Dodecyl Mercaptan Production Cost Breakup By Catalytic Chemical Reaction Method

Details: Germany - based plant Q1 2024  | From $ USD

This report entails the detailed cost evaluation of dodecyl mercaptan production by catalytic chemical reaction method. The preparation of dodecyl mercaptan is initiated by the chemical reaction between hydrogen sulfide and propylene tetramer in the presence of a catalyst. In this reaction, the gaseous hydrogen sulfide and propylene tetramer is passed over boron trifluoride, which serves as a catalyst and results in the production of dodecyl mercaptan as the final product.

Top Producers of Dodecyl Mercaptan

  • Sanshin Chemical 
  • Arkema 
  • ISU
  • Chevron Phillips Chemical

Feedstocks for Dodecyl Mercaptan

Dodecyl mercaptan is prepared by using hydrogen sulfide and propylene tetramer or isobutylene trimer as its major feedstock. There are different factors that can potentially influence the overall procurement of dodecyl mercaptan and its feedstocks on a large scale. Some of the factors include the availability of raw materials from the upstream industries, supply chain stability, production cost, quality assurance, etc. Other factors, such as the demand from the downstream industries, logistics, trade, and governmental policies together play a vital role in determining the procurement of hydrogen sulfide along with propylene tetramer in the global market.
