About alcohols; saturated monohydric, butanols excluding item no. 2905.13

HS code 290514 covers the classification of saturated monohydric butanols, a group of important industrial alcohols. These alcohols play a crucial role in the production of various chemicals, solvents, and fuels, making them a vital component of the broader chemical industry. Their versatility and widespread applications contribute significantly to the global economy.

Production process

Saturated monohydric butanols are typically produced through the hydrogenation of butyraldehyde, which is derived from the oxo-synthesis of propylene. This process involves the catalytic reduction of the aldehyde group to form the corresponding alcohol. The specific production techniques may vary depending on the desired isomer, such as n-butanol, isobutanol, or sec-butanol, each with its own unique properties and applications.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of saturated monohydric butanols include propylene, hydrogen, and various catalysts. Specialized equipment, such as reactors, distillation columns, and purification systems, are also essential for the efficient and high-quality production of these alcohols. Additionally, energy sources, such as electricity or steam, are necessary to power the manufacturing process.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of HS code 290514 are the different isomers of saturated monohydric butanols, including n-butanol, isobutanol, and sec-butanol. These alcohols find widespread use in the production of 290512 Alcohols, acyclic, monohydric, propyl and isopropyl, 290516 Alcohols, acyclic, monohydric, octyl, and other related chemical compounds classified under various HS codes. The versatility of these butanols allows them to be utilized in a diverse range of industries, including solvents, plasticizers, coatings, and fuel additives.
