| preparation method | There are a variety of methods for the preparation of acetaldehyde: in the coal chemical industry, the hydration method of calcium carbide is commonly used to generate acetylene, the acetylene and water in the mercury catalyst or non-mercury catalyst under the action of direct hydration of acetaldehyde; Can also be agricultural products based on the first fermentation of ethanol, and then make the oxidation or dehydrogenation and made; with the development of petrochemical industry, with ethylene as raw material, let oxygen through the hydrochloric acid aqueous solution containing palladium chloride, copper chloride catalyst, One-Step Direct oxidation synthesis of acetaldehyde; Also through the liquefied petroleum gas and light oil (naphtha) the oxidation of acetaldehyde. |
| harm to human body | acetaldehyde can be absorbed into the body by inhalation and by ingestion, it can slightly irritate the eyes, skin and respiratory tract. The substance may cause effects on the central nervous system. Acetaldehyde is a first-grade carcinogen that harms the body and can accumulate to cause cancer and other diseases. |
| content analysis | take 0.5mol/L hydroxylamine hydrochloride solution 65ml and 0.5mol/L triethanolamine solution 50.0ml, put into a heat-resistant and pressure-resistant bottle that can be safely fixed and has good sealing property. A slow flow of nitrogen gas was fed through a glass tube slightly above the liquid level at the outlet end for 2min to expel the air from the bottle. Accurately weigh about 600mg of the sample, seal it in an ampoule, and put it in the mixed solution in the pressure bottle. A few short glass rods of about 8mm in diameter were added, stoppers were capped and shaken strongly to break the ampoule. The bottles were then shaken at room temperature from time to time and reacted for 30min. Remove the plug after cooling if necessary, and take care to avoid the loss of the contents. Then titrated with 0.5mol/L sulfuric acid to a bluish Blue end point. Blank titration was performed at the same time. Each 0.5mol/L sulfuric acid solution is equivalent to 22.03mg of acetaldehyde (C2H4O). |

| Applications | mainly used in the preparation of acetic acid, acetic anhydride, ethyl acetate, butanol, pentaerythritol, triacetaldehyde, 3-hydroxybutyraldehyde, chloral and other products GB 2760-1996 provides temporary use of edible spices. Mainly used for the preparation of citrus, Apple, cream and other types of flavor. The largest user of acetaldehyde is the acetic acid industry. In the past, butanol and octanol were also important derivatives of acetaldehyde, and now they are basically replaced by propylene carbonyl synthesis. Other areas of acetaldehyde consumption are the production of pentaerythritol, peracetic acid, pyridine and its derivatives. Domestic production of acetaldehyde is basically used as an intermediate for the production of acetic acid, only a small amount of pentaerythritol, butanol, trichloroacetaldehyde, trimethylolpropane and other products. Acetaldehyde can be used to produce acetal, crotonaldehyde, peroxyacetic acid, hydroxypropionitrile, trichloroacetaldehyde, ethyl acetate, pentaerythritol, acetic anhydride, acetic acid, glyoxal, phenylacrolein, acetal, methylethylamine, diethylamine, α-alanine, pyridine, Α-picoline, β-picoline, γ-picoline. mainly used for the preparation of acetic acid, acetic anhydride, butyraldehyde, octanol, pentaerythritol, triacetaldehyde and other important chemical raw materials used as reducing agent and bactericide |
| production method | acetaldehyde has a variety of production methods: 1. Direct oxidation of ethylene ethylene and oxygen through the catalyst containing palladium chloride, copper chloride, hydrochloric acid and water, one-step direct oxidation synthesis of crude acetaldehyde, and then distilled to get the finished product. 2. Ethanol oxidation of ethanol vapor at 300-480 deg C, silver, copper or silver-copper alloy mesh or particle as a catalyst, from air oxidative dehydrogenation of acetaldehyde. Direct hydration of acetylene acetaldehyde was obtained by direct hydration of acetylene and water with mercury catalyst or non-mercury catalyst. Due to the problem of mercury damage, it has been gradually replaced by other methods. Ethanol dehydrogenation method acetaldehyde is produced by dehydrogenation of ethanol under the action of copper catalyst with addition of cobalt, chromium, zinc or other compounds. Oxidation of saturated hydrocarbons. Raw material consumption quota: acetylene water method consumes 99% acetylene per ton of product; Ethanol oxidation consumes 95% ethanol 1200kg; Ethylene oxidation (one-step method) consumes 99% ethylene 710kg, oxygen (99%)300. Commercially available industrial acetaldehyde, ethylene acetaldehyde purity of 99.7%, ethanol purity of 98%. results from the oxidation of ethylene. Obtained by Gas-Phase Hydrogenation of ethanol. Obtained from the simultaneous dry distillation of calcium acetate and calcium formate. Derived from the addition reaction of acetylene and water. |
