3-Hydroxypropanoic Acid Production Cost Reports

3-Hydroxypropanoic Acid production cost report provides a comprehensive analysis and know-how for setting up a 3-Hydroxypropanoic Acid production plant. The study covers all the requisite aspects that one needs to know for the production of 3-Hydroxypropanoic Acid. This includes manufacturing processes, raw material requirements, utility requirements, infrastructure requirements, machinery and technology requirements, manpower requirements, packaging requirements, transportation requirements, etc.

3-Hydroxypropanoic acid (3-HP) with the chemical formula C3H6O3 is a useful platform chemical. It is produced using several renewable resources and is derived from propionic acid. It is a dihydroxy monocarboxylic acid that is 3-Hydroxypropanoic acid substituted by a 3-Hydroxyphenyl group at position 3. It is a carboxylic acid, specifically a beta-hydroxy acid.

It has the role of a human urinary metabolite, Escherichia coli metabolite, and it is a member of the phenols and a dihydroxy monocarboxylic acid. It is a very acidic and viscous liquid with a pKa of 4.5. It is readily dissolved in liquids like water, diethyl ether, and ethanol.

The market for 3-HP is witnessing an enormous growth due to its use as a precursor in the industrial production of a wide range of chemicals like acrylic acid and its many derivatives (esters and their polymers). In its polymerized form, it finds application in the production of bioplastic which furthers its market demand. Also, the growing focus on developing microbial cell factories to produce 3-Hydroxypropanoic acid (3-HP) is propelling the market expansion.
