Consumption status of n-propanol

In recent years, the consumption of n-propanol at home and abroad has increased rapidly. In 20 10, the global output of n-propanol was about 270,000 tons, of which the United States accounted for about 55%, and others were mainly concentrated in German, China, Taiwan Province Province of China, South Africa and other countries and regions. Among them, the domestic apparent consumption of 20 10 in China is about 80,000 tons, and the production capacity is 60,000 tons/year, which is mainly a carbonyl synthesis hydrogenation unit of Zibo Nuoao Chemical Co., Ltd., and most other manufacturers get the by-product of isopropanol (2- propanol), so they need to import 20,000-25,000 tons of n-propanol (mainly products from the United States, Taiwan Province Province and South Africa) every year.
