Feedstock for Dichlorobenzene

Dichlorobenzene is produced by the reaction of liquid benzene with gaseous chlorine. Liquid benzene and gaseous chlorine are the direct raw materials used for the production. Thus, the fluctuations in the prices and availability of these raw materials can disrupt the supply chain for dichlorobenzene.

The application of benzene in several downstream industries and sectors, such as packaging, consumer goods, automotive, construction, chemicals, plastics, and petroleum, influences its prices. The supply is also affected by fluctuations in the feedstock prices, mainly crude oil and natural gas. Also, operational issues, such as maintenance shutdowns at major production facilities, affect output. Other factors, such as environmental regulations, play a critical role in shaping the Benzene market. The global rise in sustainability initiatives to reduce emissions also adds to the compliance costs, which influence the overall market dynamics.

Chlorine is also a major raw material to produce dichlorobenzene. Demand from various downstream industries and sectors, such as water treatment, pharmaceuticals, paper and pulp, mining, oil and gas, and chemical manufacturing, also determines production and availability. The continuous technological advancements in technology and innovations in materials used in the manufacturing process of Chlorine Gas significantly boost its demand. The global shift towards the adoption of environmental regulations made by the EPA and other environmental laws pushes for more eco-friendly use of chlorine, which affects the growth of the chlorine market.
 

Market Drivers for Dichlorobenzene

The market demand for dichlorobenzene is majorly driven by its usage in various downstream industries and sectors such as chemical, organic synthesis, agrochemical, consumer goods, metals, oil, paints, etc. Its utilization as a moth repellent and fumigant to repel and kill moths, larvae, and other insects, coupled with the concerns over pest infestations, mainly in the storage of textiles, clothing, and other household items, elevates its demand in various sectors.

Its usage in air fresheners and deodorizers in the form of deodorant blocks, used in toilets, urinals, and waste containers, coupled with the increasing awareness about hygiene and sanitation, boosts the market expansion of dichlorobenzene. Its function as a fumigant to control soil-borne pests and diseases fuels its market growth in the agrochemical industry. Technological advancements such as innovations in product formulations, like the use of microencapsulation technologies or the incorporation of natural repellents, also promote the market value for dichlorobenzene.

The industrial dichlorobenzene procurement is impacted by the fluctuations in the availability and cost of the major feedstock, mainly liquid benzene and gaseous chlorine. Equipment and machinery, such as batch reactors or continuous reactors, heat exchangers, chemical feed pumps, distillation columns, cooling jackets or coils, and automated control systems, are required to produce dichlorobenzene.

The cost of purchasing and installing the equipment, along with the construction of a manufacturing plant, determines the overall capital expenditures (CAPEX). Operational expenditures (OPEX) to produce dichlorobenzene include the day-to-day costs, such as labor costs, energy costs (electricity and steam), water, and other utilities, and the costs of maintenance and repair of the machinery and equipment. Production cost analysis reviews various factors that contribute to the overall expenses associated with manufacturing dichlorobenzene, such as process flow and balance, cost breakdown reports, raw materials, utilities, and financial considerations.
 

Manufacturing Process

This report comprises a thorough value chain evaluation for Dichlorobenzene manufacturing and consists of an in-depth production cost analysis revolving around industrial Dichlorobenzene manufacturing.

• Production from Liquid Benzene: The feedstock required for the industrial manufacturing process of dichlorobenzene includes liquid benzene and gaseous chlorine.

The production process initiates with the chemical reaction or chlorination of benzene in the presence of a catalyst. The reaction occurs in a reactor where benzene is reacted with the chlorine gas in moderate temperature and pressure conditions in the presence of a catalyst, mainly Lewis’s acids, like FeCl3, AlCl3, MnCl2, MoCl3, etc. The reaction produces dichlorobenzene isomers as the final product along with hydrogen chloride as a byproduct.
 

Properties of Dichlorobenzene

Dichlorobenzene (DCB) is a clear, colorless chemical compound made up of six carbon, four hydrogen, and two chlorine atoms. It is denser than water and has a flash point of 68 °C. It has the molecular formula of C6H4Cl2, and its molecular weight is 147 g/mol. It has a melting point of 53.5 °C, and its boiling point is 174 °C (1,4-dichlorobenzene). DCB is insoluble in water but dissolves in various solvents such as ether, benzene, and alcohol. It can decompose at high temperatures to emit toxic hydrogen chloride fumes. Additionally, DCB is available in three isomeric forms: 1,2-, 1,3-, and 1,4-Dichlorobenzene. These belong to the organohalogen compound family, but 1,4-dichlorobenzene (para-dichlorobenzene) is the most common isomer.
