Acids; saturated acyclic monocarboxylic acids; esters of formic acid
HS v2022 Code: 291513
About acids; saturated acyclic monocarboxylic acids; esters of formic acid
HS code 291513 covers a group of organic chemical compounds known as saturated acyclic monocarboxylic acids and their esters. These compounds are widely used in various industries, including pharmaceuticals, food and beverage production, and the manufacture of plastics, resins, and other materials. Their importance lies in their versatility and their ability to serve as building blocks for more complex chemical structures.
Production process
The production of the chemicals covered under HS code 291513 typically involves the oxidation of saturated aliphatic hydrocarbons, such as alkanes, to form the corresponding carboxylic acids. This process can be carried out using a variety of methods, including catalytic oxidation, electrochemical oxidation, and biological fermentation. The resulting acids can then be further processed to produce esters through esterification reactions.
Production inputs
The main inputs required for the production of the chemicals under HS code 291513 include the raw materials (such as 271112 Propane, 271113 Butanes, and 290110 Saturated acyclic hydrocarbons), as well as various catalysts, solvents, and other processing aids. Specialized equipment, such as reactors, distillation columns, and separation units, are also necessary for the production and purification of these chemicals.
Production outputs
The chemicals covered under HS code 291513 are used as intermediates in the production of a wide range of other products. For example, the saturated acyclic monocarboxylic acids can be used to manufacture 291521 Acetic acid, 291531 Formic acid, and various esters, which are then used in the production of plastics, coatings, pharmaceuticals, and other materials. The esters of formic acid, in particular, find applications in the production of 292010 (Esters of other inorganic acids (excluding esters of hydrogen halides)) and other chemical compounds.
