Diechlorophenol Manufacturing :                 2-4- Diechlorophenol is a white, low melting point solid, having a boiling point 210 digri and melting point 45 digri C. It has a flash point 237 digri F . It is highly combustible . It is soluble in water, alcohol and carbon tetra chloride.                  At present eight big company are engaged in manufacturing this product, beside few small scale units, So there is good scope to manufacturing this product in small scale sector. It is mainly used in organic synthesis. Most important use of this chemical is in the manufacturing of 2-4-D ( 2-4-dichlorophenoxy acetic acid ) and its derivatives. Requirement Raw Material :(Basic 500 kgs. per day)                  Phenol                                   1250 kgs.                  Colorine                                  400 kgs. Manufacturing Process :              It is prepared by continued chlorination of phenol, with gradual elevation of the temperature above th

Paint Driers:               Paint driers include naphthenates, octoates, linoleates, ets. of lead, cobalt, magnese, zinc and calcium . The function of paint driers is to quicken the drying of paint films. A combination of drier is quite often necessary to include the desired drying/ film forming characteristics. In fact paint drier are backbone of paint industries. All the paint drier are being manufactured in India, use of naphthenates and octoates being most common.                 At present about twelve / thirteen companies are manufacturing paint drier in India. Since due to growth of paint industry and increase in use of paint drier will rise. So there is good scope for manufacturing paint driers. Raw Material Requirement:          a.  For lead naphthenates ( Basic I M T per day ).          1. Litharge                  840 kgs.          2. Naphthenic acid.   1680 kgs.                  b.  For cobalt  naphthenates ( Basic I M T per day ).          1. Naphthe

Lanolin Anhydrous Introduction :             It is colour less liquid, odour similar to that of bergamot oil and french lavender. It os soluble in alcohol and ether. It is used in cosmetics and pharmaceutical cream preparations, other uses include softening agent, in toilet soap manufacturing , as a rust preventive, in cutting oils and in lubricants. Market Position :          At present various small scale unites are manufacturing lanolin anhydrous beside seven/ eight big units. Because of its numerous and uses there is good scope to manufacturing this product. Requirement Raw Material :          1. Lanolin ( crude )                       2000 kgs.          2. Bleaching Powder.                      600 kgs.          3. Solvent ( Carbon tetra chloride) 400 Litters. Manufacturing Process :          Crude wool grease is treated with alkali to remove free acid present and washed with water to remove excess of alkali. Neutral fat is treated with hydrogen peroxide an

Benzyl benzoate manufacturing :  Introduction :              Benzyl benzoate is one of the important ester widely used in perfumery industry. Benzyl benzoate is extensively usedin medicines, and is an effective for chigger, a tropical flea burrowing into skin. Benzyl benzoate is also widely used in perfumery industry and is particularly valuable as fixative and as a solvent for synthetic musks. At present eight to ten units are manufacturing Benzyl benzoate besides various small sector organisation. With the fast expansion and rapid growth of pharmaceutical and perfumery industry, the prospects of manufacturing these product are very bright in the near future. Use & Scope :                   1. Fixative and solvent for musk in perfume and flavours.           2. Medicine ( external ) only.           3. Plasticizer and Miticide.          The esters characteristics by agreeable odours are use in perfumes, medicine and plasticizers. The ester benzyl benzoate is used a

Tartaric Acid Manufacturing Unit. Introduction :           Large quantities  of tartaric acid and its salts are consumed nowadays in the production of great variety of feed and drugs. Structurally tartaric acid contains tow hydroxyl and two carboxyl group attached to an ethane hydrocarbon system, processing two centres of a symmetry. It therefore exists in four different modification, namely :           Dextro- tartaric acid, Leavo tartaric acid, racemic tartaric acid, and meso tartaric acid.         Only dextro from occurs normally in nature. Tartaric acid is colour less in the from of white transparent crystals. It is odourless , having acidic taste. It is soluble in water, alcohol and ether. It is obtained in different grades like technical, crystalline, powder, and granular. in is used in various induatries like, ceramic, textile, in silvering mirrors, in colouring metals, as a sequestrant. Others applications include in baking powder, fruit esters, beverages, galvan

Hydrochloric Acid : Introduction :            Hydrochloric Acid was know as early as 800 A.D. Glauber prepared by heating a mixture of common salt and concentrated sulphuric acid in 1648. Presently called it marine acid while lavoisier named it as muriatic acid. It was davy who showed that it was a compound of Hydrogen and chlorine & renamed it HCL. Manufacturing Process :  Hydrochloric Acid is obtained by the action of hot concentrated sulphuric acid on common salt. Calculated quantities of common salt and concentrated sulphuric acid are reacted in the pan of salt cake furnace.                           NaCL+ H2SO4  -   Na HSO4 + HCL             Hydrochloric Acid gas produced as a result of the above reaction passes out through the exit of the top. Sodium bisulphate ( called salt cake) obtained in the reaction is removed from the pan mixed with common salt and heated strongly in the muffle.                             NaCI + H2SO4, -   Na2  SO4 + HCL
