As an important organic intermediate, methylallyl alcohol (MAO) industry has broad development prospects.

Methalyl alcohol, referred to as MAO, also known as isobutenol, is an organic compound with the molecular formula C4H8O. It appears as a colorless and transparent liquid. It is flammable, toxic, irritating, easily soluble in water, and miscible in Ethanol and ether are hazardous chemicals.

Methallyl alcohol production methods include isobutylene chloride hydrolysis and methacrolein hydrogenation. The isobutylene chloride hydrolysis method is a traditional production method of methylallyl alcohol. It refers to the process of reacting isobutylene with chlorine to generate isobutylene chlorine, and then hydrolyzing isobutylene chlorine under the action of sodium hydroxide and a catalyst to generate methylallyl alcohol. This method It has the disadvantages of many by-products and serious environmental pollution; the hydrogen reduction method is an environmentally friendly technical route, which refers to the process of hydrogenating methacrolein and hydrogen to generate methylallyl alcohol. It has the advantages of less by-products and pollution. Small and other advantages, development prospects are better.

According to the “Research Report on Market Monitoring and Future Development Prospects of China’s Methacrylic Alcohol (MAO) Industry from 2023 to 2027” released by the Industrial Research Center It shows that methallyl alcohol is an important organic intermediate that can be widely used in synthetic resins, spices, medicines, pesticides, coatings, polymer monomers, surfactants, food additives, polycarboxylic acid reducing agents, etc. Liquids, etc. Among them, polycarboxylate water-reducing agent is the largest application field of methylallyl alcohol in China. Methallyl alcohol is mainly synthesized with ethylene oxide as the macromonomer of polycarboxylic acid water-reducing agent, methylallyl alcohol polyoxyethylene ether. (HEPG). Polycarboxylate water-reducing agent is a new generation of high-efficiency concrete water-reducing agent. Its domestic production capacity will exceed 2.6 million tons in 2022. Therefore, the domestic production capacity of methallyl alcohol in 2022 will be approximately 120,000 tons.

There are many methylallylic alcohol companies in my country. The main companies include CITIC Guoan Chemical, Shandong Yidali Chemical, Hubei Eco Chemical, Shanghai Aladdin Biochemical Technology, Shanghai Myrel Biochemical, Shanghai Yishi Chemical, Ningbo Jinlai Chemical, Qixianghua Lixin Materials, Shandong Bairui Chemical, Suzhou Tomorrow Chemical, etc. have low industry concentration. At present, the production method used by local companies to produce methallyl alcohol is mostly the isobutylene chloride hydrolysis method. This method is highly polluting, causing companies to face greater pressure on environmental protection. In the future, companies will need to continue to upgrade production technology.

Industry analysts said that methallyl alcohol is an important organic intermediate and is currently used in polycarboxylate water-reducing agents. , pesticides, spices, coatings and other production scenarios are widely used, especially the application scenarios of polycarboxylate water-reducing agents. With the continuous development of application fields, the production capacity of methylallyl alcohol continues to increase with the continuous increase in demand, and the industry shows good development prospects. However, the current domestic production technology of methallyl alcohol is still relatively backward. In the future, local enterprises will need to accelerate the improvement of their technical level, and the industry still has huge room for growth.
