Methoxychlor Production Cost Reports

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

Methoxychlor is a synthetic organochlorine insecticide that belongs to the class of chlorides and is mainly used in the agrochemical industry. It is corrosive in nature and is also toxic to the environment. It is utilized in the preparation of certain pesticides and insecticides that are used to kill pests and insects in the agricultural field. It is applied in large areas through aerial spraying to manage insect populations in agricultural settings. It is also used in veterinary medicine to treat livestock and pets for external parasites such as fleas and ticks.

Industrial Methoxychlor procurement is influenced by its demand in the agrochemical industry. Its application as a toxic crystalline solid additive used for the production of poisonous chemicals boosts its demand in the agrochemical industry. It is an organochlorine variety that is mainly utilized for the production of insecticides and pesticides, which can effectively control pests and insects in crop fields. Its utilization in the preparation of such toxic chemicals expands its demand in the chemical market. The changes in its demand as a poisonous compound in the agrochemical and chemical industry contribute to its market growth and have an impact on its procurement.

Raw Material for Methoxychlor Production

According to the Methoxychlor manufacturing plant project report, the key raw materials used in the production of Methoxychlor include Anisole-Chloral-Acidic Catalyst.

Manufacturing Process of Methoxychlor

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

• From Anisole, Chloral, and Acidic Catalyst: The manufacturing process of Methoxychlor involves a reaction between anisole and chloral. In this process, anisole reacts with chloral in the presence of an acidic catalyst like sulfuric or hydrochloric acid. This catalyst acts as a condensing agent, promoting the formation of Methoxychlor as the final product.

Methoxychlor is an agrochemical variety with a molecular formula of C16H15Cl3O2 and a molecular weight of 345.6 g/mol. It appears as white to pale yellow crystalline solids with a slight fruity odor. Its melting point is around 89 °C, and it decomposes above this temperature. It shows no solubility in water but dissolves in other solvents, like alcohols and petroleum oils, and is highly soluble in aromatic solvents. It is an organochlorine with a density of 1.41 g/cm3 at a temperature of 25 °C. It remains stable under normal conditions and can also remain stable under UV rays but decomposes when heated at a high temperature and emits toxic fumes of hydrogen chloride and carbon monoxide in the air.
