What are the upstream raw materials of beet acid? What do the downstream products contain?

In my experience, Beet acid has an crucial position in the field of chemical production raw materials, and its upstream and downstream related items are extensive. Some of the main upstream and downstream associated items of beet acid will be described in detail below.

1. upstream items



1. Styrene: Styrene is one of the main raw materials of beet acid, which is able to be produced by the oxidation interaction of styrene. Specifically

2. Oxygen: The production of betaic acid needs the consumption of oxygen as an oxidant.

2. downstream items



1. Betaine: Betaine is able to react with ammonia or other alkaline absorbents to form betaine. But Betaine is an crucial surfactant, which is broadly applied in cosmetic, textile, petroleum and other industries.

2. Pesticides: Betaic acid is able to be applied to synthesize some pesticides, such as betaine insecticides, which are toxic to insects and is able to be applied to manage crop pests. In short, beet acid in the field of chemical production raw materials in the upstream and downstream related items are very extensive, and its consumption areas involve all aspects of our lives.
