Feedstock for Cyclopentanone

The direct raw materials utilized to produce Cyclopentanone are cyclopentene and nitrous oxide. Thus, the fluctuations in the prices and availability of these raw materials directly influence the overall supply chain of Cyclopentanone.

Fluctuations in the cost and availability of raw materials, mainly ethylene, affect cyclopentene pricing. These variations arise from factors such as supply chain disruptions, geopolitical issues, or changes in global demand and production capacities. Also, macroeconomic factors such as inflation, currency exchange rates, and global economic growth impact the cost of production, procurement, and transportation. The demand for cyclopentene from downstream industries and sectors, such as automotive, pharmaceuticals, and consumer goods, influences its pricing.

The pricing and procurement of nitrous oxide are influenced by demand from major downstream industries and sectors such as medical, automotive, electronics, and food and beverage. Factors such as purity levels and grades, supply chain logistics, raw material availability, and environmental regulations further impact production expenses. Further, technological advancements in eco-friendly manufacturing and competition among suppliers also contribute to pricing dynamics.

Cyclopentanone is also produced via an alternative production process that utilizes adipic acid as the major raw material. Various factors affect the pricing and procurement of adipic acid. The demand for adipic acid from downstream industries, mainly the textile and automotive sectors, impacts its pricing. Factors such as an oversupply from manufacturing facilities, coupled with fluctuations in the prices of raw materials, mainly pure benzene, further contribute to the price volatility and availability of adipic acid. Weather-related disruptions, such as the hurricane season affecting major production regions, also impact logistics and trade activities.
 

Market Drivers for Cyclopentanone

The market for Cyclopentanone is majorly driven by its application in various downstream industries and sectors such as pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, electronics, fragrances and flavors, adhesives and sealants, rubbers and plastics, etc. Its function as an intermediate in the synthesis of various pharmaceutical compounds, such as anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer drugs, elevates its demand in the pharmaceutical industry. Its utilization in the production of pesticides and herbicides boosts its market growth in the agrochemical industry. Its usage as an important precursor in manufacturing specialty chemicals, such as plasticizers, solvents, and adhesives, fuels its market expansion in industries such as automotive, construction, and electronics.

The industrial Cyclopentanone procurement is determined by factors such as the costs and availability of its raw materials, mainly cyclopentene, nitrous oxide, and adipic acid. Also, Capital Expenditure (CAPEX) for Cyclopentanone includes the cost of purchasing and installing equipment such as continuous flow reactor or batch reactor, fluidized bed reactor or fixed bed reactor, fractional distillation column, heat exchanger, chiller or cooling tower, filtration system, control system, and storage tanks, as well as costs related to building or upgrading facilities. Additionally, the Operational Expenditure (OPEX) for Cyclopentanone consists of the expenses for the procurement of raw materials (cyclopentene, nitrous oxide, and adipic acid), the energy cost required to run the production process, daily labor wages, and maintenance and repair expenses for the machines and equipment.
 

Manufacturing Processes

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

• Production from Cyclopentene: The feedstock required in the industrial manufacturing process consists of cyclopentene and nitrous oxide.

The manufacturing process initiates with cyclopentene as the starting material. The process proceeds with the reaction of cyclopentene with liquid supercritical nitrous oxide. The reaction leads to the production of Cyclopentanone as the final product.

• Production from Adipic Acid: The feedstock utilized for the industrial manufacturing process includes adipic acid.

The production process of Cyclopentanone initiates with adipic acid as the starting material. In this process, adipic acid is passed under an inert gas atmosphere at extreme temperatures. The reaction proceeds with distillation to produce Cyclopentanone as the final product.
 

Properties of Cyclopentanone

Cyclopentanone, having the molecular formula of C5H8O, is a cyclic ketone-like cyclopentane that has cyclopentane with a single oxo substituent. It is naturally found in Vitis rotundifolia, Coffea arabica, and Solanum lycopersicum. It is produced from adipic acid upon heating at a temperature in the range of 285–295°C in the presence of barium hydroxide. It is a clear, colorless liquid that has an odor like that of petroleum/peppermint. It is not soluble in water and is less dense than water. Its vapors are heavier than air (2.3 times heavier). It has a flashpoint of 87 °F. It is a stable compound. It is flammable when mixed with air. It is toxic if ingested, inhaled, or absorbed through the skin. It can also cause skin, eye, and respiratory irritation. It has a molecular weight of 84.12 g/mol and a density of 0.95 g/cm3. Its respective melting and boiling points are -58.2°C (222.15K) and 130°C (404.15K). It is soluble in alcohols, acetone, ether, and most organic solvents.
