Download as PDF lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 39 / Tuesday, February 27, 2024 / Notices (b) Petition Content. (1) Substance name: Iso-butanol. The substance is also known as isobutanol, iso butyl alcohol, 2-methyl propan-1-ol, or 2-methyl-1-propanol. (2) Petitioner: OQ Chemicals Corporation, an exporter of iso-butanol. (3) Proposed classification numbers: (i) HTSUS number: 2905.14.50.10. (ii) Schedule B number: 2905.14.5010. (iii) CAS number: 78–83–1. (4) Petition filing dates: (i) Petition filing date for purposes of making a determination: January 25, 2024. (ii) Petition filing date for purposes of section 11.02 of Rev. Proc. 2022–26, as modified by section 3 of Rev. Proc. 2023–20: April 1, 2023. (5) Description from petition: According to the petition, iso-butanol is an isomer of n-butanol. Iso-butanol is a four carbon branched aliphatic alcohol. It is used as a solvent or in the manufacture of esters, such as isobutyl acetate, isobutyl acrylate, and isobutyl methacrylate. Iso-butanol is made from methane and propylene. Taxable chemicals constitute 78.41 percent by weight of the materials used to produce this substance. (6) Process identified in petition as predominant method of production of substance: Iso-butanol is co-produced by hydroformylation of propylene to produce both iso-butyraldehyde and nbutyraldehyde followed by hydrogenation of the aldehyde intermediates to the corresponding isobutanol and n-butanol. An explanation of the predominant method of production: a. Partial oxidation of methane with oxygen to produce synthesis gas, a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen. OQ uses a Partial Oxidation (POX) process that is non catalytic but operates at >1300 deg C and >40 atm pressure. Thus, synthesis gas is produced from methane and oxygen: CH4 + 1⁄2 O2 → CO + 2H2 b. Oxo process: Hydroformylation of propylene with carbon monoxide and hydrogen over a catalyst to produce isobutyraldehyde. (Reaction also produces normal butyraldehyde simultaneously not shown for simplification; stoichiometry is the same for either the iso or the normal aldehyde.) Thus, isobutyraldehyde is produced from propylene and syngas. CO + H2 + CH2 =CH–CH3 → (CH3)2CH–CHO c. Iso-butyraldehyde is hydrogenated with hydrogen over a catalyst. Thus, isobutanol is produced from isobutyraldehyde and hydrogen. (CH3)2-CH–CHO + H2 → (CH3)2CHCH2OH VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:53 Feb 26, 2024 Jkt 262001 (7) Stoichiometric material consumption equation, based on process identified as predominant method of production: CH4 (methane) + 1⁄2 O2 + CH2 = CH– CH3 (propylene) → (CH3)2CHCH2OH (iso-butanol) (8) Tax rate calculated by Petitioner, based on Petitioner’s conversion factors for taxable chemicals used in production of substance: (i) Tax rate: $7.07 per ton. (ii) Conversion factors: 0.22 for methane, 0.57 for propylene. (9) Public docket number: IRS–2024– 0007.
