Market Research and investment prospect analysis of γ-butyrolactone

γ- Butyrolactone (GBL) is a solvent with high boiling point, strong solubility, good electrical performance and stability. The product is transparent and oily. It is completely miscible with water. It is soluble in ethanol, ether, benzene and acetone. It can dissolve many organic and inorganic compounds. The product has high safety, low toxicity, excellent stability and conductivity.

γ- Butyrolactone has a wide range of applications and can be used to produce a-pyrrolidone, N-methylpyrrolidone, polyvinylpyrrolidone and acetyl γ- Butyrolactone and other chemical products can be used as anesthetics and sedatives in the pharmaceutical industry, can synthesize ciprofloxacin and interferon, and are intermediates of vitamins and Cyclopropylamine; In agriculture and forestry, it can produce intermediates such as plant growth agents and pesticides; In addition, the product can also be used in antioxidant, plasticizer, extractant, absorbent, dispersant, color fixing agent, coagulant, battery, capacitor manufacturing and many other fields.

Industrial production γ- The methods of butyrolactone mainly include furfural method, 1,4-butanediol dehydrogenation method, maleic anhydride hydrogenation method and succinic acid hydrogenation method. Among them, 1,4-butanediol dehydrogenation method and maleic anhydride hydrogenation method are the two main methods in China.

γ- Butyrolactone was first developed in Europe and the United States. BASF and GAF are the most well-known enterprises in the world. Since the 21st century, with the development of China γ- The production technology of butyrolactone has made a breakthrough, and the number of production enterprises is increasing day by day.

The positive factors for the development of the industry include: γ- Butyrolactone is widely used downstream. In recent years, the downstream N-methylpyrrolidone, medicine, battery and other industries have developed rapidly, promoting the expansion of product demand scale; More and more enterprises extend γ- Butyrolactone industry chain to promote the continuous upgrading of the industry. The main challenges facing the development of the industry come from: the increasing market supply capacity and the intensification of product market competition; The development of traditional chemical industry has slowed down, the pressure of environmental protection has increased, and the industrial environment has tightened.
