Feedstock for Allylbenzene

The production of allylbenzene uses allyl bromide, bromobenzene, and magnesium turnings as the major feedstock. The changes in the market dynamics of these raw materials affect the manufacturing of allylbenzene.

The procurement of allyl bromide is affected by factors like raw material costs and availability, environmental and regulatory factors, market demand, etc. The changes in the cost and availability of raw materials like bromine (fluctuations in the prices of oil and natural gas affect the production cost of bromine) affect its production costs. The changes in its demand for pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals affect its procurement. The strict regulations on brominated compounds affect their production and use, which impacts their sourcing strategies.

The sourcing of bromobenzene is affected by several factors. The price and availability of bromine impact bromobenzene production. Its growing demand for the production of medications and agricultural chemicals affects its procurement. The focus on eco-friendly production methods and usage of greener alternatives impacts its procurement strategies.

Magnesium turnings are another major feedstock used in the production of allylbenzene. The cost of magnesium ingots (fluctuations in energy prices directly impact the cost of producing magnesium ingots), from which turnings are produced, affects its procurement costs. The changes in demand in industries like pyrotechnics, metallurgy, aerospace, and automotive affect its availability. They are highly flammable and reactive and require specialized packaging and transportation solutions, adding to their procurement costs.
 

Market Drivers for Allylbenzene

The market for allylbenzene is driven by its increasing demand in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and fragrance industries. The growth of the polymer industry leads to its market expansion, as its derivatives, like styrene, are used in the plastics and resins sector. The growing demand for natural and synthetic fragrances further contributes to its demand. The usage of advanced technology in improved synthesis techniques enhances production efficiency and reduces costs. Also, the focus on sustainability and eco-friendliness further contributes to its demand.

In the Asia-Pacific, rapid industrialization and urbanization drive the demand for the production of agrochemicals and consumer products. North American region benefits from advanced manufacturing capabilities and a focus on sustainability, with investments in bio-based Allylbenzene and green chemistry processes. Europe's market is driven by strict regulations like REACH that focus on compliance and sustainability, along with the popularity of natural products that boost its demand in the fragrance sector.

The CAPEX for the allylbenzene manufacturing plant includes the costs of the Grignard reactor vessel (glass-lined or stainless steel), reflux condenser, charging hopper, and dosing systems. It also includes the costs of the hydrolysis tank, phase separator or decanter, drying unit, and distillation column. Safety-critical installations such as a nitrogen purge system, fire suppression units, explosion-proof HVAC, and a DCS/PLC control panel also come under CAPEX. Its OPEX includes costs of raw materials and utilities like electricity, steam, and cooling water to support distillation, refluxing, and drying processes. It also includes regular expenses for labor, preventive maintenance of the Grignard reactor, pumps, distillation units, and ether handling systems. Environmental controls like vapor recovery systems and wastewater treatment units also come under OPEX.
 

Manufacturing Process

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

• By Grignard Reagent: The feedstock for this process includes allyl bromide, bromobenzene, and magnesium turnings.

The manufacturing process of Allylbenzene starts with the preparation of a Grignard reagent. First, magnesium turnings, bromobenzene, and ether are used to prepare the Grignard reagent. After that, allyl bromide is added gradually to this reagent while cooling the mixture. Then, the mixture is refluxed and hydrolyzed with water. The organic layer is separated and dried and the residue is distilled to get allylbenzene as the final product.
 

Properties of Allylbenzene

Allylbenzene has the molecular formula C9H10 and a molecular weight of 118.18 g/mol. It is a clear, colorless, slightly yellow liquid with a density of 0.892 g/mL at 25 degree Celsius. It has a melting point of -40 degree Celsius and a boiling point of 156–157 degree Celsius. It is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents like ethanol, ether, and benzene. It is stable under normal conditions but is flammable and incompatible with strong oxidizing agents. It goes through polymerization when heated or in the presence of catalysts. It releases carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide upon decomposition. It is a hazardous and flammable liquid that causes irritation to the skin, eyes, and respiratory system upon exposure. All these physical and chemical properties make it useful in organic synthesis, coatings, adhesives, and as a precursor for various industrial applications.
