Acetaldehyde Production Cost Analysis 2021
Acetaldehyde, better known by its systematic name, ethanal, is an example of an organic chemical compound. It is one of the most crucial aldehydes, occurring widely in nature that is also prepared on a large scale commercially. Acetaldehyde occurs naturally in coffee, bread, and ripe fruit. It is also prepared by the partial oxidation of ethanol by the liver enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase.
Conventionally, acetaldehyde was primarily utilised as a precursor to acetic acid. This application has declined because acetic acid is prepared more efficiently from methanol by the Monsanto and Cativa processes. However, acetaldehyde is still a crucial precursor to pyridine derivatives, pentaerythritol, and crotonaldehyde. Urea and acetaldehyde combine to give a useful resin. Acetic anhydride reacts with acetaldehyde to give ethylidene diacetate, which is a precursor to vinyl acetate, that is used to prepared polyvinyl acetate.
Procurement Resource provides an in-depth cost analysis of Acetaldehyde production. The report incorporates the manufacturing process with detailed process and material flow, capital investment, operating costs along with financial expenses and depreciation charges. The study is based on the latest prices and other economic data available. We also offer additional analysis of the report with detailed breakdown of all cost components (Capital Investment Details, Production Cost Details, Economics for another Plant Location, Dynamic Cost Model).
