Acetate Series Technology

Technology introduction
Acetates include ethyl acetate, acetaldehyde reduction, butyl acetate, amyl acetate and etc. As environmentally friendly solvent, they are widely used in areas such as solvents, monomers, plasticizer, surfactants and polymers.

The following introduction is the production process of various acetate:
 
Ethyl acetate introduction
There are four main ethyl acetate synthesis route:
Acetate process, acetaldehyde, alcohol ethanol dehydrogenation and ethylene addition. Condensation with acetaldehyde perishable raw materials not suitable for long-distance transport, it is only suitable for the area which is built in raw acetaldehyde material; the process of ethanol dehydrogenation process is suitable for promoting in the rich and cheap areas of ethanol; and ethylene addition is suitable for areas with ethylene resources. In comparison, the esterification is less restrictive and more suitable for small scale production.

Butyl acetate intrduction
Main production methods including n-butyl acetate-acetic acid esterification and butylene acetate method. In comparison, acetate-butene additive has simple process, lower cost of raw materials and friendly production process and environment. It has a large advantage but there is also a problem of high purity butene materials that are not cheap.

Propyl acetate and amyl acetate introduction
Propyl acetate and amyl acetate production is currently dominated by esterification.
