87.51 percent by weight of the materials 

used to produce this substance. 

(6) Process identified in petition as 

predominant method of production of 

substance: The predominant method of 

production is aldol condensation of 

acetone. Aldol condensation is a twostep process in which an aldol reaction 

forms an aldol product and a 

dehydration reaction removes water to 

form the final product. The process uses 

acetone in condensation, dehydration, 

and hydrogenation steps. Acetone is 

passed over a strong base catalyst to 

form diacetone alcohol, then dehydrated 

to mesityl oxide, and subsequently 

hydrogenated to methyl isobutyl ketone. 

Generally, the process forms coproduced methyl isobutyl ketone, 

methyl isobutyl carbinol, di-isobutyl 

ketone and, to a lesser extent, diisobutyl carbinol. 

(7) Stoichiometric material 

consumption equation, based on 

process identified as predominant 

method of production: 

3(C3H6 (propylene)) + H2O → C9H18O 

(di-isobutyl ketone) + H2

(8) Tax rate calculated by Petitioner, 

based on Petitioner’s conversion factors 

for taxable chemicals used in 

production of substance: 

(i) Tax rate: $8.67 per ton. 

(ii) Conversion factors: 0.89 for 

propylene.
