HS v2017 Code: 291419

About ketones; acyclic, without other oxygen function, n.e.c. in item no. 2914.1

HS code 291419 covers a diverse range of acyclic ketones, which are organic compounds containing a carbonyl group (C=O) without any other oxygen function. These ketones play a crucial role in various industries, including pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and specialty chemicals. They are widely used as solvents, intermediates, and building blocks for the synthesis of more complex molecules. The global trade in these acyclic ketones is significant, reflecting their importance in the broader chemical industry and their applications across numerous sectors of the economy.

Production process

The production of acyclic ketones covered under HS code 291419 typically involves a range of chemical synthesis techniques. The most common method is the oxidation of primary or secondary alcohols, where the alcohol group is converted to a carbonyl group. This can be achieved through various oxidation processes, such as catalytic oxidation or the use of strong oxidizing agents. Another common technique is the condensation of aldehydes or carboxylic acids, which can be carried out under acidic or basic conditions to form the desired ketone product.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of acyclic ketones under HS code 291419 include a range of alcohols, aldehydes, and carboxylic acids, which serve as the raw materials. Additionally, various catalysts, solvents, and reagents may be used to facilitate the chemical synthesis processes. Specialized equipment, such as reactors, distillation columns, and purification systems, are also essential for the efficient and high-quality production of these ketones.

Production outputs
