How Is Acetone Produced? Acetone is produced through various industrial processes, with the most common method being the catalytic dehydrogenation of isopropanol. Here's an overview of the primary process used to produce acetone: 1. Dehydrogenation of Isopropanol: The most widely used method to produce acetone is the dehydrogenation of isopropanol, also known as the "cumene process." This process involves several steps: a. Production of Cumene: Cumene (isopropylbenzene) is produced from benzene and propylene in the presence of a catalyst such as aluminum chloride. This results in the formation of cumene and hydrogen chloride as byproducts. b. Oxidation of Cumene to Cumene Hydroperoxide: Cumene is then oxidized using air to form cumene hydroperoxide, typically using a catalytic process with acid or base catalysts. c. Cleavage of Cumene Hydroperoxide: Cumene hydroperoxide is cleaved using acid catalysts to yield phenol and acetone. This reaction results in the simultaneous production of phenol, which is used as a valuable chemical in various industries. d. Distillation and Separation: The mixture of phenol and acetone is then separated using distillation techniques. Acetone is obtained as a separate product from the mixture. 2. Other Processes: Apart from the cumene process, there are alternative methods for acetone production, including: a. Propylene Oxidation: Acetone can be produced through the direct oxidation of propylene using air or oxygen as the oxidizing agent. This method yields propylene oxide and acetone as products. b. Acetaldehyde Condensation: In this method, acetaldehyde is condensed and dehydrated to form acetone. This process is less common compared to the cumene process. c. Bio-based Production: Research is ongoing to develop bio-based methods of acetone production, using renewable resources like biomass or microorganisms that can convert sugars into acetone. d. Repurposing Byproducts: Acetone can also be obtained as a byproduct in various industrial processes, such as the production of phenol, where acetone is produced alongside phenol from cumene hydroperoxide. The cumene process remains the most dominant and economical method for producing acetone on an industrial scale. The choice of production method depends on factors such as availability of feedstocks, economics, environmental considerations, and desired product yields. Is Acetone Safe?

ShatterVac® chambers are not compatible with stabilization resin (i.e. Cactus Juice™, Gator Venom™, Minwax™ etc.), acetone, acrylic based monomers or polymers. The lid may be cleaned with soapy water and low strength cleaning agents. GlassVac® chambers are compatible with all solvents and stabilization resins. We only recommend and warranty GlassVac® chambers for resin infusion and wood stabilization.The lid may be cleaned with any solvent or cleaning agent. See FAQ at the top for product safety warnings. Pump Warranty Information: Customers using solvents such as stabilization resins (MinWax™, Gator Venom™ etc.), alcohol and other polar solvents must use the vacuum pumps in conjunction with a cold trap for evacuations in excess of 5 minutes. (Exludes Cactus Juice™) If the consumer is using the pump for prolonged periods of time exceeding 5 minutes we require that a cold trap is used or the pump warranty is void. These stabilization resins have the ability to break down the internal components of the pump that are plastic resulting in a seized motor voiding all warranties. When evacuation exceeds 5 minutes these solvents begin to vaporize and then re-condense in the vacuum pump reservoir. Once enough solvent re-condenses in the pump displacing the oil the plastic internal components may begin to warp, melt or seize. The use of a cold trap will condense the vapors prior to making their way to the vacuum pump preventing pump damage due to excessive use. Furthermore, Minwax Wood Hardener™ is not to be used with any vacuum pumps, EVER. (A seized motor will result within the first use.) To prevent these issues from happening to your process, change the Oil after each vacuum pump use, Even if the use time is only 5min.

