Cyanogen chloride is a highly toxic inorganic compound that is used as a chemical intermediate in the synthesis of cyanuric chloride, which is utilised for manufacturing herbicides, dyes, brightening agents, and pharmaceuticals. It is employed in the production of sulfonyl cyanides and chlorosulfonyl isocyanate, which are used as reagents in organic synthesis for creating complex molecules.

It is also used for metal cleaning, ore refining, and to manufacture synthetic rubber, as well as in electroplating and photographic processes. It has high toxicity and the ability to penetrate some protective filters, and it has also been used as a component in fumigant gases and tear gas for riot control. The presence of reactive chlorine and cyanide groups makes it a useful building block in chemical manufacturing. Its extreme toxicity requires proper use and handling to ensure safety and prevent environmental harm.

Feedstock for Cyanogen Chloride

The manufacturing of cyanogen chloride uses sodium cyanide and chlorine as the major feedstock. The changes in the market dynamics of these raw materials affect its manufacturing.

The procurement of sodium cyanide is driven by the changes in its demand in downstream industries like gold and silver mining, base metal extraction (such as copper, lead, and zinc), electroplating, dye and chemical synthesis, etc. The cost and availability of raw materials like caustic soda (caustic soda production via the chlor-alkali process is highly energy-intensive and changes in energy prices affects its supply), ammonia (price and availability of natural gas affects ammonia supply), and hydrogen cyanide (availability and price of feedstock chemicals like ammonia and methane affects its sourcing) impacts its production costs. It is hazardous in nature, requires specialised packaging and strict compliance with environmental and safety regulations, which adds to its logistics and transportation costs.

Chlorine is another major feedstock used in the production of cyanogen chloride. The cost and availability of raw materials like sodium chloride (import duties, anti-dumping measures, and environmental regulations affect the cost of sodium chloride), along with energy costs, impact its production costs. The choice of production method, like membrane cell, diaphragm cell, or mercury electrolysis, affects its efficiency and cost. The fluctuations in its demand in downstream industries like hydrochloric acid, sodium hypochlorite (bleach), calcium hypochlorite, chlorine dioxide, and caustic soda production govern its availability. It is regulated with strict occupational exposure limits, transport and storage rules, and residual limits in water, which adds to its procurement costs.

Manufacturing Process

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

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

The production of cyanogen chloride involves the chlorination of sodium cyanide. In this process, sodium cyanide is suspended in dry carbon tetrachloride, which works as an inert solvent. The reaction mixture is maintained at a low temperature, and then chlorine gas is introduced into the mixture, which reacts with the sodium cyanide to form cyanogen chloride and sodium chloride as a byproduct. After this reaction, the mixture goes through distillation, giving pure cyanogen chloride as the final product.
 

Properties of Cyanogen Chloride

Cyanogen chloride has the molecular formula of ClCN and a molecular weight of 61.5 g/mol. It is a colourless, volatile, and highly toxic gas with a pungent, acrid odour. It has a boiling point of about 12.6 to 13 degree Celsius and a melting point of around -6 degree Celsius. It has a density of around 1.2 g/mL and is soluble in water and also dissolves in organic solvents such as ethanol, chloroform, and benzene.

It is reactive and can be unstable in the presence of acids. It is slowly hydrolysed by water at neutral pH, producing cyanate and chloride ions. It is a strong irritant to the eyes and respiratory tract, and even low concentrations can cause immediate and severe symptoms. It is classified as a blood agent because it is rapidly metabolised to cyanide in the body, which leads to systemic toxicity and is also hazardous to the environment.
