Feedstock for Allyl Chloride

The production of allyl chloride involves a chlorination reaction that uses propylene and chlorine gas as the major feedstock. The changes in the market dynamics of these raw materials affect the manufacturing of allyl chloride.

The procurement of propylene is driven by factors like raw material costs, energy prices, market demand, etc. The cost of raw materials like naphtha (the fluctuations in the prices of crude oil affect costs of naphtha as it is a by-product of crude oil refining), natural gas (the variations in the seasonal demand impacts natural gas prices and availability), and propane (the changes in its availability from disruptions in natural gas processing and crude oil refining impact its procurement) affects its production prices. The production of propylene utilizes an extensive amount of energy, and changes in energy prices affect its procurement. The changes in its demand from downstream industries like plastics and chemicals impact its prices and availability.

The sourcing of chlorine gas (another major feedstock used in the production of allyl chloride) is affected by the prices and availability of its raw material, sodium chloride (the changes in its demand in industries like food processing, chemical manufacturing, and water treatment affect its procurement). Its production via the chlor-alkali process utilizes an intensive amount of energy, and changes in energy costs impact its production prices. The fluctuations in its demand for water treatment and other industrial applications further affect its prices and availability.

The CAPEX for the allyl chloride production plant includes the costs of a tubular furnace reactor or chlorination reactor lined with Inconel or Hastelloy, a static mixer or gas mixing chamber, and electric heaters or heat exchangers.  It also includes the costs of condensers, fractional distillation columns, dephlegmators and decanters, and hydrogen chloride scrubbers. Off-gas neutralization systems, dry chlorine storage tanks, propylene feed tanks, and instrumentation like online gas chromatographs (GCs), HCl analyzers, flame arrestors, pressure relief valves, and an emergency shutdown system (ESD) also come under CAPEX. Its OPEX includes recurring costs like costs of raw materials like propylene and chlorine gas, along with utility costs like energy and water. The wages for skilled labor required for handling gas, real-time monitoring, and preventive safety management, along with equipment maintenance, also come under OPEX. It also includes costs of waste treatment, off-gas scrubbing chemicals, and regulatory compliance, along with PPE, leak detection, and specialized fire safety gear.
 

Manufacturing Process

This report comprises a thorough value chain evaluation for Allyl Chloride manufacturing and consists of an in-depth production cost analysis revolving around industrial Allyl Chloride manufacturing.

• By Chlorination: The feedstock for this process includes propylene and chlorine gas.

The production of allyl chloride involves the chlorination of propylene. In this reaction, propylene reacts with chlorine gas leading to a free radical mechanism process, forming allyl chloride. The high-temperature conditions help in the free radical chlorination of propylene. After the reaction, the product is separated and purified to get pure allyl chloride as the final product.
 

Properties of Allyl Chloride

Allyl chloride has the molecular formula of C3H5Cl and a molecular weight of 76.52 g/mol. It is a colorless liquid with a pungent odor and a density of 0.938 g/mL. It has a melting point of -134.5 degree Celsius and a boiling point of 45 degree Celsius. It is highly flammable, with a flash point of -31 degree Celsius, and has a vapor pressure of 368 mmHg. It is insoluble in water but miscible with organic solvents such as alcohol, ether, chloroform, and petroleum ether. It shows reactivity because of the allyl group that is stabilized by resonance between the three carbon atoms. All these physical and chemical properties make it useful in the manufacturing of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and water treatment chemicals.
