什么是乙酸?
醋酸,又称甲烷羧酸、醋酸,是一种有刺激性气味、有酸味的液体。它可以透过发酵、乙醇氧化或化学合成来生产。它也可以透过碳水化合物和脂肪的分解来製造,有助于将血液的酸度维持在狭窄的范围内。其特征是透明、无色液体,具有强烈的醋味,对组织和金属有腐蚀性。它是一种极性溶剂,可以溶解许多极性和非极性化合物。与醇反应生成酯,与金属反应生成乙酸盐,与碱反应生成乙酸盐。它在某些医药产品(如维生素、抗生素和其他药物)的生产中用作溶剂。它也用作合成活性药物成分 (API) 的试剂,例如乙酰水杨水杨酸(阿斯匹灵)和对乙酰氨基酚。
COVID-19大流行的爆发对醋酸产业造成了重大影响,给许多国家带来了前所未有的挑战。乙酸需求减少主要是由于工业活动放缓和许多製造厂关闭。这次疫情严重影响了纺织、汽车和建筑等产业,这些产业是醋酸的主要消费领域。这导致乙酸的产量和消耗量显着减少。疫情对醋酸产业的影响也反映在供应链中断上。运输和物流的限制扰乱了原料供应和成品交付,导致醋酸产量减少。边境关闭和国际贸易减少也对该行业产生了重大影响。儘管该行业面临挑战,但一些公司能够适应不断变化的市场条件。他们实现产品供应多元化,并专注于生产大流行期间需求量大的其他化学品,例如消毒剂和消毒剂。
越来越多地使用乙酸作为生产各种化学品(包括乙酸乙烯酯、乙酸酐和乙酸酯)的原料,加上化学工业的显着增长,这是加强全球市场成长的主要因素之一。此外,醋酸在涂料、润滑脂、聚酯和密封剂製造中的使用不断增加,应用于电子、汽车、纺织和包装等不同垂直行业,有利于市场的成长。此外,乙酸在加工食品的製备、储存和保存中的使用不断增加,对市场产生了积极影响。除此之外,由于轻质且可回收的聚对苯二甲酸乙二醇酯(PET)瓶的日益普及,越来越多地采用乙酸来生产精对苯二甲酸(PTA),这也促进了市场的成长。此外,汽车工业越来越多地采用乙酸来生产防冻液和冷却液。再加上快速城市化和收入水平上涨导致豪华车销量不断增长,正在为市场创造积极的前景。除此之外,醋的消费量不断增加,因为它有助于促进体重管理、维持血压、调节血糖和胆固醇水平,从而刺激了醋生产中对乙酸的需求。此外,领先的製造商正在投资研发 (R&D) 项目,以最大限度地减少能源消耗、降低整体营运成本并确保提高生产效率。

What is Acetic Acid?
Acetic acid, also known as methane carboxylic acid and ethanoic acid, is a pungent-smelling liquid that has a sour taste. It can be produced by fermentation, oxidation of ethanol, or by chemical synthesis. It can also be manufactured by the breakdown of carbohydrates and fats, and it helps to maintain the acidity of the blood within a narrow range. It is characterized by a clear, colorless liquid, has a strong odor of vinegar and is corrosive to tissues and metals. It is a polar solvent and can dissolve many polar and nonpolar compounds. It can react with alcohols to form esters, with metals to form acetates, and with bases to form acetate salts. It is used as a solvent in the production of certain pharmaceutical products, such as vitamins, antibiotics, and other drugs. It is also utilized as a reagent in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), such as acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) and acetaminophen.
The COVID-19 pandemic outbreak caused a significant impact on the acetic acid industry and imposed unprecedented challenges on numerous countries. The reduced demand for acetic acid was primarily due to the slowdown in industrial activities and the closure of many manufacturing plants. The pandemic severely affected industries, such as textiles, automotive, and construction, which are major consumers of acetic acid. This led to a significant reduction in the production and consumption of acetic acid. The impact of the pandemic on the acetic acid industry was also felt in terms of supply chain disruptions. The restrictions on transportation and logistics disrupted the supply of raw materials and the delivery of finished products, leading to a decrease in the production of acetic acid. The closure of borders and the decrease in international trade also had a significant impact on the industry. Despite the challenges faced by the industry, some companies were able to adapt to the changing market conditions. They diversified their product offerings and focused on the production of other chemicals that were in high demand during the pandemic, such as sanitizers and disinfectants.
The increasing use of acetic acid as a feedstock in the production of various chemicals, including vinyl acetate, acetic anhydride, and acetate esters, in confluence with significant growth in the chemical industry, represents one of the major factors strengthening the market growth around the world. Moreover, the rising utilization of acetic acid in the manufacturing of coatings, greases, polyesters, and sealants, which finds application in different industry verticals, such as electronics, automobiles, textiles, and packaging, is favoring the growth of the market. In addition, the growing usage of acetic acid in the preparation, storage, and preservation of processed food products is influencing the market positively. Apart from this, the increasing adoption of acetic acid for producing purified terephthalic acid (PTA) on account of the rising popularity of lightweight and recyclable polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles is contributing to the market growth. Furthermore, there is an increase in the adoption of acetic acid in the automotive industry for producing anti freeze and coolant fluids. This, coupled with the growing sales of luxury vehicles on account of rapid urbanization and inflating income levels is creating a positive outlook for the market. Besides this, the rising consumption of vinegar as it helps in promoting weight management, maintaining blood pressure, and regulating blood sugar and cholesterol levels, is catalyzing the demand for acetic acid in the manufacturing of vinegar. Additionally, leading manufacturers are investing in research and development (R&D) projects to minimize energy consumption, lower overall operating costs and ensure increased production efficiency.
