Phosphorus Pentachloride is an inorganic compound that is largely associated with chemical and pharmaceutical industries. It is widely used in the production of certain active pharmaceutical ingredients. It also finds its huge application as a catalyst and a chlorinating agent for the synthesis of various organic chemical compounds of great industrial use. It is often used in the preparation of certain pharmaceutical drugs, dyestuffs, and chemicals in aluminum metallurgy. It also finds its application in the production of acetyl cellulose films. It is also used in the production of pesticides and other agrochemicals.

The demand for Phosphorus Pentachloride is determined primarily by its application in the chemical and metallurgical industries, which largely contributes to its market expansion. Its usage as a chlorinating agent further enhances its demand in the chemical industry. Its application in manufacturing certain pharmaceutical drugs significantly promotes its demand in the medical and pharmaceutical industries. Its usage in manufacturing cellulose films also promotes its demand in the plastics and polymer industries. In general, several factors, including the availability of raw materials (phosphorus trichloride, etc.), cost and pricing, its application in the polymer industry, regulatory compliance, and quality standards, are some factors that influence industrial Phosphorus Pentachloride procurement.

Raw Material for Phosphorus Pentachloride Production

According to the Phosphorus Pentachloride manufacturing plant project report, the major raw materials for Phosphorus Pentachloride production include Phosphorous Trichloride-Chlorine.

Manufacturing Process of Phosphorus Pentachloride

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

• Production from Phosphorous Trichloride: This method of production involves the use of phosphorous trichloride and chlorine as the raw materials for the synthesis of phosphorus pentachloride. In this method, phosphorus pentachloride is produced by combining phosphorus trichloride (PCl3) and chlorine gas (Cl2).

Phosphorus Pentachloride is a crystalline solid chemical compound that is mainly obtained by the reaction of chlorine and phosphorous trichloride in the presence of a catalytic compound. The molecular formula of the compound is PCl5, and its molecular mass is measured to be 208.24 g/mol. The chemical is greenish-yellow in color and mainly comprises phosphorous and five chlorine atoms. It exhibits a characteristic odor, mostly pungent. Phosphorus Pentachloride compound decomposes when mixed with water to form hydrochloric acid and phosphorus oxychloride (POCl3) while releasing heat into the atmosphere. The compound has a trigonal bipyramidal geometric structure, with a sp3d hybridization in a gaseous or liquified state. Its density measures around 2.1 g/cm3, while melting and boiling points measure around 160.5° C and 166.8° C, respectively. The compound is non-flammable, and hence, there is no autoignition point. The chemical compound is reactive and easily reacts with water and metal compounds.