2LB Apollo Top Fill Closed Loop Extractor
***Note: Butane(Solvent) not included with systems unless ordered with dropdown menu or separately. Any order with butane WILL NOT SHIP EXPEDITED. DISCLAIMER: This unit is intended for LEGAL purposes only, to be used in accordance with local laws and ordinances. Use only in extremely well ventilated areas. Check with your local fire marshal for guidance when operating indoors 2lb Closed Loop Reclamation Extraction System (System comes with 1 yr. limited warranty) The 2lb closed loop hydrocarbon extraction system performs botanical extraction within a sealed, vacuumed system. Utilizing a top-fill input, solvent washes thru the material column, collecting oils as it passes over the material. Oil bearing solvent is collected in the collection base under the material column. Once collected, solvent is distilled and recovered, leaving the oils in the collection base. This is a passive unit that utilizes pressure differences created by manipulating temperature to move solvent. This unit can be upgraded into an Active recovery unit by purchasing the upgrade kit. TRS21 Active Closed Loop Recovery Kit Extractor Configurations: Explorer: Our standard, most economical setup, perfect for the entry level extractor on a budget. Comes with a welded bottom base and standard LP tank. This model has minimal features to keep cost low, while providing the necessary equipment to get the job done. Professional: This model features upgrades to help produce a higher quality extract. Solvent is input into the material column with a showerhead endcap, ensuring the full material column is saturated with solvent. The Professional comes with a sleeved spool, allowing users to utilize dry ice to freeze the material column. This will help lock in fats and waxes to the material. An inline ball valve is used to allow solvent to be suspended in the material column, as well as closing the collection base off during recovery. Upon completion of the run, extract removal is made simple by adding a removable bottom to the collection base. Elite: The Elite series is our fully upgraded Apollo model. The elite series adds a level of dependability needed for those seeking to produce the highest quality extracts. It features a larger bore on valves and hoses, all American made instrumentation valves by SSP, an AVCO ultra-low temperature inline ball valve, sleeved dewaxing column, jacketed collection base, and a stainless steel LP tank. The Elite series boasts increased efficiency on both solvent input and recovery by bumping up all valves and lines to 3/8” JIC. The stainless steel LP tank is able to be opened and cleaned, making solvent contamination a non-issue. The jacketed collection gives precision during recovery, allowing a heated fluid to be circulated around the base. This method keeps temperature both accurate and consistent. *NOTE* This model requires a heater circulator or chiller Explorer Professional Elite BVV 316SS Full Bore Valves Welded Bottom Base BVV 316SS Full Bore Valves Showerhead Dewaxer Ball Valve Splatter Platter Base SSP Valves Showerhead Dewaxer AVCO Ball Valve HP Clamps Jacketed Base/Platter SSLP 3/8" Valves & Hoses Unit Includes: Collection Base 10"x10" Welded Bottom Base Assembled 10" extractor lid 3"x36" Material column with reducer & top cap #30 LP tank 60" High Pressure PTFE Braided SS Hose 10" clamp, (2)3" clamps and a 1.5" clamp with gaskets Instruction Manual Specifications: 3"x 36" 304 Stainless Steel Material Tube 2lb (900g) 316 Stainless Steel Fully Encapsulated Miniature Ball Valves System Rated to 150PSI Multiple port connections for _" 316 Stainless JIC 37 Degree 304 Stainless Steel Base Container 10" diameter by 10" tall Tri-Clamps at all interfaces make for a high pressure, easy clean unit.

1/2" x 1/8" Wall - Heavy Duty Silicone Tubing For Flow
Silicone Tubing (**Note: This tubing is only for flow and is NOT vacuum rated) The most outstanding properties of silicone tubing are its flexibility and resistance to temperature extremes. These, plus its good electrical properties and ability to self-extinguish, make silicone tubing an excellent choice for appliances and computers Peroxide-cured silicone contains no sulfur or other acid-producing chemicals, thereby eliminating the possibility of staining, corroding, or deteriorating materials it contacts. It is extremely resistant to ozone and U.V. over long time periods. Care is recommended in the selection of fittings and clamps for silicone as sharply barbed fittings or unlined metal clamps could tear into the tubing wall and possibly cause a failure. silicone may be low-pressure steam sterilized in-line or autoclaved at up to 250°F in a normal autoclaving cycle. However, if exposed to repeated steam sterilization or long-term high temperature or pressure, silicone will eventually relax and become gummy. It should then be replaced. Please call or email BVV to request different sizes and thickness (1/16" to 3/4"ID) - Colors for industrial applications are available through minimum order. Key Features: Made from FDA-sanctioned ingredients Able to resist extreme temperature variation: -100°F to 500°F Translucent natural color for visual contact with the flow resilient, stretchable, and resistance to compression set Odorless, tasteless and inert Good electrical and weatherability properties - resists U.V., ozone, gases, and moisture Certified by the National Sanitation Foundation (NSF-51) for food equipment materials MADE IN THE U.S.A.
