Benzoyl Chloride Production Cost Breakup from Chlorination of Toluene

This report provides an extensive cost evaluation of Benzoyl Chloride production by chlorination of toluene. This method of production involves a series of chemical reactions that consume a large quantity of chlorine, which comes from benzyl chloride and benzal chloride, which produces benzotrichloride after the process of chlorination of toluene. Further, benzotrichloride is partially hydrolyzed with some water, which results in the formation of benzoyl chloride as the final product.
