Ethyl Acetate Production Plant

Ethyl acetate is colorless transparent liquid, low toxicity, sweet smell, irritating odor at higher concentration, volatile, sensitive to air, can absorb moisture, making it slowly hydrolyzed and acidic reaction. Can be miscible with chloroform, ethanol, acetone and ether, soluble in water (10%ml/ml). Can dissolve some metal salts (such as lithium chloride, cobalt chloride, zinc chloride, iron chloride, etc.) reaction. Relative density 0.902. Melting point -83℃. Boiling point 77℃. Refractive index 1.. Flash point 7.2℃(open cup). Flammable. Vapor can form explosive mixture with air. LD50 (rat, oral) 11.3ml/kg.

Processed in these plants using top quality ingredients, our offered products are highly miscible with diethyl ether, acetone, ethanol & benzene and are widely used in nail polish remover & glues.

There are 4 main prevailing processes for ethyl acetate production, i.e. Direct Esterification Process, Acetaldehyde Condensation Process, Ethanol Dehydration Process and Acetic Acid-Ethylene Addition Process. Each process has its advantages and its applicable services. Our process is based on reactive-distillation esterification, which is mature, low costing and suitable for those with acetic acid feedstock.

FAQ of Ethyl Acetate Plant

How ethyl acetate is manufactured?

Ethyl Acetate Plants are designed mixing acetic acid and ethyl alcohol in a balanced proportion through a preheater to a kettle reboiler for distillation purpose. In this plant, acetic acid and ethyl alcohol is mixed in a balanced proportion through a preheater to a kettle reboiler for distillation purpose. This plant is known for its robust construction and ability continuously running at even high speeds.

Why is Ethyl Acetate a Good Solvent for Extraction?

Ethyl acetate is a commonly used solvent in extraction processes because it has a number of desirable properties.

One of the main reasons that ethyl acetate is a good solvent is that it has a relatively low boiling point. This means that it can be easily removed from a mixture by evaporation, allowing for easy purification of the extracted compounds. Ethyl acetate also has a relatively low toxicity and is classified as a mild irritant, which makes it a safer choice than many other solvents that are commonly used in extractions.

In addition to its low boiling point and low toxicity, ethyl acetate is also a relatively polar solvent, which means that it can dissolve a wide variety of polar compounds. This makes it a versatile choice for extracting a wide range of compounds from various matrices.

Another property that makes ethyl acetate a good solvent for extraction is that it is highly selective. This means that it can effectively extract a specific compound or group of compounds from a mixture, while leaving other compounds behind. This is because ethyl acetate has the ability to form hydrogen bonds with certain functional groups such as carboxyl and hydroxyl group. Additionally, the polar nature of ethyl acetate also enables it to interact with polar compounds. This can be useful in cases where a mixture contains several different compounds and it is necessary to selectively extract one or more of them.

Furthermore, Ethyl acetate can dissolve both lipophilic and hydrophilic compounds, making it useful for extracting compounds from both organic and aqueous matrices. This makes it a useful solvent for extracting compounds from a wide variety of sources, such as plant material, animal tissue, and microorganisms.

Ethyl acetate is also relatively inexpensive compared to other solvents, making it an economical choice for many extraction processes. Additionally, it can be easily purified and recycled, which can further reduce costs.
