HS v2017 Code: 290612

About alcohols; cyclanic, cyclenic or cycloterpenic and derivatives, cyclohexanol, methylcyclohexanols and dimethylcyclohexanols

HS code 290612 covers a range of cyclic alcohols, including cyclohexanol, methylcyclohexanols, and dimethylcyclohexanols. These compounds are important intermediates in the production of various chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and other industrial products. The cyclanic, cyclenic, and cycloterpenic alcohols and their derivatives have a wide range of applications, making this industry a crucial component of the broader chemical and manufacturing sectors.

Production process

The production of the alcohols covered under HS code 290612 typically involves catalytic hydrogenation of the corresponding cyclic ketones. This process converts the ketone functional group into an alcohol group, yielding the desired cyclohexanol, methylcyclohexanols, or dimethylcyclohexanols. The specific reaction conditions, such as temperature, pressure, and catalyst selection, can be tailored to optimize the yield and purity of the final product.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 290612 alcohols include the corresponding cyclic ketone raw materials, hydrogen gas, and various catalysts. Specialized equipment such as hydrogenation reactors, distillation columns, and purification systems are also essential for the manufacturing process. Additionally, utilities like electricity, steam, and cooling water are necessary to support the production operations.

Production outputs

The alcohols produced under HS code 290612 are widely used as intermediates in the synthesis of other chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and consumer products. For example, cyclohexanol is a precursor for the production of 290712 Phenol, hydroxybenzene and 291736 Caprolactam, 2-Oxohexamethyleneimine, which are important building blocks for various polymers and plastics. The methylcyclohexanols and dimethylcyclohexanols may find applications in the formulation of solvents, lubricants, and specialty chemicals.
