Aluminium acetate is an inorganic compound that is used as a topical astringent and antiseptic. It constricts blood vessels, dries secretions, and forms a protective barrier on the skin that promotes healing and comfort. It is used in treating skin irritations like insect bites and rashes to reduce itching and inflammation. It is applied topically to treat skin irritations like insect bites, poison ivy, rashes, minor wounds, and wet cuts by reducing inflammation, swelling, and itching. It also helps control bacterial and fungal infections, making it useful in conditions like athlete’s foot and shingles. It is utilized in dermatology as it provides relief from pruritus, diaper rash, and acne by drying excess moisture and soothing irritated skin. It also works as a mordant in textile dyeing and helps in fixing dyes to fabrics and is used for waterproofing and fireproofing cloth. It is also added to some cosmetic products for its skin-soothing effects.

Feedstock for Aluminium Acetate

The production of aluminium acetate uses a simple reaction or an electrolytic that uses aluminium oxide or aluminium hydroxide, aluminium metal, and acetic acid as the major feedstock. The changes in the prices and availability of these raw materials affect its manufacturing.

The procurement of aluminium oxide is driven by factors like costs of raw materials, energy costs, demand in downstream industries, etc. The changes in the prices and availability of raw materials like bauxite ore (the quality and composition of the ore impacts its procurement) affect its production costs. Its manufacturing is an energy-intensive process, mainly during calcination, and changes in energy prices affect its sourcing. The changes in its demand in downstream industries like aluminium smelting, ceramics, abrasives, refractories, electronics, etc., further affect its procurement strategies.

Aluminium hydroxide is another raw material that can be used in place of aluminium oxide. Its sourcing is affected by the availability and costs of its raw materials like aluminium sulfate (the fluctuations in the availability and price of its raw materials like aluminium hydroxide and sulfuric acid affects its procurement) and sodium hydroxide (sodium hydroxide production is done via the chlor-alkali process that is an energy-intensive process so the changes in energy prices affect its sourcing). The fluctuations in its demand for water treatment, pharmaceuticals, chemical industries, etc., affect its procurement.

The sourcing of aluminium metal (another major feedstock used in the production of aluminium acetate) is affected by the availability and costs of its raw material, like bauxite ore. Its production is highly energy-intensive, and fluctuations in electricity prices that are linked to oil, gas, and coal prices affect its production costs. The changes in its demand in downstream industries like rolling, extrusion, fabrication, anodizing, recycling, foil production, etc., affect its availability.

The procurement of acetic acid is affected by factors raw material costs, market demand, environmental and regulatory compliance, etc. The fluctuations in the price and availability of its raw materials like methanol (changes in the cost of feedstocks like natural gas and coal affect methanol procurement) and carbon monoxide (production cost and availability of its feedstock materials like carbon, metal oxide ores, and carbon dioxide impact its sourcing) affect its production costs. The changes in its demand in downstream industries like textiles, packaging, pharmaceuticals, plastics, etc., affect its availability. The strict environmental regulations on emissions and waste treatment further add to its production costs.

North American region is driven by growing awareness of health and hygiene, advanced research facilities, and strict regulatory standards in medical and personal care applications. In Europe, the well-established pharmaceutical industry and focus on sustainable and eco-friendly products contribute to its growth.

The CAPEX for the aluminium acetate production facility includes costs of glass-lined or stainless-steel reactor vessels, jacketed vessels or external heat exchangers, centrifuges or filter presses, tray or rotary dryers, reflux condensers, fume extractors, etc. For the electrolytic process, CAPEX includes electrolytic cells or tanks lined with non-corrosive material, aluminium anodes, and graphite or stainless-steel cathodes. It also includes the costs of DC power supplies, electrolyte circulation systems, product filtration units, drying systems, and control panels. Its OPEX includes recurring costs that include costs of raw materials and utilities like electricity, steam, and process water. The wages for labor for operating reactors, electrolysis systems, and quality control are also covered under OPEX. It also includes the costs of routine maintenance of equipment, electrode replacements, filter media, gaskets, and safety gear.
 

Manufacturing Process

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

• From Aluminium Oxide or Aluminium Hydroxide and Acetic Acid: The feedstock for this process includes aluminium oxide or aluminium hydroxide and acetic acid.

The manufacturing of aluminium acetate involves a reaction between aluminium oxide or aluminium hydroxide with acetic acid. In this process, aluminium oxide or hydroxide is reacted with acetic acid in a solution with continuous stirring. The reaction takes place at room temperature and controlled conditions to get better product yield and quality. After the reaction, the mixture is filtered to remove any unreacted solids or impurities, and the resulting solution is then concentrated or crystallized. Finally, the product is dried to get pure aluminium acetate as the final product.

• Aluminium Metal and Acetic Acid: The feedstock for this process includes aluminium metal and acetic acid.

The manufacturing of aluminium acetate involves an electrolytic method. In this method, an electric current is passed through an aqueous acetic acid solution that contains aluminium metal as the anode and an inert cathode. After the current is applied, the aluminium metal oxidizes at the anode, releasing aluminium ions into the solution, which then reacts with acetate ions from the acetic acid to form aluminium acetate. The solution is filtered to remove impurities, concentrated, and crystallized to get pure aluminium acetate as the final product.
 

Properties of Aluminium Acetate

Aluminium acetate has the molecular formula of C6H9AlO6 and a molecular weight of around 204 g/mol. It is a white, hygroscopic solid that has a density of about 2.19 g/cm³. It has a melting point of about 300 degree Celsius. It is soluble in water and glycerin and produces a clear, colorless solution with a mildly acidic pH of around 4.5. It is weakly acidic and stable under normal conditions but decomposes at elevated temperatures into acetic acid and water. It reacts with strong acids to form various aluminium salts and with oxidizing agents like perchloric acid to produce aluminium perchlorate. It reacts with metals like zinc and magnesium to form metal acetates. All these physical and chemical properties make it useful in dermatology, the textile industry, etc.
