Raw Material for Methyl Isopropyl Ketone Production

According to the Methyl Isopropyl Ketone manufacturing plant project report, the key raw materials used in the production of Methyl Isopropyl Ketone include Acetaldehyde-Isobutyraldehyde-(Manganese oxide-aluminium oxide).

Manufacturing Process of Methyl Isopropyl Ketone

The extensive Methyl Isopropyl Ketone production cost report consists of the following major industrial manufacturing processes:

• From Acetaldehyde, Isobutyraldehyde, and Manganese Oxide-Aluminium Oxide: The manufacturing of Methyl Isopropyl Ketone involves a catalytic reaction between isobutyraldehyde and acetaldehyde. The process starts with an acetaldehyde reaction with isobutyraldehyde in the presence of a catalyst. Manganese oxide-aluminium oxide works as a catalyst, and the reaction takes place at 450 °C, forming Methyl Isopropyl Ketone.

Methyl Isopropyl Ketone is an alkyl ketone with a chemical formula C5H10O. Its molecular weight is 86.13 g/mol, and it appears as a clear liquid with a strong characteristic odor. It is a flammable liquid and can be toxic on inhalation and affect the skin and eyes on exposure. Its melting and boiling point is measured at approximately -92 °C and 95 °C, respectively, with a flash point measuring 6 °C. It is poorly soluble in water and can be dissolved in different organic solvents. It is miscible in ethyl ether and alcohols, including ethanol. Similarly, it is highly soluble in acetone and can be dissolved in carbon tetrachloride. Its density is 0.805 g/mL at a standard condition of 25 °C. It decomposes when heated at an elevated temperature and releases irritating fumes in the air.
