The process "acetanilide, at plant, GLO" is modelled for the production of acetanilide from aniline. Raw materials are modelled with a stoechiometric calculation. Emissions are estimated. Energy consumptions, infrastructure and transports are calculated with standard values.
Acetanilide (C6H5NHCOCH3; CAS 103-84-4, N-phenylacetamide, acetylaniline) is a colourless, glossy, crystalline material. Acetanilide is produced by heating aniline with acetic acid, acetic anhydride, or acetyl chloride.
C6H7N + C2H4O2 → C8H9NO + H2O

Undefined unit processes (UPRs) are the unlinked, multi-product activity datasets that form the basis for all of the system models available in the ecoinvent database. This is the way the datasets are obtained and entered into the database by the data providers. These activity datasets are useful for investigating the environmental impacts of a specific activity (gate-to-gate), without regard to its upstream or downstream impacts.
