Sodium Cyclamate Production By Neutralization Via Sulfonation Reaction

This report proffers the thorough economics of sodium cyclamate production by neutralization via sulfonation reaction. The production process is initiated by the chemical reaction between cyclohexamine and sulfamic acid. The reaction results in the sulfonation of cyclohexamine and gives cyclamic acid as an intermediate. The compound is again treated with sodium hydroxide and undergoes neutralization to produce sodium cyclamate as the final product.

Feedstocks for Sodium Cyclamate

Sodium cyclamate is a chemical compound that is prepared by using cyclohexamine and sulfamic acid as its primary feedstocks. The procurement of sodium cyclamate and cyclohexamine is primarily influenced by factors such as the availability of the raw materials (including sodium hydroxide, cyclohexane, ammonia, and sulfuric acid, etc. that are used for the preparation of sulfamic acid and cyclohexamine), the logistics management, activities in its upstream industries, market prices, etc.

Moreover, other factors, including its demand in the cosmetics, food, pharmaceuticals, and beverages sectors, production cost, stability in its supply chain, trading and transportation activities, trade, and governmental policies, impact its procurement process on a large scale.
