Cyclopentanol is known to be one of the simplest cyclic alcohols with applications across various industries. It is widely used as an alkylating agent in the production of alkylated aromatic compounds and various other chemical compounds. It also finds its application as a solvent in making perfumes and other fragrance formulations. The compound also serves as a solvent in manufacturing certain intermediates that can be used in manufacturing pharmaceutical products. Moreover, the compound is included in preparing dyestuffs and coatings due to its potential solvent properties and chemical stability.

The demand for Cyclopentanol is mainly driven by its applications as a solvent in the production of dyes and coatings, which remarkably contributes to its demand in paints & coatings. Its application in the chemical industry for synthesizing various chemicals also promotes its market growth. Its usage in the formulation of fragrances further enhances its demand in the perfume industry. Its involvement in the pharmaceutical industry for manufacturing intermediates largely promotes its market growth. Furthermore, its application in the paint industry, the availability of raw material (cyclopentanone), their cost, logistics, and quality standards are some crucial factors that influence industrial Cyclopentanol procurement to a large extent.

Raw Material for Cyclopentanol Production

According to the Cyclopentanol manufacturing plant project report, the major raw material for Cyclopentanol production includes Pure Cyclopentanone.

Manufacturing Process of Cyclopentanol

The extensive Cyclopentanol production cost report consists of the following industrial manufacturing process:

• Production from Pure Cyclopentanone:  This method of production involves the process of catalytic hydrogenation to form cyclopentanol. The synthesis begins with the hydrogenation of pure cyclopentanone in the presence of copper chromite as a catalyst. The reaction proceeds at the temperature of 150 °C and 150 atm pressure and leads to the formation of cyclopentanol as the final product.

Cyclopentanol, also known as hydroxycyclopentane, is a viscous liquid with a characteristic odor that resembles that of amyl alcohol. Its melting and boiling points are measured around -19 °C and 140.4 °C, respectively. Its flash point is measured around 51 °C. It is slightly soluble in water. Similarly, it is also soluble in some organic solvents, including ether, acetone, and alcohols, e.g., ethanol. Its density is measured around 0.9478 g/cm3 at around 20 °C. It poorly dissolves in water, resulting in the formation of an azeotropic mixture with water. It consists of an alkyl compound that is attached to a hydroxyl group. It is a colorless viscous chemical with a chemical formula C5H10O. Its molecular weight is 86.13 g/mol. It comprises five base carbon atoms, along with ten hydrogen and one oxygen atom. The compound is a thick, colorless chemical liquid that has a pleasant odor.
