Acrylonitrile: In which industries is it used most? What is the future of acrylonitrile?

Acrylonitrile is produced by oxidation reaction and refining process using propylene and ammonia water as raw materials.Is a kind of organic compounds, chemical formula C3H3N, is a colorless pungent liquid, flammable, the vapor and air can form explosive mixture, in the case of open fire, high heat is easy to cause combustion, and release toxic gas, and oxidant, strong acid, strong base, amine, bromine reaction violently.

It is mainly used as raw material of acrylic fiber and ABS/SAN resin. Besides, it is widely used in the production of acrylamide, pastes and adiponitrile, synthetic rubber,Latex, etc.

Applications

Acrylonitrile is three big synthetic material (plastics, synthetic rubber, synthetic fiber) important raw material, our country acrylonitrile downstream consumption is concentrated in ABS, acrylic and acrylamide three fields, three accounts for about 80% of total consumption of acrylonitrile. In recent years, with the development of household appliances and automobiles, China has become one of the fastest growing countries in the global acrylonitrile market. Downstream products are widely used in household appliances, clothing, automobiles, medicine and other fields in the national economy.

Acrylonitrile is produced by oxidation reaction and refining process of propylene and ammonia. It is widely used in the industrial production of resin and acrylic fiber. Carbon fiber is the application field with rapid growth demand in the future.

Carbon fiber, as one of the important downstream uses of acrylonitrile, is a new material focused on research and development in China. Carbon fiber has become an important part of lightweight materials, and gradually from the past metal materials, in the civil and military fields has become the core application material.

With the continuous development of science and technology, acrylonitrile market presents a great development trend:

1.  propane as raw material of acrylonitrile production line is gradually promoted;
2.  the research of new catalysts is still the research topic of scholars at home and abroad;
3.  large-scale device;
4. energy conservation and emission reduction, process optimization is increasingly important;
5. wastewater treatment has become an important research content.
