Dodecanoic Acid Production By Hydrolysis Method
Production Cost Report | Chemicals
Details: Germany - based plant Q1 2024 | From $ USD
This report proffers the thorough economics of dodecanoic acid production by hydrolysis method. The preparation of dodecanoic acid is carried out by the hydrolysis of natural oils and fats on a large scale. The process is initiated by hydrolyzing coconut oil in the presence of water and a catalyst in an autoclave under controlled conditions. In this reaction, coconut oil is hydrolyzed in the presence of a catalyst, such as sodium hydroxide in ethanol, which catalyzes the reaction at a temperature of 250 °C under 5 MPa and yields dodecanoic acid or lauric acid as the end product.

- Wilmar International Ltd.
Feedstocks for Dodecanoic Acid
Dodecanoic acid is mainly prepared by using coconut oil as its primary feedstock. The procurement of coconut oil in the agrochemical market is driven by different factors related to its market dynamics. Factors such as the harvesting period of coconut, harvesting rate, and cost of harvesting altogether help in determining the production and supply chain stability in the downstream industries. Similarly, variations in the supply chain directly impact the demand in the downstream industries and impact the market price of coconut to a great extent. Moreover, other factors such as logistics, transportation, trade, and governmental policies, along with variations in market price altogether, help in governing the overall procurement of dodecanoic acid in the global market.
