Ethylaniline Production Cost Reports

The report provides a detailed analysis essential for establishing an Ethylaniline manufacturing plant. It encompasses all critical aspects necessary for Ethylaniline production, including the cost of Ethylaniline production, Ethylaniline plant cost, Ethylaniline production costs, and the overall Ethylaniline manufacturing plant cost. Additionally, the study covers specific expenditures associated with setting up and operating an Ethylaniline 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.

Ethylaniline is an organic compound that is widely recognized for its fishy odor. It is used in the production of dyes, pigments, and stabilizers. It is also used as a component in manufacturing polymers, such as poly(N-Ethylaniline) (PNEA) and poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA). It also finds its application as a precursor in the production of other aromatic amines that are further used in various industries. It is also used in the manufacturing of cure accelerator used in the vulcanization process to promote elasticity in rubber.

The versatility of Ethylaniline makes it an important component in various market segments, particularly in the chemical and colorant industries. Its market is primarily driven by its application in the production of dyes, inks, coatings, etc, which contributes to its demand in the paints & coatings, textiles, and printing industries. Its application as a building block in manufacturing certain polymers and chemical compounds further enhances its demand in the polymer and chemical industries. In general, the cost and the availability of the raw materials (aniline, etc.), technological advancements, logistics, sustainability practices, and quality standards serve as factors that influence Ethylaniline procurement globally.

Raw Material for Ethylaniline Production

According to the Ethylaniline manufacturing plant project report, the major raw materials for Ethylaniline production include Aniline-Ethyl Alcohol; Aniline-Ethyl Iodide.

Manufacturing Process of Ethylaniline

The extensive Ethylaniline production cost report consists of the following industrial manufacturing processes:

• Production from Alcohol: This method of production involves the catalytic reaction of aniline with an alcohol in the presence of an acidic medium to obtain ethylaniline as the product. The reaction of aniline with ethyl alcohol initiates the process. The reaction of aniline and ethyl alcohol takes place in the presence of sulfuric acid, followed by distillation, which results in the formation of ethylaniline as the final product.
• Production from Alkyl Halide: This method of production involves the process of nucleophilic substitution, where aniline’s nitrogen acts as a nucleophile. In this method, aniline’s nitrogen attacks the alkyl halide to produce, under the action of a base, to produce ethylaniline. The process is initiated by the reaction of aniline with ethyl iodide in the presence of a base to promote the action of aniline as a nucleophile and prevent over-alkylation to obtain ethylaniline as the final product and hydroiodic acid as a byproduct.

Ethylaniline is a colorless to yellowish-brown liquid that is primarily composed of eight carbon, eleven hydrogen, and one nitrogen atom. This combustible chemical has a molecular weight of 121.18 g/mol and a density of 0.963 g/cm³. Its molecular formula is C8H11N and it is toxic and can cause irritation upon direct exposure. Notably, it emits a weak fishy odor, similar to aniline, and belongs to the benzene family. This flammable liquid is insoluble in water but highly soluble in acetone and miscible with other chemical solvents like ether and alcohol. Ethylaniline has a melting point of approximately -63.5 °C and a boiling point of about 204.5 °C. It is sensitive to light and air, often turning brown upon exposure. Its autoignition temperature is around 480 °C, and its flash point is 85°C. When heated, Ethylaniline can decompose, emitting highly toxic fumes of aniline and nitroxides. It can be synthesized through the reaction of aniline with an alcohol or an alkyl halide.
