Carbolic Acid Production Cost Reports

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

Carbolic Acid (C6H5OH) or phenol is an organic compound made up of a phenyl group and a hydroxyl group. It is mainly produced by petroleum extraction. It is an extremely poisonous chemical substance which is made using tar and is also present in certain plants and essential oils (scented liquids derived from plants).

The acid appears to be a clear, colourless liquid with a pungent, acrid odour, burning taste and oily consistency. It looks like a crystalline solid that is acidic and volatile in nature. It is explosive in nature and can cause poisoning upon ingestion and physical contact. It is slightly acidic and should be treated carefully since it can lead to chemical burns. The acid is water soluble and also miscible with alcohol and ether. It has other properties like being resonance, tautomerism, disinfectant and preservative.

Carbolic acid is mainly used in manufacturing a wide range of products, especially plastics and other materials. It is employed in a range of products such as epoxies, nylon, herbicides, polycarbonates, bakelite, detergents, phenoxy herbicides, and various prescription drugs such as phenol and its chemical derivatives. It is used to create nylon, plastics, and epoxy and to kill germs. Furthermore, it is used on metal surfaces since elevated temperatures give rise to corrosion risk on steel. Besides these applications, Carbolic Acid is extensively used in plastic precursors (accounting for two-thirds of its total use).
