【Ten Years of Great Progress in Chemical Technology】026-2023 Green Catalytic Synthesis of 2-Amino-2-methyl-1-propanol via Independent Intellectual Property Rights

Thread Content

Recently, Hebei Xuyang Energy Co., Ltd., in collaboration with Beijing Xuyang Technology Co., Ltd., successfully developed a green catalytic synthesis technique for 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol that features independent intellectual property rights. This technique significantly improves the selectivity of the intermediate products; the one-way conversion rate of the reaction can reach over 99%, while the selectivity of the final product is above 95%. It represents a globally pioneering green and environmentally friendly process that does not rely on nitration. Hebei Xuyang Energy Co., Ltd. is the only company aside from Angus Chemical Company in the United States to possess this production technology, thereby breaking through foreign technical barriers and filling the gap in domestic self-produced products. At present, the company has built a demonstration plant with an annual production capacity of 350 tons. The plant operates stably, and its products are sold both domestically and internationally, finding wide use in areas such as high-end coating additives, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and metal processing. In line with market demand, the company will continue to expand its production capacity by building a facility with an annual production capacity of 5,000 tons. The total investment for this project is estimated at around 300 million yuan; the annual output value is expected to exceed 300 million yuan, while annual profits and taxes will amount to 100 million yuan. This initiative will create 70 new job opportunities, help enhance the company’s industrial foundation, boost the internal development momentum of the fine chemicals industry, and provide technological support for the innovative development of our city.
