenation process in which butyraldehyde reacts with hydrogen to obtain Butanol.
Butanol, or butyl alcohol, is a four-carbon alcohol having five isomeric structures. It can be made using algae or diatoms only employing a solar-powered biorefinery. It has four isomeric structures, n-Butanol, 2-Butanol, iso-Butanol, and tet-Butanol. Butanol is a C4 alcohol with molecular formula C4H9OH and has a calorific value of 29.2 MJ/dm3, and it has a low heat of vaporization (0.43 MJ/kg) and lower Reid vapour pressure. Butanol is immiscible in water and has a higher energy content. Also, it is less corrosive in comparison to ethanol.
Its energy density is like that of gasoline and greater than ethanol and methanol. It is less hygroscopic and corrosive than ethanol which makes it easily transportable in pipelines which should be transported in trucks or barges. It appears to be a colourless liquid with medium volatility and has a smell like a banana. The solvent is also flammable and has a flashpoint of around 35° C. Its Molecular Mass is 74.12, and its boiling, and melting point is 117 °C (242.6 °F) and -90 °C (-130 °F).
