Description:
Acetaldoxime is one of the simplest oxime-containing compounds, and it has a wide variety of uses in chemical synthesis processes as an important intermediate. It is especially notable for its commercial application as an intermediate in the production of pesticides and cyanogenic glucosides or as boiler chemicals to remove oxygen with its limited toxicity and strong reduction.
Initially, acetaldoxime can be prepared using hydroxylamine sulfate or hydroxylamine hydrochloride with sodium nitrite and sulfur dioxide, which has a low utilization rate, a high level of low value by-products and serious environmental pollution effects. Therefore, it is extremely important to develop a new synthesis process for acetaldoxime.

Acetaldehyde ammoximation to its oxime using TS-1 (Titanium Silicalite-1) as a catalyst and H2O2 as an oxidant offers a better approach. Moreover, the utilization of carbon atoms is up to 100%, and water is a unique byproduct that meets the development requirements of green chemical industry.
The global acetaldehyde market accounted for US$ 1,329.4 Mn in 2018 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.7% during the forecast period 2019 - 2027, to account for US$ 2,367.0 Mn by 2027. The largest share of the global acetaldehyde market. The growth of the market in this region is primarily attributed to the growing manufacturing industry in countries such as China, India, Japan, and South Korea. India also offers huge market potential due to emerging players in the chemicals, plastics and synthetic rubber, food & beverages, paints and coatings, and pharmaceuticals and cosmetics industries. Moreover, in the agriculture industry, acetaldehyde is used in the production of methomyl. The chemical is also used to make acetaldoxime, which is used as an insecticide. The Asia Pacific region has a well-established agriculture sector, and the demand for insecticides is growing over the past few years. This factor is projected to propel the demand for acetaldehyde. In the pharmaceutical industry, acetaldehyde is used in the production of sedatives and tranquilizers. Therefore, the growth of this industry in India is projected to boost the acetaldehyde market.
Acetaldehyde is used in a wide range of industrial applications; it is the most commonly used raw material in the organic chemical industry. As a raw material, it is used in the manufacturing of paint binders, plasticizers, and super absorbents that are used in baby nappies. It is also used in the manufacture of various types of building materials, synthetic lubricants, fire protection paints, and explosives. In the pharmaceutical industry, it is used in the production of vitamins, sleeping aids, and sedatives. It is also often used as an intermediate in the chemical synthesis of acetic acid. Moreover, acetaldehyde chemical is infused in various types of perfumes and can further be used in decorative cosmetics, fragrances, shampoos, soaps, and oral care products as well as in household cleaners and detergents.
