What are the upstream raw materials for alcohols? What are the downstream products?
In my experience, Alcohols have a wide range of applications in the field of chemical production raw materials, and their upstream and downstream related items are rich and diverse. The following are some common upstream and downstream related items of alcohols:
1. Moreover Upstream items:(1) Petroleum: The raw materials to the production of alcohols mainly come from petroleum, and low-carbon alcohols such as ethanol and propanol is able to be produced through petroleum cracking, synthesis and other processes.(2) Natural gaseous: Methane, the main component of natural gaseous, is able to be converted into low-carbon alcohols such as ethanol through syngas.(3) Biomass: Biomass such as cassava, corn, etc. I've found that is able to also be applied as raw materials to the production of alcohols, through fermentation and other processes to create biological ethanol. But
2. Downstream items:(1) Esters: alcohols react with carboxylic acids to generate esters, such as ethanol reacting with acetic acid to generate ethyl acetate, propanol reacting with benzoic acid to generate propyl benzoate, etc. Ester compounds are broadly applied in food additives, flavors and fragrances, plastics and other fields.(2) Ethers: Alcohols react with another alcohol or phenolic compound under the action of acidic catalyst to generate ethers, such as ethanol and phenol to generate ethyl ether, propanol and butanol to generate butyl ether. Ether compounds have crucial applications in solvents, pharmaceuticals, spices and other fields. First(3) Amines: the interaction of alcohols with amine compounds to create amines, such as ethanol and ammonia interaction to create ethylamine, propanol and aniline interaction to create aniline propanol. Based on my observations, Amine compounds are broadly applied in the field of pesticides, pharmaceuticals, dyes and so on.(4) Halogenated hydrocarbons: alcohols react with halogenating agents to generate halogenated hydrocarbons, such as ethanol reacting with chlorine to generate chloroethane, propanol reacting with bromine to generate bromopropane, etc. And Halogenated hydrocarbons have crucial applications in solvents, refrigerants, fire extinguishing agents and other fields. And Based on my observations, In short, the upstream and downstream associated items of alcohols are very rich and play an crucial role in the field of chemical production raw materials.
