Report Abstract
This report presents the economics of Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate (ALS) production from chlorosulfonic acid, lauryl alcohol, and ammonium hydroxide in the United States. In the process examined, lauryl alcohol reacts with chlorosulfuric acid (sulfation agent). The product is neutralized with ammonium hydroxide, producing the surfactant.
The report provides a comprehensive study of Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate production and related Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate production cost, covering three key aspects: a complete description of the Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate production process examined; an in-depth analysis of the related Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate plant capital cost (Capex); and an evaluation of the respective Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate plant operating costs (Opex).
The Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate 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 Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate 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 Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate 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
Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate. Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate (a.k.a. ALS) is an alkyl sulfate and an anionic surfactant, used in the composition of shampoos and hygiene products as a foaming agent. Its molecule consists of a long hydrocarbon chain and a polar sulfate end group, which results in its amphiphilic properties. It is used in many cosmetic products because of its cleaning and emulsifying properties and behaves similarly to soap.
Raw Materials
Chlorosulfonic Acid. Chlorosulfonic acid, also known as chlorosulfuric acid and sulfurochloridic acid, is the sulfonic acid of chlorine. On a commercial scale, its production is based on reacting hydrogen chloride with a solution of sulfur trioxide in sulfuric acid. This compound is mainly used in the sulfation of alcohols, to prepare sodium alkyl sulfates. It is also employed in the production of saccharin.
Ammonium Hydroxide. Ammonium hydroxide (NH4OH) is a 28 wt% solution of ammonia (NH3) in water.
Lauryl Alcohol. Lauryl alcohol is a fatty alcohol used in producing surfactants, emulsifiers, and lubricants. It is a key ingredient in detergents and personal care products. Derived from coconut or palm kernel oil, it is stored as a waxy solid or liquid. Its long carbon chain contributes to the foaming and cleansing properties in formulations.
