Octadecanol Production By Hydrogenation Reaction
Production Cost Report | Chemicals
Details: Germany - based plant Q2 2024 | From $ USD
This report provides an extensive cost evaluation of octadecanol production by hydrogenation reaction. The preparation process begins with the hydrogenation of stearic acid in the presence of a metal catalyst. The reaction is carried in the presence of a mixed metal catalyst such as palladium-tin that catalyzes the hydrogenation of stearic acid, followed by filtration and distillation to obtain octadecanol or octadecane-1-ol as the final product.

- Prakash Chemicals Pvt Ltd
Feedstocks for Octadecanol
Octadecanol or stearyl alcohol is a chemical compound obtained by using stearic acid as its primary raw material. The procurement of octadecanol and its feedstocks is majorly influenced by some of the crucial factors such as its preparation cost, variations in its market prices, availability of the raw materials (including palm/coconut oil for stearic acid), along the logistics and trading activities. Additionally, other factors such as its demand observed in the cosmetics, plastic, and pharmaceutical industries, transportation, stability in the supply chain, economic conditions, and governmental policies play a vital role in governing its procurement in the global market.
