Benzaldehyde-2-Sulphonic Acid Production Cost Reports

Benzaldehyde-2-Sulphonic Acid production cost report provides a comprehensive analysis and know-how for setting up a Benzaldehyde-2-Sulphonic Acid production plant. The study covers all the requisite aspects that one needs to know for the production of Benzaldehyde-2-Sulphonic Acid. This includes manufacturing processes, raw material requirements, utility requirements, infrastructure requirements, machinery and technology requirements, manpower requirements, packaging requirements, transportation requirements, etc.

Benzaldehyde-2-Sulphonic Acid or Sodium ortho-formylbenzenesulfonate, 2-formylbenzenesulfonic acid or OBSA, is a polar molecule which is a useful chemical intermediate for laboratory synthesis. It's an important reagent in the synthesis of other speciality chemical derivatives and intermediates. It is produced from o-chlorobenzaldehyde, which involves combining o-chlorobenzaldehyde with sodium sulfite, water, and surfactant, which is heated to 160-210° C, after which a sulfonation reaction takes place. After being cooled, it leads to the crystallise the products. The crystallised o-benzaldehyde sulphonic acid sodium salts get filtered, concentrated, and recrystallised.

It is a white crystalline powder which remains stable at room temperature. The compound offers various other dyes and colours like Acid Blue 113, Basic Blue 41, Acid Red 1, Acid Yellow 1, etc.

Benzaldehyde-2-Sulphonic Acid is mainly used as a fluorescent brightening agent in speciality colouring-related uses, which is driving the market's growth. The colouring agent is employed to impart a bright blue colour in products like coatings, plastics, and consumer products like detergents. Furthermore, as an additive, it is used in electroplating processes and to produce speciality textiles.
