Studying of acetone synthesis efficincy from local industrial wast

Abstract

 In this study، acetone was synthesized from the residues of vegetable pickling plants and stone sawmills located in Idlib region. The results obtained showed that stone sawmill waste contained 96%w of calcium carbonate, and pickle factory waste contained 2%v acetic acid. Acetone was synthesized in two steps: The first step is the production of calcium acetate by treating the residues of the vegetable pickling plants. The second step is by adding the waste of stone sawmills at room temperature. The effect of some metal oxides (AL2O3-Fe2O3 -CaO) on increasing the yield of acetone resulting from dry distillation of calcium acetate was studied، and then the identity of the produced acetone was verified using Infrared spectroscopy, It has been proven that using 3% iron oxide gives the highest yield
