Manufacturing Process

1
Feedstock Preparation

Cumene (isopropylbenzene) is produced by alkylation of benzene with propylene. High-purity cumene is fed to the oxidation reactor

2
Cumene Oxidation

Cumene is oxidised with air at 90-130°C in the presence of an initiator to form cumene hydroperoxide (CHP)

3
Acid Cleavage

CHP is cleaved with dilute sulphuric acid at 60-80°C to produce phenol and acetone in the Hock process

4
Neutralisation

The cleavage mixture is neutralised with caustic soda and cooled. The organic and aqueous phases are separated

5
Distillation

Acetone is separated from the reaction mixture by fractional distillation. The crude acetone is collected at 56-57°C

6
Purification

The crude acetone is redistilled through a polishing column to remove trace impurities and achieve 99.5%+ purity

7
QC Testing

Each batch is tested for purity (GC), specific gravity, water content (KFT), acidity, and permanganate fading time

8
Packaging

Acetone is filled into HDPE drums, IBCs, or tankers with nitrogen blanketing to prevent moisture absorption
