It is a versatile solvent with an excellent reactivity as a chemical intermediate and on account of this tremendous reactivity, 2-EH is widely used in the industry as a feedstock for manufacturing plasticizers, 2-EH acrylate and 2-EH nitrate. It is also used as dispersing agent for pigment pastes. The consumption trends of 2-EH have changed considerably in the recent years, which is majorly due to the restriction imposed by various regulatory bodies on the use of phthalate plasticizers. The market has picked up the pace due to strong growth shown by 2-EH acrylate industry due to budding construction industry. Also, the use of 2-EH nitrate as a cetane improver has contributed significantly in the demand growth of 2-EH. 3.2 VALUE CHAIN ANALYSIS The 2-EH value chain starts with crude oil by-product and moves all the way to end-users through manufacturing and distribution processes.

  • Oxo Alcohols Market.Pdf
    Oxo Alcohols Market – Business Opportunities, Key-players Analysis and Forecast to 2020 Oxo alcohols are prepared from a two-step process. First step is to convert olefins to alcohols by reaction with syn gas (carbon monoxide & hydrogen) followed by hydrogenation of the resultant aldehyde. In the first step, hydroformylation reaction is carried out under low pressure in the presence of rhodium catalyst (LP Oxo process). For example, ethylene may be hydro formulated to produce normal-butyraldehyde and iso-butyraldehyde which are hydrogenated to produce n-butanol and isobutanol. Browse detailed TOC, Tables, Figures, Charts and Companies mentioned in Oxo alcohols market research report at- http://www.absolutereports.com/10165437 The major applications of Oxo alcohols are plasticizers, paints, coatings & adhesives, lubricant additives, and chemical intermediates. Asia-Pacific is the global leader in the consumption of Oxo alcohols and this dominance is expected to continue till 2020. China is the key market in the region, consuming more than half of the demand for Oxo alcohols, followed by Japan, South Korea, and India, where consumption is growing steadily. Increase in the consumption of Oxo alcohol for air conditioning & refrigeration, chemical processing, transportation, and consumer goods industry has been observed in Asia-Pacific due to continued industrialization and rise in the manufacturing sector of the region. Growing innovation and developments in the Oxo alcohol consumer industries are directly affecting the rise in the use of Oxo alcohols. Request for sample PDF of Oxo alcohols market research report at- http://www.absolutereports.com/enquiry/request-sample/10165437 The Oxo alcohols market is very competitive due to the presence of big players in the business, which inhibits the new entrants and local manufacturers to capture a good share at global level.

  • 1.1. Introduction the Reaction Between Olefinic Double Bond and a Mixture
    Chapter-1 Hydroformylation of alkenes 1.1. Introduction The reaction between olefinic double bond and a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen leads to linear and branched aldehydes as primary products and is known as hydroformylation reaction. Aldehydes O H O (i) Catalyst R R + CO + H + 2 (ii) Pressure H R alkene (iii) Temperature linear (normal) branched (iso) side reactions R R alkene isomerization alkene hydrogenation Adkins [1] has introduced the term “hydroformylation” for this reaction, since there is attack of hydrogen and formyl group (–CHO) at the unsaturated center of the carbon chain of alkenes. This reaction is an ideal example of atom economic C-C bond formation since the product aldehyde is formed with an additional carbon atom than starting olefin. Although the primary products of hydroformylation reactions are aldehydes, the formation of other oxygen containing by-products [2] accompanied with the side-products such as alcohols, formic acid esters, and higher boiling residues is also observed. Other products namely oxo alcohol and carboxylic acid are formed by hydrogenation and oxidation respectively of the primary oxo products, the aldehydes. Otto Roelen discovered hydroformylation reaction in 1938 [3], during his work on increasing the chain-length of Fischer-Tropsch (FT) hydrocarbons. When a mixture of ethylene and syn-gas was passed over a fixed bed cobalt containing catalyst at 1500C and 100 bar pressure, Roelen’s could perceive, isolate and characterize the small amount of propanal (and diethyl ketone) that had formed under the unconventional F-T conditions. It was his scientific perceptions that made him possible to link the formation of propanal from ethylene and syn-gas, which was catalyzed by metal-carbonyl formed the F-T reaction conditions.

