2-hydroxy-4'-(2-hydroxyethoxy)-2-methylpropiophenone (made by reaction of 3-(4-(2-hydroxyethoxy)phenyl)-2-methylbut-3-en-2-ol and oxygen)

Process description: The reaction of 3-(4-(2-hydroxyethoxy)phenyl)-2-methylbut-3-en-2-ol and oxygen produces the main product 2-hydroxy-4'-(2-hydroxyethoxy)-2-methylpropiophenone. For this purpose, the process consumes hydrochloric acid, oxygen, and 3-(4-(2-hydroxyethoxy)phenyl)-2-methylbut-3-en-2-ol. Utilities consumed comprise thermal energy, electricity, unspecific inorganic chemical, cement, and disposal of cement. Carbon dioxide is produced as by-product. Utility demands in form of thermal energy and electricity are estimated according to the chemical park in Gendorf. For each kg of chemical product, 1.2 MJ electricity and 2 MJ thermal energy are required. A conversion rate of 95% is assumed. Process wastes are treated in municipal waste incinerators. Dataset type is technology-specific (simplified extension layer). Allocation type is no allocation needed in this unit process. In case of energy co-production, allocation via avoided burden is applied for the co-produced energy. CAS RN is 106797-53-9. All datasets are based on the attributional LCA approach and the methodology defined in the cm.chemicals methodology document.
