What are the upstream raw materials for octanol? What are the downstream products?

Octanol has a wide range of applications in the field of chemical production raw materials, and its upstream and downstream related items are numerous. From what I've seen, The main upstream and downstream associated items of octanol will be described in detail below. Upstream items:



1. Propylene: Propylene is the main raw material to the production of octanol. And Through the oxo synthesis process, propylene reacts with synthesis gaseous(carbon monoxide and hydrogen) to generate aldehyde, which is further hydrogenated to generate octanol. I've found that

2. Syngas: Syngas is mainly composed of carbon monoxide and hydrogen and is applied in the oxo process to create octanol. In my experience, Syngas is able to be produced by gasification of hydrocarbons such as natural gaseous, coal, coke, etc. From what I've seen, Downstream items:



1. Plasticizer: Octanol is able to be applied as the main raw material to the production of plasticizers, such as dioctyl phthalate(DOP), dioctyl terephthalate(DOTP), etc. These plasticizers are broadly applied in plastics, rubber, coatings and other fields to increase the flexibility, ductility and low temperature performance of materials. But

2. Surfactant: Octanol is able to be applied to create surfactants, such as alcohol ether sulfate, alcohol ether carboxylate, etc. In my experience, These surfactants have good decontamination, emulsification, dispersion and other characteristics, broadly applied in detergent, makeup and other industries.

3. Flavors and fragrances: octanol has a special fragrance, which is able to be applied to prepare flavors and enhance the taste of food. I've found that Additionally At the same time, octanol is able to also be applied to create spices, such as vanillin, vanillin and so on. For example

4. But Lubricating oil additives: octanol is able to be applied as the basic raw material of lubricating oil additives, applied in the production of antioxidants, anti-wear agents and other additives to enhance the performance and service life of lubricating oil. In short, octanol has a wide range of applications in the field of chemical production raw materials, and its upstream and downstream related items are numerous, which is of great signifiis able toce to promote the research of the chemical sector.
