General
- Acetone is a
pleasant smelling liquid, water-white, boiling at 56.1’ C.,
completely miscible with water, and weighing about 6.6 pounds per
gallon.
- It is readily
soluble in water, ethanol, ether, etc., and itself serves as an
important solvent.
- The most familiar
household use of acetone is as the active ingredient in nail polish
remover. Acetone is also used to make plastic, fibers, drugs, and
other chemicals.
Production
- The utilization
of millimolar concentrations of [2- 14C]acetone and the production
of acetone from acetoacetate were studied in perfused livers from
48-h starved rats.
- It is reported
Acetone production in children was derived from the relationship of
blood acetone levels and acetone “turnover rates”
- Acetone
metabolism in the aerobic bacterium Xanthobacter strain Py2 proceeds
by a carboxylation reaction forming acetoacetate as the first
detectable product.
Application
& Technology
- A new application
method of acetone is developed using a specific spray technique with
an Eppendorf ® multistepper pipette.
- Conversion
technology has been used to produce hydrogen, acetone, butanol and
ethanol (ABE) by fermentation, production properties were studied by
using many bacteria, Enterobacter aerogenes, Clostridium butyricum,
C. saccharoperbutylacetonicum N1-4, micro flora from POME reservoir,
etc.
Market
- More than 90
percent of US acetone is produced as a coproduct with phenol through
cumene peroxidation in the manufacture of phenol. About 0.62 pounds
of acetone is produced per pound of phenol.
-
Global acetone
capacity increased rapidly in the mid 1980s, which reached
6,700kt/yr in 2004 with an annual growth of 4% on average. Asia
enjoyed the fastest 20% growth with most new capacity seen in China.
