Acrolein Production Cost Reports

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

Acrolein is a liquid chemical or molecule that is the simplest unsaturated aldehyde. It is industrially produced using propylene. Therefore, it is also called acrylaldehyde or 2-propenal.

The chemical is clear or yellow in colour with a strong, unpleasant and disagreeable smell. It readily evaporates, burns quickly and reacts rapidly when exposed to other substances. It easily dissolves in water and quickly transforms to vapour upon heating. It is a volatile liquid that is very toxic when inhaled and irritating to the eyes and mucous membranes. It is less dense than water, with vapours heavier than air.

The market for acrolein is developing rapidly owing to its use in the production of chemicals, plastics and acrylic acid. It is used as a herbicide, a biocide and a building block to other chemical compounds like amino acid methionine. Furthermore, it is employed as an etherification agent for preparing modified food starches. In addition, it is used to make pesticides, mainly for controlling weeds, algae (that is used in irrigation canals to inhibit plant and algae growth and also to kill bacteria in oil wells), fungi, bacteria, molluscs, rodents, and microorganisms.

Other uses driving its demand forward include its use in water-cooling and treatment solutions; paper making; leather tanning solutions; Histology preparation fixatives; and for testing gases for military poison gases, gas masks,  and warning gases for refrigerant systems.

Also, it is utilised in Acrylic acid production, which is a derivative of acrolein that finds further employment in products like paint, adhesives, coatings, plastic, polishes, and elastic rubber. Aside from that, it is used to make medical products such as detergents and other hygienic products, as well as super absorbent polymers that are used in diapers and meat absorbents.
