Analysis on market demand and production technologies of acetonitrile
The application and market demand of acetonitrile are presented,and the domestic and overseas advances in production technonlgies of acetonitrile are reviewed.Based on comparing with ammonolysis of acetic acid and ammoxidation of ethanol,the synthesis of acetonitrile by ethanol dehydrogenation ammoniation is analyzed emphatically,owing to easily available and cheap raw materials,slight corrosion to equipment and by-produced hydrogen gas.In the long term,as long as the high efficient catalyst is developed,the industrial prospects of synthesis of acetonitrile by ethanol dehydrogenation amination will be more promising.
