Manufacturing Process of Dimethyl Sulfoxide

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

• Production from Dimethyl Sulfide: This method of production involves the process of oxidation reaction of dimethyl sulfide to obtain dimethyl sulfoxide as the product. The process is initiated by the continuous oxidation of dimethyl sulfide by a gas that comprises oxygen with nitric acid solution, which results in the formation of dimethyl sulfide as the final product.

Dimethyl Sulfoxide (DMSO) is a colorless chemical that is mainly composed of two carbon, six hydrogens, one sulfur, and one oxygen atom. It is a highly polar organic chemical that is measured at a density of around 1.1 g/cm³. The molecular weight of the compound is given by 78.13 g/mol. Its melting and boiling point is measured around 19 °C and 189 °C, respectively. It is a colorless polar liquid that possesses a slightly distinctive garlic or oyster-like odor. Dimethyl Sulfoxide is a well-known solvent that emits vapors that are heavier than air. It is a toxic chemical compound that may cause skin irritation on direct exposure. High vapor concentrations of Dimethyl Sulfoxide can cause severe headaches, dizziness, and sedation.
