Additionally, the study covers specific expenditures associated with setting up and operating a Nitrochlorobenzene 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.

Nitrochlorobenzene is an organic compound that has several commercial applications. It is widely used in the production of dyes, pigments, and certain rubber chemicals. It also finds its application in manufacturing various agrochemicals. It is often used in the production of antioxidants and certain pharmaceutical drugs, such as dapsone (an antimalarial drug). It is also used as an intermediate in the production of oil additives. It is also used in synthesizing certain chemicals, including p-nitroaniline, p-nitrophenol, p-aminophenol, acetaminophen, phenacetin, and more.

The market for Nitrochlorobenzene is primarily determined by its applications that are associated with agriculture, pharmaceutical, petrochemical, and chemical industries. Its application in manufacturing agricultural chemicals and pharmaceuticals further promotes its demand in the agrochemical, pharmaceutical, and healthcare industries. Its huge role in the production of oil additives also surges its demand in the petrochemical industry. Furthermore, several factors, such as the availability of raw materials (chloroform, etc.), cost and pricing, its application in the pharmaceutical industry, its usage in the agriculture sector, distribution, and quality standards, are some of the numerous factors that influence industrial Nitrochlorobenzene procurement globally.

Raw Material for Nitrochlorobenzene Production

According to the Nitrochlorobenzene manufacturing plant project report, the major raw materials for Nitrochlorobenzene production include Chlorobenzene-Mixed acids (Nitric Acid-Sulfuric Acid).

Manufacturing Process of Nitrochlorobenzene

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

• Production via Batch Nitration of Chlorobenzene: This method of production involves the process of continuous or batch nitration of chlorobenzene with mixed acids to produce Nitrochlorobenzene. The synthesis begins by the continuous or batch nitration of chlorobenzene at 40–70 °C by using mixed acids (30% HNO3: 56% H2SO4: 14% H2O), which leads to the formation of a mixture of isomers. The obtained isomer mix consists of 2-chloronitrobenzene, 4-chloronitrobenzene, and about 3-chloronitrobenzene that can be separated by a combination of fractional crystallization and distillation to obtain desired nitrochlorobenzene as the final product.

Nitrochlorobenzene is a yellow crystalline chemical that comprises six carbon, four hydrogen, one chlorine, one nitrogen, and two oxygen atoms. It is a chemical irritant with an aromatic odor.
