Nitrobenzene Production Cost Reports

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

Nitrobenzene is an aromatic organic compound and has broad applications in various industries like chemical, pharmaceutical, etc. The primary usage of nitrobenzene is as a precursor to the synthesis of benzidine, aniline, and other organic compounds. In addition, it's utilized in the manufacturing of synthetic rubber, dyes, medications (drugs), lubricants, pigments, and pesticides.

Nitrobenzene (redistilled and as oil of mirbane) is frequently used as an inexpensive perfume for soaps and to produce lubricating oils such as those used in motors and machinery. It is often used to mask offensive paint, shoe odors, leather dressings, etc. It also functions as an organic solvent. Moreover, it is also used in the manufacturing of acetaminophen, often known as paracetamol, an analgesic. Also, it can readily be converted to related derivatives like azobenzene, nitrosobenzene, and phenylhydroxylamine.

Nitrobenzene's demand has increased recently due to the growing appeal of synthetic materials like rubber, dyes, lubricants, pigments, etc., because of its versatility. The market prices for this material have also increased because of its numerous applications and the growing demand for synthetic products in different industrial sectors. Moreover, its effectiveness in manufacturing synthetic rubber and lubricating oils that are widely utilized in motors and machinery drives the market for this commodity in the automotive industry.

It is also used for dying and printing textile fibers. Thus, nitrobenzene has seen an increase in demand in recent years for textile industries. Additionally, it serves as a precursor for the synthesis of several other organic compounds. It is also used in the manufacture of certain drugs, which further boosts its market expansion among the chemical and pharmaceutical industries.

Furthermore, the availability and cost of production of nitrobenzene's feedstock (benzene, nitric acid, sulphuric acid), nitrobenzene market prices, environmental regulations & safety concerns, storage, handling, distribution (including trading and shipping), logistics, etc., are some of the elements that influence an industrial nitrobenzene procurement. Its use as a vital component for the chemical, automotive, textile, pharmaceutical, and other industries have a significant impact on the commodity's global procurement.

Raw Material for Nitrobenzene Production

According to the Nitrobenzene manufacturing plant project report, the major raw materials for Nitrobenzene production include Benzene-Nitric Acid-Sulphuric Acid.

Manufacturing Process of Nitrobenzene

The extensive Nitrobenzene production cost report consists of this major industrial manufacturing process:

• Production from Benzene and Nitric Acid: In this process the production of nitrobenzene occurs by the direct nitration of benzene using “mixed acid” or “nitrating acid”. The process involves the addition of the nitro group (NO2) in the benzene ring, in the presence of a mixture of concentrated nitric acid (HNO3) and sulfuric acid (H2SO4) solution, which further results in the formation of nitrobenzene as the final product.

Nitrobenzene (C6H5NO2) or nitrobenzol or oil of mirbane is a nitroarene, the simplest aromatic nitro compound comprising benzene carrying a single nitro substituent. It is a member of nitrobenzenes and a nitroarene. It's a poisonous organic compound which is mainly made up of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen. It is a yellowish chemical that is an aromatic nitro compound with an almond-like odour with an oily consistency. It looks like a pale yellow to dark brown liquid.

It has slight solubility in water (0.19 g/100 ml at 20 °C). It has a molar mass of 123.06 g/mol and a density of 1.199 g/cm3. Its respective melting, boiling and flash points are 5.85 °C, 210.9 °C and 190 °F. Upon combustion, it releases toxic nitrogen oxide fumes, and its exposure can lead to irritation in the eyes, skin, and respiratory tract and can also cause methemoglobinemia that leads to fatigue, dizziness, dyspnea, disturbed vision, collapse, shortness of breath, and even death. It can also cause harm to the spleen, liver, kidneys and central nervous system. The chemical is a possible mutagen and human carcinogen.
