Feedstock for 2-Methylpropan-1-ol

The production of 2-methylpropan-1-ol uses raw sugar, propylene, corn stover, and corn as the major feedstock. The changes in prices and availability of these raw materials affect the manufacturing of 2-Methylpropan-1-ol.

The procurement of raw sugar is influenced by factors like weather conditions that affect crop yields and government policies like tariffs, subsidies, and trade agreements. The changes in its demand in refined sugar production, ethanol and alcohol manufacturing, biomass energy generation, as well as the production of paper pulp, particle board, and fertilizers, affect its supply and costs.

Transportation and storage logistics are also important for their timely and cost-effective procurement. It is regulated by environmental standards that limit water use, control air emissions, require treatment of wastewater and solid waste, and mandate adoption of cleaner production technologies and pollution monitoring systems, which add to its compliance costs.

The sourcing of propylene (another raw material used in the production of 2-Methylpropan-1-ol) is influenced by the availability of raw materials like crude oil and natural gas (changes in their supply and demand in the global market affect their procurement). Its demand in downstream industries like polypropylene production, propylene oxide, acrylonitrile, cumene, acrylic acid, and isopropanol manufacturing affects its availability. Its environmental regulations focus on limiting volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions from its production and processing facilities, with standards set for air emissions, equipment leaks, and wastewater discharges that further affect its procurement strategies.

Corn stover is another major feedstock used in the manufacturing of 2-methylpropan-1-ol. The availability of harvesting machinery and the limit on how much stover can be removed to protect soil health affect its sourcing. Other factors like corn grain yield and weather conditions during harvest impact the quantity and quality of stover. The changes in its demand in downstream industries like biofuels, bio-based chemicals, animal feed, and renewable materials like bioplastics and hydrochar influence its supply and costs.

The procurement of Corn (another raw material used in the production of 2-methylpropan-1-ol) is influenced by the availability and price of corn (supply of corn is affected by agricultural trends, climate conditions, and weather events like droughts or floods). Its production costs, which include costs of land, seeds, fertilizers, water, labor, and energy, affect its sourcing expenses.

The changes in its demand in downstream industries like food processing, animal feed, starch and sweetener production, biofuels (like ethanol), pharmaceuticals, and biochemical manufacturing govern its availability. The agreement with regulations that prohibit production on wetlands, highly biodiverse grasslands, and protected lands, along with compliance with air and water quality standards, habitat conservation for endangered species, etc., affects its procurement strategies.

Manufacturing Processes

This report comprises a thorough value chain evaluation for 2-Methylpropan-1-ol manufacturing and consists of an in-depth production cost analysis revolving around industrial 2-Methylpropan-1-ol manufacturing.

• By Fermentation Process: The feedstock for this process includes raw sugar.

The manufacturing process of 2-methylpropan-1-ol involves a fermentation reaction. In this process, raw sugar goes through hydrolysis that converts it into invert sugars. These invert sugars then go through fermentation, which forms 2-methylpropan-1-ol. The product is separated and purified to get pure 2-methylpropan-1-ol.

• By Carbonylation Reaction: The feedstock for this process includes propylene.

The manufacturing process of 2-methylpropan-1-ol involves a carbonylation reaction. In this process, propylene goes through a hydroformylation reaction that converts it into a mixture of isobutyraldehydes. This mixture goes through hydrogenation, which results in the formation of various alcohols. The desired product, 2-methylpropan-1-ol, is then separated and purified from this mixture.

• From Corn Stover: The feedstock for this process includes corn stover.

In this manufacturing process, the corn stover is pretreated with a dilute sulfuric acid solution that breaks down the biomass. After acid pretreatment, the material is conditioned with ammonia to neutralize the mixture and prepare it for fermentation. The conditioned biomass is then fermented, which leads to the production of 2-methylpropan-1-ol.

• From Corn: The feedstock for this process includes corn.

In this manufacturing process, corn sugars are fermented using genetically engineered microorganisms that are specifically designed to produce 2-methylpropan-1-ol. This fermentation gives 2-methylpropan-1-ol, which is separated and purified to give pure 2-methylpropan-1-ol.
