Feedstock for 5-Nonanone

The production of 5-nonanone includes a catalytic process that uses levulinic acid as a raw material. The changes in market dynamics of this raw material affect the manufacturing of 5-nonanone.

The procurement of levulinic acid as a raw material is influenced by several factors. The availability of biomass feedstock, like agricultural residues, that works as primary sources in the production of levulinic acid affects its sourcing. The growing inclination towards sustainability further drives the use of renewable biomass sources, impacting supply chain dynamics. The usage of advanced production processes improves yields and reduces costs. Its demand for the production of biofuels, biodegradable chemicals, and as a substitute for petroleum products affects its price and availability. The changes in raw material prices and production costs, along with government policies for the usage of sustainable chemicals, also affect its procurement. Also, the availability of other synthetic chemical alternatives affects levulinic acid industrial procurement if they are easily available or low in price.

Manufacturing Process

This report comprises a thorough value chain evaluation for 5-Nonanone manufacturing and consists of an in-depth production cost analysis revolving around industrial 5-Nonanone manufacturing.

• By Catalytic Process: The feedstock for this process includes levulinic acid.

The manufacturing process of 5-Nonanone starts with the catalytic conversion of levulinic acid by using a cascade arrangement of catalytic beds. This setup assists multiple reactions within a single reactor. The process leads to the formation of 5-Nonanone along with various by-products, like hexanone, heptanone, n-nonane, n-butane, and pentanoic acid. Finally, the product is further separated and purified to get 5-Nonanone as the final product.
 

Properties of 5-Nonanone

5-Nonanone has a molecular formula of C9H18O and a molecular weight of 142.24 g/mol. It is a colorless to light yellow liquid. It has a melting point of -50 °C and a boiling point that ranges from 186 to 187 °C. It has a density of about 0.826 g/mL at 25 °C. Its refractive index is 1.419 at 20 °C, and it has a flash point of 60 °C. It is slightly soluble in water and miscible with many organic solvents. It is stable under normal conditions but reacts with strong acids and bases, releasing heat and flammable gases. It causes irritation upon inhalation or contact with the skin and eyes and chronic exposure may lead to neurotoxic effects. All these physical and chemical properties make it useful in various industries.
