Raw Material for Isobutylamine Production

According to the Isobutylamine manufacturing plant project report, the major raw materials for Isobutylamine production include Isobutyl Alcohol-Ammonia.

Manufacturing Process of Isobutylamine

The extensive Isobutylamine production cost report consists of the following industrial manufacturing process:

• Production via Catalytic Amination: This method of production involves catalytic amination, in which isobutyl alcohol (2-methyl-1-propanol) is reacted with ammonia (NH3) in the presence of a metal oxide, such as alumina or silica-alumina as a catalyst at high temperatures ranging between 200°C and 400°C, and high pressure to obtain isobutylamine as the final product. In this method, the catalyst facilitates the dehydrogenation of isobutyl alcohol to form an intermediate aldehyde, which, in reaction with ammonia, gives isobutyl amine along with water as a by-product.

Isobutyl amine belongs to the class of alkylamine and has a role as a plant metabolite. It exists in the form of a clear, colorless liquid with a fish-like or amine odor. Moreover, the compound has the molecular formula C4H11N with a molecular weight of 73.14 g/mol. The IUPAC name of the compound is 2-methylpropan-1-amine, and its flash point is 15 °F. This chemical compound is highly flammable and it is highly soluble in alcohol, ether, and water. Additionally, the melting point of the compound is -121°F, and its boiling point is 154 to 156°F at 760 mmHg. Its density is o.739 g/cm3, and its autoignition temperature is 712°F. Isobutyl amine on heating releases toxic fumes of nitrogen oxides.
