Adipic Acid is a white-coloured crystalline powder-like compound, with a formula of (CH2)4(COOH)2. Rarely found in a natural setting, the chemical is extensively manufactured on a commercial basis. Historically prepared by oxidizing different fats, Adipic Acid is made by way of mixing cyclohexanol with cyclohexanone into the so-called ketone-alcohol oil, followed by the latter’s oxidiation with nitric acid. Other routes involve the carbonylation of butadiene, new single-step processes, alongside the methods based on green chemistry’s principles.
Nearly 2.5 billion kilos of Adipic Acid are produced yearly, with major end-users being nylon 6-6, plasticizers, polyurethanes, foods and other applications. There exist a plenty of the top and niche firms earning bread by playing in the Adipic Acid field. These include, among others, Asahi Kasei Corp., BASF SE, Invista, BASF Corp., Lanxess AG, Liaoyang Petrochemical, PetroChina Co. Ltd., Rhodia SA, Solutia Inc., Radici Partecipazioni SpA, and Sumitomo Chemical Co. Ltd.
