Cyclopentanone Production Cost Reports

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

Cyclopentanone with the chemical formula C5H8O is a cyclic ketone-like cyclopentane that contains cyclopentane bearing a single oxo substituent. It has the function of a Maillard reaction product. It is naturally found in Vitis rotundifolia, Coffea arabica, and Solanum lycopersicum. It is produced from adipic acid when it is heated to 285–295°C in the presence of barium hydroxide.

It appears to be a clear, colourless liquid that has an odour similar to petroleum/peppermint. It is not soluble in water and is less dense than water, With vapours heavier than air (2.3 times heavier). It has a flashpoint of 87 °F. It is a stable compound, yet it is flammable when mixed with air. It is toxic if ingested, inhaled, or absorbed through the skin.

It can also cause skin, eye and respiratory irritation. It has a molar mass of 84.12 g/mol and a density of 0.95 g/cm3, liquid. Its respective melting and boiling points are -51°C (222.15K) and 131°C (404.15K).It comprises of C 71.39%, H 9.59% and O 19.02%. When under the influence of acids, it readily polymerizes. It is soluble in alcohols, acetone, ether and most organic solvents.

Cyclopentanone is an intermediate that carries the production of insecticides, rubber chemicals, pharmaceuticals and biologicals. Furthermore, its derivatives find use in the perfume industry, for instance, Cyclopentylamine, Cyclopentanol and jasmine-fragrant material, which drive market sales.

In the pharmaceutical industry, it has the role of an Intermediate. It also works like a Laboratory reagent. Industrially, it is employed for making insecticides and pesticides along with synthetic resins and rubber adhesives. Also, it is used as a thinner for epoxies and as a solvent added to paint and varnish removers. It is also a dry-cleaning agent and for oil extraction. Hence, all these applications of the product across various industries are boosting its market demand.
