PRODUCTION OF 1,3-Butanediol
Acetaldol is prepared by acetaldehyde self-condensation in aqueous alkaline solutions.
Acetaldehyde conversion cannot be carried higher than 66.6% because aldol and acetaldehyde combine to yield 2,6-dimethyl-1,3-dioxan-4-ol.
The bound acetaldehyde is held so tenaciously that most commercial aldol is essentially equivalent to 2,6-dimethyl-1,3-dioxan-4-ol: Higher condensation products are often present.
It is difficult to decompose 2,6-dimethyl-1,3-dioxan-4-ol into aldol without simultaneously dehydrating it to crotonaldehyde.
Steam stripping is one of the most practical ways of removing the bound acetaldehyde.
Aldol is led directly to a hydrogenation system where it is reduced in the presence of Raney nickel or other catalysts.
Any of the acetaldehyde or 2,6-dimethyl-1,3-dioxan-4-ol left is reduced to ethanol and 2,4-dimethyl-1,3-dioxane, both of which are efficiency losses for the process.
Low-boilers are striped from the hydrogenated product and pure 1,3-butylene glycol is obtained by distillation under reduced pressure.

Segmentation Analysis of 1,3-Butandiol
Pharmaceutical Grade 1,3-Butandiol To Demonstrate Faster Growth
The pharmaceutical-grade category, under segmentation by product, is expected to showcase the higher CAGR in the 1,3-butylene glycol market during the forecast period.
This is majorly ascribed to the increasing adoption of the pharmaceutical grade in the cosmetic, personal care, and food industries. In recent years, common skin-related diseases, viz. acne, eczema, and seborrheic dermatitis, have increased in prevalence, due to stress, anxiety, alcohol and tobacco consumption, exposure to ultraviolet radiation, and pollution.
Considering such factors, the consumption of the pharmaceutical grade is expected to increase, owing to its usage as a humectant, for the prevention of moisture loss, as well as an emollient and stabilizer in skincare products.
Humectant Category To Generate Highest Revenue
The humectant category held the largest share, based on function, in 2019, and the trend is likely to continue in the 1,3-butylene glycol market.
The compound is vastly used as a humectant in cosmetic and personal care products, such as hair conditioners, body cleansers, facial creams, eye lotions, after-sun lotions, frizz serums, and lip balms.
Humectants have the ability to retain and lock the moisture, when applied on the skin, owing to which they are required in high volumes.
With the growth of the personal care and cosmetics sector across the globe, the consumption of the compound, as a humectant, is expected to increase, in turn, promoting the growth of the 1,3-butylene glycol market.
Cosmetics & Personal Care Products Application To Retain Its Dominance
In 2019, cosmetics and personal care products witnessed the highest consumption of the compound, and this category is expected to retain its dominance throughout the forecast period.
This is attributable to the increasing consumption of 1,3-butylene as a masking agent, humectant, skin conditioning agent, viscosity controller, and solvent, in cosmetic and personal care products.
With the growth of these end-use industries, the consumption of the compound is witnessing a rise, in turn, propelling the 1,3-butylene glycol market.
