Ketones; acyclic, without other oxygen function, acetone
HS v2022 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 crucial industrial chemical, finding applications in a diverse range of industries, from manufacturing to pharmaceuticals. As a key component in the production of various consumer and industrial goods, the acetone industry plays a significant role in the global economy.
Production process
Acetone is primarily produced through the propylene oxidation process. In this method, propylene, a byproduct of petroleum refining, is oxidized in the presence of air or oxygen to form acetone. The reaction is typically carried out in the presence of a catalyst, such as metal oxides, to enhance the efficiency of the process. The resulting acetone is then purified through distillation to meet the required purity standards for various applications.
Production inputs
The main inputs required for the acetone industry include propylene, which serves as the primary raw material, as well as air or oxygen for the oxidation process. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized equipment, such as reactors, distillation columns, and storage tanks, to facilitate the production and purification of acetone. Energy sources, such as electricity or steam, are also essential for powering the manufacturing facilities.
Production outputs
The primary output of HS code 291411 is acetone, which is widely used as a solvent in various industries. Acetone finds applications in the production of 291411 Ketones; acyclic, without other oxygen function, acetone, 290511 (Methanol (methyl alcohol)), and 290531 (Ethylene glycol (ethanediol)), among other chemical products. The acetone industry also generates byproducts, such as carbon dioxide and water, which may be further processed or utilized in other industries.
