This report provides an extensive cost evaluation of picric acid production by nitration reaction. The preparation of picric acid begins with the sulfonation of phenol. The chemical reaction between phenol and sulfuric acid results in the production of phenol sulfate as an intermediate. The intermediate is further treated with nitric acid, due to which the phenol-ring undergoes nitration and yields 2,4,6-trinitriphenol or picric acid as its final product.

Feedstock for Picric Acid
Picric acid is an acidic compound prepared by using phenol, sulfuric acid, and nitric acid as its major feedstocks. The procurement of picric acid, or 2,4,6-trinitrophenol, along with its feedstock, is impacted by different aspects that are related to its market dynamics.
Some of the prime factors, including its preparation cost, availability of raw materials (including ammonia, sulfur, benzene, propylene, etc.), market prices, supply chain stability, transportation, logistics, and trade activities, have a prominent role in governing its procurement.
The other factors, such as its demand as an acidic compound in the downstream industries (such as dyestuff, pharmaceutical, and explosives), economic conditions, governmental policies, sustainability, and environmental concerns, etc, majorly influence its procurement in the global market.
