Production process and application of secondary butanol aluminum

Aluminum alkoxide is a widely used basic metal organic chemical raw material, widely used in organic synthesis intermediates and organic synthesis industries such as pharmaceuticals and pesticides. Among them, the market demand for isopropanol aluminum and secondary butanol aluminum is particularly evident. Next, let's enter secondary butanol aluminum.

1. What is aluminum sec-butanol?

Aluminum tri-sec butoxide, also known as aluminum tri-sec butoxide. Secondary butanol aluminum is an aluminum alkoxide salt, which is an important chemical metal organic chemical raw material. Secondary butanol aluminum is a colorless or light yellow viscous liquid (generally high-purity secondary butanol aluminum is colorless), easily soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol, isopropanol, toluene, etc. It is flammable, easily hygroscopic, highly hydrolyzable, and decomposes into aluminum hydroxide and secondary butanol when exposed to water.

Molecular formula of aluminum sec-butanol: 3 (C4H9O). Al

Molecular weight of aluminum sec-butanol: 246.32

2. Production process of secondary butanol aluminum

Taking the production process of Yangzhou Zhongtianli New Materials Co., Ltd. as an example, the production process of 3N+2-butanol aluminum is as follows:

After throwing 3N aluminum ingots into aluminum sheets, the aluminum sheets react with a 1:3 mass ratio of secondary butanol, and the reaction is complete. After distillation and purification, the material is discharged. Obtain aluminum secondary butanol with a purity of about 99.95%.

3. Application field of secondary butanol aluminum

Secondary butanol aluminum is mainly used as an active catalyst and carrier, inorganic film, reducing agent for aldehydes ketones, oxidizing agent for aldehydes ketones, gelling agent for ink and paint, fabric waterproofing agent, aluminum composite lubricating grease, etc.

4. Preparation of alumina from secondary butanol aluminum

In addition, the alcohol salt hydrolysis method is also an advanced preparation process for high-purity alumina at present. After hydrolysis of secondary butanol aluminum, pseudo boehmite can be obtained, and secondary butanol can be recovered during the hydrolysis process. Currently, the recovery efficiency of Yangzhou Zhongtianli can reach around 75% -80%. Pseudo boehmite is then calcined to obtain high-purity alumina, usually obtained below 600 ℃ γ- Aluminum oxide, obtained above 1200 ℃ α- Aluminum oxide. At present, Yangzhou Zhongtianli's alcohol salt hydrolysis method for preparing high-purity aluminum oxide mainly uses isopropanol aluminum, and the price of isopropanol is relatively low.

5. Is secondary butanol aluminum a hazardous material?

So is aluminum sec-butanol a hazardous chemical? Due to its flammable nature, it is classified as a hazardous chemical and requires special transportation vehicles for hazardous chemicals.

Yangzhou Zhongtianli New Materials Co., Ltd. is a high-tech enterprise that has been focusing on the research and development and industrialization of high-purity materials for 15 years. The purity of secondary butanol aluminum produced by it can reach 99.99%, and micro customization services can be provided according to customer requirements.
