Report Abstract
This feasibility study reviews Diphenyl Carbonate (DPC) production from phenol. The process under analysis is an oxidative carbonylation process, which involves the direct reaction of phenol with carbon monoxide to form DPC. The economic analysis is based on a plant constructed in the United States.
The report provides a comprehensive study of Diphenyl Carbonate production and related Diphenyl Carbonate production cost, covering three key aspects: a complete description of the Diphenyl Carbonate production process examined; an in-depth analysis of the related Diphenyl Carbonate plant capital cost (Capex); and an evaluation of the respective Diphenyl Carbonate plant operating costs (Opex).
The Diphenyl Carbonate production process description includes a block flow diagram (BFD), an overview of the industrial site installations, detailing both the process unit and the necessary infrastructure, process consumption figures and comprehensive process flow diagrams (PFD). The Diphenyl Carbonate plant capital cost analysis breaks down the Capex by plant cost (i.e., ISBL, OSBL and Contingency); owner's cost; working capital; and costs incurred during industrial plant commissioning and start-up. The Diphenyl Carbonate plant operating costs analysis covers operating expenses, including variable costs like raw materials and utilities, and fixed costs such as maintenance, labor, and depreciation.
Process Overview
Product
Diphenyl Carbonate. Diphenyl Carbonate (a.k.a. DPC, Phenyl Carbonate) is a phenol derivative, classified as an acyclic carbonate ester. It appears as a white crystalline solid, insoluble in water, but soluble in acetone, hot alcohol, benzene, carbon tetrachloride, ether, glacial acetic acid and other organic solvents. The main production route of DPC is the phosgenation of phenol, in the presence of catalysts of salts of Aluminum, Titanium, Tin, Zinc, or Iron. Another possible route, one that is being studied and otimized, is the oxidative carbonylation of phenol, carried out in the presence of paladium compounds.
Raw Materials
Phenol. Phenol, also known as hydroxybenzene, is an aromatic compound, comprised of an aromatic ring attached to a hydroxyl group. The major route for phenol production is based on cumene oxidation. Phenol is mainly employed in the manufacturing of bisphenol A (BPA), phenolic resins, Caprolactam and analine.
Carbon Monoxide. Like hydrogen, carbon monoxide is produced industrially from syngas, but it is recovered via cryogenic distillation. Carbon monoxide is used in the chemical industries for the synthesis of several compounds, like acetic acid, polycarbonates, polyketones; and also in the metallurgical industry for the creation of reducing atmospheres.
