Raw Material for Ethyl Myristate Production
According to the Ethyl Myristate production plant project report, the key raw materials used in the production of Ethyl Myristate include Ethanol-Myristic Acid-Sulfuric Acid.
Production Process of Ethyl Myristate
The extensive Ethyl Myristate production cost report consists of the following major industrial production process:
- From Ethanol, Myristic Acid, Sulfuric Acid: The production process of Ethyl Myristate involves an esterification reaction. In this reaction, ethanol reacts with myristic acid in the presence of an acidic catalyst such as sulfuric acid. This catalyst results in the condensation of the carboxylic group of myristic acid with the hydroxy group of ethanol, forming Ethyl Myristate as the final product.
Ethyl Myristate has a complex chemical structure with a chemical formula C16H32O2. It is a colorless to pale yellow-colored chemical with a characteristic odor and a molecular weight of 256.42 g/mol. Its melting and boiling point is measured approximately at 12.3 °C and 178 °C, respectively. It is a soluble liquid chemical exhibiting slight solubility in ether. Similarly, it can also be dissolved in alcohols, specifically in ethanol. Its density is measured approximately between 0.857-0.862 g/cm3 at a standard temperature of 25 °C. It is a fatty acid ester, that can also be found naturally in organisms such as Litchi chinensis and Psidium guajava etc.
