Alcohol based-chemicals
The document discusses several alcohol-based chemicals and processes, including: 1. It outlines various alcohol-based chemicals that can be produced from methanol or ethanol as starting materials, such as formaldehyde, acetic acid, ethyl acetate, and sodium methoxide. 2. In India, acetic acid is the largest alcohol-based chemical produced, and it is used to make other chemicals like ethyl acetate and butyl acetate. Ethanol is also used to produce acetaldehyde and ethylene. 3. Production processes for some key chemicals from methanol are described, including formaldehyde from methanol and acetaldehyde plants. The process for producing acetic acid from ethanol is also outlined.

- 9. India Scenario Single largestalcohol-based chemical being acetic acid. Acetic acid itself is the raw material for the manufacture of several other alcohol-chemicals like ethyl acetate (EA), butyl acetate (BA) acetic anhydride, etc. Ethyl alcohol is also used to produce acetaldehyde and ethylene
