- Butanol or butyl
alcohol (sometimes also called biobutanol when produced biologically),
is a primary alcohol with a 4 carbon structure and the molecular formula
of C4H10O.
- It belongs to
the higher alcohols and branched-chain alcohols.
- It is primarily used
as a solvent, as an intermediate in chemical synthesis, and as a
fuel.
- Butanol isomers, due
to their different structures, have somewhat different melting and
boiling points.
- All are moderately
miscible in water, less so than ethanol, and more so than the higher
(longer carbon chain) alcohols.
- This is because all
alcohols have a hydroxyl group which makes them polar which in turn
tends to promote solubility in water.
- At the same time the
carbon chain of the alcohol resists solubility in water.
- Methanol, ethanol
and propane, are fully miscible in water because the hydroxyl group
predominates while butanol is moderately miscible because of the balance
between the two opposing solubility trends.
- The most common
process starts with propane, which is run through an hydroformylation
reaction to form butanal, which is then reduced with hydrogen to
butanol.
- Butanol can
also be produced by fermentation of biomass by bacteria.
- The fuel is butanol;
it can be derived from lignocellulosic materials, which are plant
biomass parts that range from woody stems and straw to agricultural
residues, corn fiber and husks, all containing in large part cellulose
and some lignin.
- A large part of the
n-Butanol produced is converted into derivatives for use as
solvents in the coatings industry.
- N-Butanol is an
eminently suitable solvent for acid-curable lacquers and baking finishes
derived from urea melamine or phenolic resins.
