Understanding the Aluminium Chloride Manufacturing Process
Published on July 21, 2025 | By Chemfab Karaiikal Limited
Introduction
Aluminium Chloride (AlCl3) is a crucial catalyst and intermediate used in various industries including pharmaceuticals, petrochemicals, and dyes. At Chemfab Karaiikal Limited (CKKL), we follow a highly controlled and sophisticated manufacturing process to ensure product purity and operational efficiency.
How It Is Manufactured
The manufacturing of Anhydrous Aluminium Chloride at CKKL follows a meticulous process involving the chemical reaction of molten aluminium with chlorine gas inside a specially designed reactor.
Process Reaction: 2Al + 3Cl2 → 2AlCl3
The process is conducted at approximately 700°C. The exothermic reaction's heat is efficiently managed, and Aluminium Chloride vapors condense on the reactor walls, forming solid deposits that are collected and processed further.
Key Highlights of the Process
- Raw Materials: Aluminium and Chlorine
- Chlorine is bubbled through graphite sparging tubes
- Reaction occurs at ~700°C, forming AlCl3 vapors
- Condensation and collection of solid product on reactor walls
- Scrubbing system removes unreacted chlorine and gases
- Moisture-controlled silos store the final product
- Start-up takes 3–4 days, stabilization in about 3 days
- Each reactor produces ~2100 MT in its lifecycle
- Reactor runs 24/7 for operational stability
Advantages of Our Process
- Highly efficient and modular reactor setup
- Superior moisture control ensures high product purity
- Continuous production with minimal downtime
- Environmentally responsible gas scrubbing system
- Optimized for consistent and large-scale output
Conclusion
Our Aluminium Chloride manufacturing is a result of decades of engineering and process excellence. With an unwavering commitment to quality and innovation, CKKL ensures that every batch meets the strictest industrial and regulatory standards.
