Chemical Industries (Alcohol based)

Description:

The chemical industry comprisesthe companies that produce industrial chemicals. Central to the modern worldeconomy, it converts raw materials (oil, natural gas, air, water, metals, andminerals) into several different products. The Indian chemical industry isamong the established traditional sectors of the country, playing an integralrole in the national economic development. This sector, forming part of thebasic goods industry, is a critical input for industrial and agriculturaldevelopment. The fundamental nature and diversity of the industry is bestunderstood from the fact that the industry itself is the largest consumer ofits products, accounting for around 33% of total consumption. Alcohol is a veryvaluable material which has variety of uses such as for production ofchemicals, as a source of energy and fuel etc. an alcohol is an organiccompound in which the hydroxyl functional group (OH) is bound to a carbon atom.In particular, this carbon centre should be saturated, having single bonds to threeother atoms. Some of the common examples of alcohol and its derivatives areacetaldehyde, acetic acid, chloroacetic acid, acetic anhydride, dimethylacetamide, butyl alcohols, ethyl acetate, butyl acetate, cellulose acetate,ethyl ether and many more. Ethanol can be used in the pharmaceutical,cosmetics, solvents, food, and chemical industries with a majority ofindustrial ethanol used as a solvent in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals,paints, and lacquers. It is also used as a carrier in medicines. Some foodextracts and flavourings can contain ethanol. It is also used in the personalcare industry in products such as hairspray, mouthwash and cologne and in handsanitizers and medical wipes.  Some of the fundamentals of the book aremanufacture of ethanol, absolute/anhydrous alcohol, barium acetate, calciumacetate, chromium acetate, cobalt acetate, copper acetate, lead acetate, vinylchloride, vinyl acetate monomer, poly vinyl acetate, film-forming latexes, nonfilm forming latexes, styrene based resins, styrene polyester resins,styrenated oils and alkyds, ion exchange resins, ethylene glycol monoethylether (cello solve) etc.
The book covers manufacturing details of various alcohol based chemicals. Wehope that it will be very resourceful for new entrepreneurs, researchers,general information seekers and libraries as a reference book.
