Detailed Project Report on white spirit manufacturing

WHITE SPIRIT MANUFACTURING

 [CODE NO.4196] 

White spirit – is a narrow hydrocarbon fraction with the boiling temperature 140-220°C. Concentration of sulfur compounds in white spirit should not exceed 0.1% wt. Therefore, white spirit production is often based on hydrotreated kerosene with complex additives to prevent yellowing.

White spirit is used as a solvent for oil paints, so special requirements are forwarded on its smell. Odor source in white spirit are mercaptans (RSH) and aromatics.

Mercaptan removal from white spirit is possible with alkaline oxidative treating. In this case, malodorous mercaptan compounds are converted to inert disulfides:

2RSH + 0.5O2 ? RSSR + H2O

Removal of aromatic compound (concentration may be up to 25%) is carried out using polar solvents (water solutions of glycols and polar aprotic solvents, however, this method is accompanied by the necessity to regenerate large amounts of solvent and does not completely remove the odor in white spirit production.

White spirit (UK & Ireland)[note 1] or mineral spirits (US, Canada), also known as mineral turpentine (AU/NZ), turpentine substitute, and petroleum spirits, is a petroleum-derived clear liquid used as a common organic solvent in painting. There are also terms for specific kinds of mineral spirits, including Stoddard solvent and solvent naphtha (petroleum). Mineral spirits are often used as paint thinner, or as a component thereof, though paint thinner is a broader category of solvent. Odorless mineral spirits (OMS) have been refined to remove the more toxic aromatic compounds, and are recommended for applications such as oil painting.

A mixture of aliphatic, open-chain or alicyclic C7 to C12 hydrocarbons, white spirit is insoluble in water and is used as an extraction solvent, as a cleaning solvent, as a degreasing solvent and as a solvent in aerosols, paints, wood preservatives, lacquers, varnishes, and asphalt products. In Western Europe about 60% of the total white spirit consumption is used in paints, lacquers and varnishes. White spirit is the most widely used solvent in the paint industry. In households, white spirit is commonly used to clean paint brushes after use, to clean auto parts and tools, as a starter fluid for charcoal grills, to remove adhesive residue from non-porous surfaces, and many other common tasks.

The word "mineral" in "mineral spirits" or "mineral turpentine" is meant to distinguish it from distilled spirits (distilled directly from fermented grains and fruit) or from true turpentine (distilled tree resin).

The demand of paints coating etc. is increasing rapidly due to industrial development.

However the demand of White Spirit/ Mineral Turpentine Oil is increasing day by day and hence there is a good scope for new entrant.
