Aluminium Chloride Production Cost Reports

Aluminium chloride production cost report provides a comprehensive analysis and know-how for setting up a Aluminium chloride production plant. The study covers all the requisite aspects that one needs to know for the production of Aluminium chloride. This includes manufacturing processes, raw material requirements, utility requirements, infrastructure requirements, machinery and technology requirements, manpower requirements, packaging requirements, transportation requirements, etc.

Aluminium chloride or aluminium trichloride with the chemical formula AlCl3 is the compound formed when aluminium and chlorine react together. It is a chloride of aluminium.

The chemical appears to be white in colour, but due to the contaminants (iron(III) chloride) present in it, it looks yellowish in colour with a pungent odour. It is corrosive to tissue and toxic when ingested. It has a molar mass of 133.341 g/mol (anhydrous), and 241.432 g/mol (hexahydrate) and its density is 2.48 g/cm3 (anhydrous) and 2.398 g/cm3 (hexahydrate). The melting point of the chemical is 192.6°C (anhydrous) and 100°C (hexahydrate, dec.), while the boiling point is 180°C. It is anhydrous, non-explosive, and non-flammable but reacts aggressively when reacted with water or bases.

The primary growth driving factor in the Aluminium chloride market is its use in producing aluminium metal. It also has other uses besides that, like in the chemical industry for making Lewis acid as well as the classic catalyst for Friedel-Crafts reactions, both acylations and alkylations.

It is also used in polymerization and isomerization reactions of hydrocarbons. It is used for preparing anthraquinone from phosgene and benzene. Furthermore, it is present in over-the-counter antiperspirants or prescription products in which it acts like an antihemorrhagic agent. It also leads to the production of ethylbenzene or for manufacturing dodecylbenzene for detergents.

Hence, its use in a series of products and methods boosts its market growth. It also finds application in the manufacturing of products such as rubber, lubricants, wood preservatives, and paints. Along with that, it is also used in pesticides and pharmaceuticals and as a flux in melting and Aluminum. Also, it has wide usage in the manufacturing industry as it is employed for making Aluminum, in metallurgy, and as an ingredient in aluminium smelting which is propelling the market further.
