Acetic Anhydride Production Cost Reports

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

Acetic Anhydride (C4H6O3) is an acyclic carboxylic anhydride that is obtained using acetic acid. It has the function of a metabolite and a reagent. It is primarily used to make fibres, plastics, pharmaceuticals, dyes, and explosives. It is a natural product found in Vitis vinifera. It is an organic compound comprising hydrogens, carbons, and oxygens. It is made employing a reaction with the moisture in the air.

The chemical appears to be a clear, colourless liquid that has a strong vinegar-like odour. It has a flash point of 129 °F. It is corrosive to tissue as well as metals. Its molecular weight is 102.0888. Its density is 9.0 lb /gal. Its molar mass is 102.1 g/mol. Its melting and boiling point is −73.1 °C and 139.8 °C. It is around 2.6% soluble in water. It is fully miscible with diethyl ether and readily dissolves in the usual organic solvents. It also reacts with alcohol and is a great solvent for multiple organic and inorganic products.

The Acetic Anhydride demand is increasing rapidly owing to its wide usage as a reagent for synthesising several organic compounds. It is also included as a pharmaceutical ingredient in medicines like aspirin and acetaminophen, which furthers the market growth. Other pharmaceutical products that use the chemical include acetylcholine hydrochloride, sulfonamides, acetanilide, aceto-p-aminophenol, cortisone, acetophenacetin, theophylline, sulfa drugs, certain vitamins, and hormones, along with other pharmaceuticals and pharmaceutical intermediates.

Furthermore, it has the main advantage of its acetylation ability of cellulose properties tha are required for producing plastics, acetate fibres, films, and coatings, which is furthering the market growth. It also finds application as a wood preservative using autoclave impregnation to make the timber last longer, which furthers the market expansion.
