Ketones; acyclic, without other oxygen function, acetone

HS v2017 Code: 291411

About ketones; acyclic, without other oxygen function, acetone

HS code 291411 covers the classification of acetone, a widely used organic compound that belongs to the class of ketones. Acetone is a colorless, volatile, and flammable liquid with a distinctive sweet odor. It is a versatile chemical that finds extensive applications in various industries, including manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, and personal care products. As a key solvent and chemical intermediate, acetone plays a crucial role in the global economy, supporting a diverse range of industrial and commercial activities.

Production process

Acetone is primarily produced through the catalytic oxidation of propylene, a byproduct of the petroleum refining process. The main production method involves the oxidation of propylene to acetone, using air or oxygen as the oxidizing agent. This process is typically carried out in the presence of a catalyst, such as palladium or platinum, to enhance the efficiency and selectivity of the reaction. Alternatively, acetone can also be obtained as a co-product during the production of other chemicals, such as bisphenol A or methyl methacrylate.

Production inputs

The production of acetone requires several key inputs, including propylene as the primary raw material, as well as air or oxygen for the oxidation process. Additionally, the use of catalysts, such as palladium or platinum, is essential to optimize the reaction efficiency. Energy sources, such as electricity or steam, are also necessary to power the production facilities and maintain the required process conditions.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 291411 is acetone, which is a versatile chemical with a wide range of applications. Acetone is used as a solvent in various industries, including paint and coatings, adhesives, and cleaning products. It is also an important chemical intermediate in the production of other compounds, such as 291412 Ketones; cyclic, without other oxygen function, cyclohexanone and methylcyclohexanones, 291413 (Ketones; aromatic, without other oxygen function, phenylacetone (phenylpropan-2-one)), and 291419 Ketones; other. The demand for acetone is driven by its widespread use in these downstream industries.
