Detailed Project Report on isopropyl alcohol from acetone feed stock (cap:50,000 tpa)

ISOPROPYL ALCOHOL FROM ACETONE FEED STOCK (CAP: 50,000 TPA)
[CODE NO.3096]  


Isopropanol is a secondary alcohol and it is having the properties which are

also favourable to the industrial uses i.e. it is a mobile, colourless,

low-boiling, flammable water-miscible liquid with a characteristic alcoholic

odour.

There are large fields of application of isopropyl alcohol. The major use of

isopropanol is for the production of acetone. The other uses of isopropanol is a

wide variety of solvents and chemical intermediates, used in drugs and

pharmaceuticals. It is also used as a deicing agent for liquid fuel and as

preservatives.

For handling and storage of isopropanol drums, bottles, tins tank cars and

piping and equipment are used.

There are two methods for the manufacture of isopropanol as a commercially

important. Both of the methods involve the hydzation of Propylene.

By the first method, Proplyene is absorbed in the sulphuric acid in an absorber

with a jacket, which is subsequently hydrolyzed with water to isopropyl alcohol

and dilute sulfuric acid. The various purity of the product can also be

obtained.

However the other process, which is more popular and modern is direct catalytic

hydration of propylene, is combined with demineralized water.

The main items of plant and equipment are a packed bed reactor, one rubber,

storage tanks and a distillation column. All these quipments are available

indigenously with chemical plant fabricators.

This report envisages for one ton per day of isopropyl alcohol. The B.E.P. comes

to be 43.55%. Though there is a good demand for this chemical, due to

competition from by plants the profits are expected to be low.
