n-hexanol is a hazardous chemical and the production process is subject to strict government supervision.

n-hexanol, also known as 1-hexanol, n-pentylmethanol, etc., is a primary fatty alcohol and mainly appears as a colorless and transparent liquid with a special fragrance. N-hexanol is flammable and can form explosive mixtures with air. It is low-toxic and irritating to skin and mucous membranes. There are currently a variety of n-hexanol products on the market, which are mainly divided into industrial-grade n-hexanol and food-grade n-hexanol according to different uses. Industrial-grade n-hexanol is widely used in solvents, coatings, plastics and other fields, while food-grade n-hexanol is used In food additives, spices and other fields.

N-hexanol naturally exists in citrus berries, tea leaves and various plant aromatic essential oils, such as lavender oil, violet leaf oil, and apple oil, but the content is extremely low. The production efficiency of directly extracting n-hexanol from plants is poor, so my country’s industry Chemical synthesis is mainly used to produce n-hexanol.

There are various production processes for n-hexanol, including acetic acid reduction method, ethyl hexanoate reduction method, bromobutane-magnesium chips method, etc. Industrially, n-hexanol is generally made by hexanoic acid reduction method, which has the characteristics of simple process and convenient large-scale mass production. The equipment for preparing n-hexanol in the laboratory is relatively complete, and the bromobutane-magnesium shavings method is mostly used.

According to the “2023-2028 China n-caproic acid industry market in-depth research and development prospect forecast report released by the Industrial Research Center, Zhengji Alcohol belongs to the petrochemical industry, and its development is strongly supported by national policies. In 2021, the “Petroleum and Chemical Industry “14th Five-Year Plan” Development Guide” issued by the China Petroleum and Chemical Industry Federation under the guidance of the government clearly stated that it is necessary to enhance the independent innovation capabilities of the petrochemical industry, promote the green, low-carbon and sustainable development of the industry, and promote The industry is transforming towards digitalization and intelligence, and the industrial layout is optimized. These policies promote the n-hexanol industry to strengthen technological innovation, reform production processes, and follow policy guidelines to develop high-quality in the direction of digitalization, intelligence, and environmental protection.

n-hexanol is flammable and has certain toxicity, and is a hazardous chemical. The state has strict supervision over the production process of hazardous chemicals. In March 2022, the Ministry of Emergency Management of my country issued the “14th Five-Year Plan for the Safety Production of Hazardous Chemicals” to strengthen supervision of the production process of the hazardous chemicals industry and promote the safety production responsibility system. Establish. This policy will promote the n-hexanol industry to standardize the production process and reduce the probability of production safety accidents.

Industry analysts said that the main future development directions and trends of my country’s n-hexanol industry include the following aspects: First, improve the production process Energy efficiency and environmental protection, reduce enterprise production costs and environmental protection pressure, and reduce negative impacts on the environment; second, strengthen research and development innovation, improve the quality of n-hexanol, enhance product added value, and broaden application areas; third, actively explore international markets and increase exports proportion and increase industry competitiveness.
