Raw Material for Oxalyl Chloride Production

According to the Oxalyl Chloride production plant project report, the key raw materials used in the production of Oxalyl Chloride include Oxalic Acid-Phosphorus Pentachloride.

Production Process of Oxalyl Chloride

The extensive Oxalyl Chloride production cost report consists of the following major industrial production process:

• From Oxalic Acid and Phosphorus Pentachloride: The production process of Oxalyl Chloride consists of a chlorination reaction. In this reaction, oxalic acid reacts with phosphorus pentachloride, resulting in the chlorination of oxalic acid. This chlorination forms Oxalyl Chloride as the final product.

Oxalyl Chloride is a compound with a chemical formula C2Cl2O2 and a molecular weight of 126.93 g/mol. It is a colorless, flammable liquid that has a strong penetrating odor and is obtained by chlorinating oxalic acid. Its density is 1.488 g/cm3 at a standard temperature of 25 °C. Its melting point is around -12 °C with a boiling point in the range of 63–64 °C. Its flash point is greater than 100 °C. The compound decomposes when dissolved in water and is finely soluble in solvents like diethyl ether, hexane, benzene, chloroform, etc. In contact with water, it rapidly decomposes while releasing toxic and corrosive fumes into the air and decomposes when heated at a high temperature.
