Report Introduction: This report presents an up-to-date, detailed cost analysis (based on 2017/18 economic data) of Epichlorohydrin production from propylene and chlorine. The process examined is a typical dehydrochlorination process. This process involves three main steps: (i) chlorination of propylene to allyl chloride; (ii) addition of hypochlorous acid to the allyl chloride formed yielding glycerol dichlorohydrins, and (iii) treatment of the glycerol – dichlorohydrin mixture with a base, yielding Epichlorohydrin product. 99.9 wt.% Epichlorohydrin is obtained.
