Pyrogallol Production by Thermal Decarboxylation Reaction

This report proffers the thorough economics of pyrogallol production by thermal decarboxylation reaction. The production of pyrogallol is initiated by the thermal decarboxylation of gallic acid. Initially, tannic acid, obtained from tannins, is treated with sulfuric acid that yields gallic acid. It is then processed through thermal decarboxylation on heating, in the presence of gallate decarboxylase and results in the formation of pyrogallol as the end product while producing carbon dioxide as a byproduct.

Feedstock for Pyrogallol

Pyrogallol is a chemical compound obtained by using gallic acid as its major feedstock. There are various factors that govern the procurement of pyrogallol across the world. Factors mainly associated with its market dynamics such as the availability of its raw materials (including tannins, that is used for tannic acid, which is then processed to get gallic acid), along with the supply chain stability of pyrogallol in the market and its logistics, etc.

Additionally, factors such as the variation in its production cost and market prices, as well as the trading, transportation activities, and governmental policies, also influence its procurement. Similarly, its demand observed in the downstream industries (for the production of coatings, sealants, dyestuffs and medications) is highly essential to determine its procurement worldwide.
