Cyclohexene is an organic compound that is used as an intermediate in the production of nylon. It is converted into cyclohexanol and cyclohexanone, which are further used for the manufacturing of nylon-6 and nylon-6,6 fibers utilized in textiles, engineering plastics, and packaging materials. It works as a precursor for various oxidation products like cyclohexene oxide, which makes it useful in the synthesis of epoxy resins and coatings. Its derivatives are utilized in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries as intermediates for drug synthesis and as active ingredients in pesticides and herbicides. It is used in cosmetics for the manufacturing of skin tanning products. It is also used as a solvent and petroleum extraction agent and as a stabilizer for high-octane gasoline.

Feedstock for Cyclohexene

The manufacturing of cyclohexene uses cyclohexanol and phosphoric acid as the first line of materials. The changes in the market dynamics of this feedstock affect its production.

The sourcing of cyclohexanol is affected by changes in its demand in nylon production, plastics, solvents for coatings and adhesives, textiles, automotive, construction, and pharmaceuticals. The availability and cost of its raw materials, i.e., petroleum (the instability in crude oil prices influences the availability of petroleum), affect its production expenses. Its regulatory factors related to its classification as a volatile organic compound (VOC) increase compliance costs. Also, health and safety concerns, competition from alternative chemicals, and focus on sustainable practices impact its market dynamics.

Phosphoric acid is another major feedstock used in the production of cyclohexene. The availability and price of phosphate rock (the concentration of phosphate rock in a few countries leads to supply risks and high transportation and processing costs that impact its procurement) affect its production costs. The changes in its downstream industries, like fertilizers, food and beverages, water treatment, detergents, metal treatment, pharmaceuticals, and personal care products, affect its availability.

Geopolitical issues and government policies, like export restrictions or trade agreements, disrupt global supply chains and cause price instability that impacts procurement strategies. Environmental and regulatory compliance requirements in regions with strict standards for emissions, waste disposal, and product purity further add to its procurement costs.
 

Market Drivers for Cyclohexene

The market of cyclohexene is influenced by its utilization as an intermediate in the synthesis of various chemicals and materials. Its utilization in the production of nylon polymers fuels its demand from the automotive, textile, and packaging industries. Its usage as a building block for numerous derivatives and specialty chemicals contributes to its market growth. The growing need for high-performance plastics, elastomers, and advanced materials in industrial and consumer applications further boosts its demand. Its Asia-Pacific market is driven by its demand in the automotive, textile, and packaging industries, as well as a shift toward local production of chemicals and polymers. In North America and Europe, strong industrial bases and ongoing innovation in chemical manufacturing support its demand.

The CAPEX for a cyclohexene production facility involves the costs of the glass-lined reactor or stainless-steel reactor (acid-resistant lining) and an electric heating system or oil bath. It also includes a reflux condenser, fractional distillation column, overhead condensers, distillate receivers, and decantation tanks. Acid metering pumps, corrosion-resistant acid storage tanks (HDPE or PTFE-lined), vent scrubbers or activated carbon filters for fume control, and cooling towers or chilled water also come under CAPEX.

Its OPEX involves the costs of primary feedstock and costs of heat energy for dehydration and distillation. The wages for the labor needed to manage batch operations and ensure the safe handling of corrosive materials and routine maintenance of equipment also come under OPEX. It also includes neutralization tanks for acidic effluents, phase separators for wastewater and organic residue, and acid fume scrubbers or vent absorbers.
 

Manufacturing Process

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

• From Cyclohexanol and Phosphoric Acid: The feedstock for this process includes cyclohexanol and phosphoric acid.

The manufacturing of cyclohexene uses cyclohexanol as the starting material. In this reaction, dehydration of cyclohexanol takes place in the presence of a strong acid catalyst like phosphoric acid. The acid catalyst helps in the removal of a water molecule from cyclohexanol, which results in the formation of cyclohexene as the main product.
 

Properties of Cyclohexene

Cyclohexene has a molecular formula of C6H10 and a molecular weight of 82.14 g/mol. It is a colorless liquid hydrocarbon that has a sharp, sweet odor. It has a boiling point of about 83 degree Celsius and a melting point of about -103.5 degree Celsius. It has a density of around 0.81 g/cm³ and is insoluble in water but readily dissolves in organic solvents. It has a flash point in the range of -6.5 to -12 degree Celsius, posing flammability hazards. It shows alkene reactivity and goes through electrophilic addition reactions like hydrogenation, hydration, and halogenation, as well as oxidation to form products like cyclohexene oxide and adipic acid. It also participates in isomerization and bromination reactions, and its double bond makes it more reactive than saturated cycloalkanes. All these physical properties and chemical properties make it useful as an industrial intermediate and laboratory reagent.
