Introduction
Acryl Alcohol is a stimulating chemical substance and colorless liquid. It is a chemical substance generated by gas-phase reaction using propylene, acetic acid and oxygen in the presence of fixed-bed catalyst, and can be used as the raw material of many chemical substances.
| Category | Details |
|---|---|
| Chemical Formula | CH₂=CHCH₂OH; unsaturated primary alcohol |
| Key Applications | – Glycerine Production: Epichlorohydrin route precursor – Resins: Epoxy resins, allyl ethers – Pesticides: Carbamate intermediates – Pharmaceuticals: Chiral synthesis building block |
| Physical Properties | – Boiling Point: 97°C – Flash Point: 29°C (closed cup) – Reactivity: Highly exothermic polymerization potential – Odor: Pungent, lachrymatory |
| Safety Hazards | – Toxicity: Severe respiratory/dermal irritation – Carcinogenicity: Suspected (IARC Group 2B) – Fire Risk: Autoignition at 370°C – Exposure Limits: ACGIH TLV 0.5ppm (TWA) |
| Environmental Impact | – Water Solubility: Miscible (high mobility in aquatic systems) – Biodegradation: Readily degrades under aerobic conditions – Eco-Toxicity: LC50 (fish) = 48mg/L |
| Handling Precautions | – Storage: Cool, ventilated area – PPE: Chemical-resistant gloves, goggles – Inhibitors: Requires stabilization against self-polymerization |
| Market Dynamics | – Global Demand: ~25,000 tons/year (2025) – Growth Drivers: Bio-based glycerine demand, epoxy composites – Price Drivers: Propylene feedstock costs, supply chain stability |
| Sustainability Trends | – Green Chemistry: Bio-derived production via fermentation – Process Optimization: Closed-loop reactor systems – Regulatory Compliance: REACH/TSCA registration updates |
Note: Critical intermediate requiring strict temperature control. Emerging focus on bio-based production to reduce environmental footprint.
