Acetyl Chloride Production Cost Reports

Acetyl Chloride production cost report provides a comprehensive analysis and know-how for setting up an Acetyl Chloride production plant. The study covers all the requisite aspects that one needs to know for the production of Acetyl Chloride. This includes manufacturing processes, raw material requirements, utility requirements, infrastructure requirements, machinery and technology requirements, manpower requirements, packaging requirements, transportation requirements, etc.

Acetyl Chloride is a colorless chemical compound, which is mainly composed of one carbon, three hydrogen, one oxygen, and one chlorine atom. The chemical is a fuming liquid compound with a pungent odor. It is an acyl chloride and is functionally related to acetic acid. Its melting and boiling point is measured around -112.7 °C and 51 °C, respectively. The compound violently decomposes when it reacts with water or alcohol. Acetyl Chloride is miscible in certain chemical solvents, including benzene, chloroform, petroleum ether, and glacial acetic acid. It is soluble in carbon tetrachloride, ether, acetic acid, and acetone.

On decomposing under fire conditions, the chemical emits carbon oxides and hydrogen chloride gas. Acetyl Chloride is a corrosive chemical compound and is corrosive to metals. The chemical can undergo a chemical reaction with decalin and aluminium trichloride to obtain tricyclic enol ether. Acetyl Chloride is mainly associated with the chemical industry. It is primarily incorporated in synthesizing various chemical compounds. It is used in synthesizing aromatic compounds along with certain alcohols and amines through Friedel-Crafts reaction and esterification.

Acetyl Chloride is also used in acetylation reactions, where an acetyl group is introduced into the base reactants, which generates a new chemical compound. It can undergo acetylation with anilines, which leads to the production of equivalent acid. It has its applications in the pharmaceutical sector, where it is used in making certain chemical drugs, including acetanilide, acetophenone, acetaminophen, and more. Additionally, it is used in liquid crystal compositions that are further used for optical displays and various memory devices.
