Dinitrotoluene Production Cost Reports
Chemicals
The report provides a detailed analysis essential for establishing a Dinitrotoluene manufacturing plant. It encompasses all critical aspects necessary for Dinitrotoluene production, including the cost of Dinitrotoluene production, Dinitrotoluene plant cost, Dinitrotoluene production costs, and the overall Dinitrotoluene manufacturing plant cost. Additionally, the study covers specific expenditures associated with setting up and operating a Dinitrotoluene production plant. These encompass manufacturing processes, raw material requirements, utility requirements, infrastructure needs, machinery and technology requirements, manpower requirements, packaging requirements, transportation requirements, and more.
Dinitrotoluene (DNT) is an organic compound that has primary applications in commercial and military explosives in the synthesis of gelatinizing and waterproofing agents. It is widely used in the manufacture of dyes, munitions (military supplies like gunpowder, etc.), and explosives. It is also used as an intermediate for the production of toluene diamines (TDA) and diisocyanates, which is further used in making polyurethane foams.
The market for dinitrotoluene is majorly driven by its applications for its wide usage in the syntheses of gelatinizing and waterproofing agents in commercial and military explosives, which contributes to its market expansion and increases its demand for defence, military, and explosives industries. Moreover, it is also used as an intermediate in the manufacture of toluene diamines (TDA) and diisocyanates, which are further used in making polyurethane foams.
It further amplifies its market growth and increases its demand in the chemical manufacturing, coatings, furniture, and consumer goods industries. Along with the production of explosives, it is also utilized in the production of dyes and munitions (military supplies), which significantly strengthens its demand in the explosives, textile, and munitions industries.
Furthermore, the availability and cost of production of dinitrotoluene feedstock, which includes toluene, nitric acid, etc., dinitrotoluene market prices, distribution (including trading and shipping), logistics, environmental regulations, safety standards, etc., are some of the elements that influence industrial dinitrotoluene procurement.
Raw Material for Dinitrotoluene Production
According to the Dinitrotoluene manufacturing plant project report, the major raw materials for Dinitrotoluene include Toluene-Sulfuric Acid-Nitric Acid; Toluene-Nitric Acid.
Manufacturing Process of Dinitrotoluene
The extensive Dinitrotoluene production cost report consists of the following industrial manufacturing processes:
- Production from Toluene: This process involves the nitration of toluene with nitrating acid (mixture of nitric acid and sulfuric acid), which ultimately results in the formation of dinitrotoluene (DNT).
- Production from alternate process: This process results in the production of mixed isomers of DNT as products. The process involves direct nitration of toluene with 2.1 equivalents of nitric acid under similar conditions, which produces 2,4 dinitrotoluene and 2-6 dinitrotoluene as products.
Dinitrotoluene (DNT) (C7H6N2O4) is an intermediate that is produced by incorporating toluene and nitric acid. It is classified as an aromatic hydrocarbon. The compound might occur as an environmental contaminant in soil, surface water, and groundwater. At room temperature, it looks like a pale yellow to orange crystalline solid that is highly explosive.
Its molar mass is 182.134 g/mol, and its density is 1.52g/cm3. It has a melting point of 67-70°C. It decomposes at 250°C and reacts with oxidizing agents, caustics, nitric acid, reducing materials and metals such as zinc, or it has an oily consistency and is not soluble in water (denser than water). The chemical has a solubility of 270 mg/L at 22 °C in water. Upon combustion, it leads to the production of toxic oxides of nitrogen and is toxic if absorbed by skin, ingested, or inhaled.
