Raw Material for Diisobutylene Production
According to the Diisobutylene production plant project report, the key raw materials used in the production of Diisobutylene include Isobutylene-Solid Phosphoric Acid.
Production Process of Diisobutylene
The extensive Diisobutylene production cost report consists of the following major industrial production process:
- From Isobutylene and Solid Phosphoric Acid: The production process of Diisobutylene involves catalytic dimerization. In this process, two isobutylene molecules react in the presence of solid phosphoric acid as a catalyst. This reaction results in the dimerization of isobutylene forming diisobutylene as the final product.
Diisobutylene has a molecular formula C8H16 with a molecular weight of 112.21 g/mol. It has a clear, colorless liquid with a characteristic odor that resembles petroleum. It is insoluble in water with a melting point in the range of -106.4 to -93.5 °C and a boiling point between 101.4 to 104.9 °C, respectively. It is highly insoluble in water but dissolves in ethyl ether, carbon tetrachloride, benzene, etc. Its density is 0.71 g/cm3 at a standard temperature of 25 C. It is a volatile chemical liquid with a flash point in the range of -9 to -6.7 °C and an autoignition temperature of 374 °C.
