Propylene

Product performance:

It is colorless and combustible gas under normal temperature and pressure. Slightly hydrocarbon specific odor. Soluble in ethanol and ether, slightly soluble in water.

Product use:

Propylene is an important chemical raw material. Acrolein obtained by gas phase oxidation of propylene is used to produce acrylic acid, allyl alcohol, glyceraldehyde, hydroxyacetaldehyde and important food and feed additive methionine; Acrylonitrile obtained by ammoxidation of propylene is an important raw material for synthetic fiber, synthetic rubber and plastics; Chloropropene obtained by chlorination of propylene can be further synthesized into allyl alcohol, propylene dichloropropanol, chloropropanil, etc., which can be used as raw glycerol, epoxy resin, chlorohydrin rubber, surface activator, etc; Cumene is obtained by alkylation of propylene, which is the main intermediate of phenol at present. It produces phenol and acetone at the same time; N-butyraldehyde and isobutyraldehyde are synthesized from propylene by carbonylation. Many organic synthesis intermediates can be derived and used in plasticizers, dyes, solvents, pesticides and so on; Propylene is hydrated to obtain isopropanol, which is used to produce acetone, acetone, isopropylamine and isopropyl ester; Propylene dimerization to ethylene, trimerization to kiloene, polymerization to polypropylene, propylene tetramerization to dodecene is the intermediate of surfactant.
