Isopropanolsisinyibilikisi esisetyenziswa kakhulu kwimizi-mveliso, kwaye imathiriyeli yayo ekrwada ubukhulu becala iphuma kumafutha efosili.Ezona zinto zixhaphakileyo ekrwada yi-n-butane kunye ne-ethylene, ezithathwe kwi-oyile ekrwada.Ukongeza, i-isopropanol inokuthi yenziwe kwipropylene, imveliso ephakathi ye-ethylene.

Inkqubo yokuveliswa kwe-isopropanol iyinkimbinkimbi, kwaye izinto eziluhlaza kufuneka ziqhube uchungechunge lweempendulo zamachiza kunye namanyathelo okucoca ukufumana imveliso efunwayo.Ngokubanzi, inkqubo yokuvelisa ibandakanya i-dehydrogenation, i-oxidation, i-hydrogenation, ukuhlukana kunye nokuhlanjululwa, njl.

Okokuqala, i-n-butane okanye i-ethylene i-dehydrogenated ukufumana ipropylene.Emva koko, ipropylene i-oxidized ukufumana i-acetone.I-acetone ke i-hydrogenated ukufumana isopropanol.Ekugqibeleni, i-isopropanol idinga ukuhlukana kunye nokuhlanjululwa kwamanyathelo ukufumana imveliso ecocekileyo.

Ukongeza, i-isopropanol inokuthi yenziwe kwezinye izinto eziluhlaza, ezifana neswekile kunye ne-biomass.Nangona kunjalo, ezi zinto zingasetyenziswanga kakhulu ngenxa yesivuno esiphantsi kunye neendleko eziphezulu.

Izinto ezisetyenziswayo zokuvelisa i-isopropanol zivela ikakhulu kumafutha e-fossil, angadli kuphela izixhobo ezingenakuphinda zihlaziywe kodwa zibangele iingxaki zokusingqongileyo.Ke ngoko, kuyimfuneko ukuphuhlisa imathiriyeli entsha kunye neenkqubo zokuvelisa ukunciphisa ukusetyenziswa kwamafutha efosili kunye nongcoliseko lokusingqongileyo.Okwangoku, abanye abaphandi baye baqala ukuhlolisisa ukusetyenziswa kwezixhobo ezihlaziyiweyo (i-biomass) njengezinto eziluhlaza kwimveliso ye-isopropanol, enokubonelela ngeendlela ezintsha zophuhliso oluzinzileyo lweshishini le-isopropanol.
