Under the environmental protection policy, the outdated production capacity of potassium ethoxide will be phased out at an accelerated pace

Potassium ethoxide is also called potassium ethoxide. According to different product forms, potassium ethoxide can be divided into solid potassium ethoxide and liquid potassium ethoxide. The appearance of solid potassium ethoxide is a light yellow to yellow-brown powder. Generally, the finished product is light yellow. Mainly ingredients. Potassium ethoxide is stable at room temperature and pressure, and can react with water, air, and carbon dioxide. Potassium ethoxide is toxic and carcinogenic. In 2020, potassium ethoxide was selected into the “Market Access Negative List (2020 Edition)”. Under environmental protection and regulatory policies , the outdated production capacity of potassium ethoxide will be eliminated at an accelerated pace.

As an important pharmaceutical and pesticide intermediate, potassium ethoxide can be used to produce ethyl diphenylphosphate, 2,5-dithiobiurea, ethyl benzoate, cis-2-butene, and trans-2-butene. , p-Ethylbenzoic acid, 2,4-dimethoxybenzonitrile, 5-benzyloxy-2-nitrophenylpyruvic acid, potassium phenolate, p-nitrophenol, 2,4,6-triphenyl Triazine, ethyl anisate and other products.

From the perspective of the industrial chain, the upstream of the potassium ethoxide industry chain is the raw material supply layer, involving raw materials such as methanol, potassium, acetone, and thallium ethanol. Affected by the new coronavirus epidemic, global inflation and other factors, the prices of ethanol and potassium metal have risen, driving ethanol The cost of potassium production has increased; the midstream of the industrial chain is the production layer of potassium ethoxide, and the main products are solid potassium ethoxide; the downstream of the industrial chain is the application layer. As one of the chemical raw materials, potassium ethoxide has a wide range of applications, including medicine, pesticides, scientific research, and spices. and other fields.

According to the “2022-2026 China Potassium Ethanol Industry Market Monitoring and Future Development Prospects Research Report released by the Industrial Research Center, my country is a major ethanol producer. From January to June 2022, the output of my country’s edible and industrial ethanol industry reached about 3.4 million tons, a year-on-year increase of nearly 360,000 tons. Ethanol is a key raw material for potassium ethoxide, and its production continues to expand, which will lay a solid raw material foundation for the development of the potassium ethoxide market.

In foreign markets, suppliers of potassium ethoxide include BASF of Germany, Evonik of Germany, and Alfa Aesar of the United States. In the domestic market, there are many suppliers of potassium ethoxide, including Hubei Coward Chemical, Nantong Runfeng Petrochemical, and Hubei Xinkang Pharmaceutical and chemical industry, Shandong Kaiyue Chemical Co., Ltd., etc. After years of development, my country has become one of the major producers of potassium ethoxide in the world. However, due to limitations in preparation technology and research and development levels, my country’s potassium ethoxide industry still needs to improve costs and efficiency, automation levels, energy conservation, green production, and brand building. Explore further.

Industry analysts said that under increasingly strict environmental protection regulations, the backward production capacity of potassium ethoxide will be eliminated at an accelerated pace, and the industry will develop towards high-end, Upgrading in the direction of greening and energy conservation. my country is a major producer of potassium ethoxide and has sufficient supply of raw materials for potassium ethoxide. However, in terms of production, my country’s level of automated and green production of potassium ethoxide is low, and the potassium ethoxide market has a large room for improvement in the future.