  • New Branched Oxo Alcohol Based Acrylates for Pressure Sensitive Adhesive Applications
    New Branched Oxo Alcohol Based Acrylates for Pressure Sensitive Adhesive Applications Chunzhao Li, Donald Mattran, ExxonMobil Chemical Company, Baytown, TX Bernard Leroy, Levi Salaets, Silvio Carrettin, Geert Steenbeke, ExxonMobil Chemical Company, Machelen, Belgium Frank Chen, ExxonMobil Chemical Company, Shanghai, China Xinxin Sheng, Guangdong University of Technology, Guangzhou, China Xinya Zhang, South China University of Technology, Guangzhou, China Introduction Pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA) designates a type of polymeric material that when dried, is aggressively and permanently tacky at room temperature. A PSA will firmly adhere to a variety of similar or dissimilar surfaces upon mere contact with no more than finger pressure. Acrylic PSAs can be either solventborne, waterborne emulsion or the more recent 100% solids UV curable hot melt. Pressure sensitive adhesive compositions are useful for a wide variety of applications such as labels, tapes, decals, decorative and protective sheets, medical and other specialty areas. Three properties critical to PSAs are tack, peel (adhesion) and shear strength (cohesion). To achieve desired performance, acrylic PSAs are produced using a combination of monomers. The monomer mixture typically includes one or more soft monomers such as butyl acrylate (BA) or 2- ethyl hexyl acrylate (2-EHA), to impart good tack and deformability, and one or more hard monomers such as methyl methacrylate, styrene or vinyl acetate, to provide the cohesive strength. Small amounts of functional monomers such as acrylic acid (AA) or methacrylic acid (MAA) and 2-hydroxyethyl acrylate, are also typically used to provide crosslinking points and improve adhesion characteristics to highly polar substrates. Adhesive properties are affected by a number of factors such as polymer compositions, molecular weight, glass transition temperature (Tg), morphology, gel content and formulations which may incorporate plasticizer, tackifiers or crosslinkers.

  • 2. Project Design Basic
    Mitsubishi Chemical Oxo Alcohol Technology 1. PROCESS FEATURE The characteristic and superiority of Mitsubishi Oxo Process are following points. (1) Very high quality of products The major derivatives of OXO alcohols are plasticizers and acrylates. From the quality point of view, not only the normal specifications but also small amounts of impurities are highlighted by our investigations. The small amounts of impurities are hardly able to be removed by easy distillation of alcohol. Typical advantage of Mitsubishi OXO Process is it provides super grade alcohol, containing negligible level of those impurities. Mitsubishi OXO Process is able to produce the highest grade alcohol in the world. This feature would be a great advantage for the user of Mitsubishi OXO Process. (2) High conversion efficiency Two steps reaction makes high propylene conversion. (3) Economical process Investment cost and energy consumption are low, because of lower reaction pressure and moderate reaction temperature, Plant utilizing Mitsubishi OXO Process needs less labor cost, because of simple process and stable operation. Particularly less management man-power is needed because the catalyst activity is stable and so management is not necessary. (4) Easy operation Simple process and adequate control system provides easy operation. Mitsubishi OXO Process has specially advanced OXO Reactor control system to stabilize the reaction rate and productivity. The selectivity, which is related to the product ratio of normal- and iso-Butyraldehyde, is also adjusted easily. (5) Catalyst recovery process Catalyst activity is stable and high, because of continuous operation of Heavy End Separation process and Catalyst Recovery process. Stable and high catalyst activity Copyright © 2014 Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation.

Hydroformylation is the reaction of an olefin with carbon monoxide and hydrogen to produce an aldehyde, and its subsequent hydrogenation to the alcohol.
