Lignosulfonate Production Cost Breakup By Sulfite Pulping Process

Details: Germany - based plant Q2 2024  | From $ USD

This report proffers the thorough economics of lignosulfonate production by sulfite pulping process. In this process, wood is treated with a mixture of sulfur dioxide, a base (such as sodium hydroxide), and water that generates sulfurous acid. The reaction leads to the breakdown of lignin present in the wood and leads to the formation of lignosulfonate in the mixture as a result. The resultant is then separated from the mixture to obtain lignosulfonate as the final product.

Top Producers of Lignosulfonate

  • Borregaard LignoTech
  • Nippon Paper Industries Co. Ltd.
  • Xingzhenghe Chemical Co. Ltd.
  • Domsjö Fabriker AB
  • Burgo Group

Feedstocks for Lignosulfonate

Lignosulfonate is an organic compound prepared by using wood, sulfur dioxide, and a base such as sodium hydroxide as its primary feedstocks. The procurement of lignosulfonate and its feedstocks is determined by different factors. Some of the prime factors include the availability of its raw materials (including sulfur, sodium chloride, etc., for sodium hydroxide and sulfur dioxide), demand in different market sectors (including cosmetics, construction, and pharmaceutical industries), along with logistics and trade have a significant role in driving its market growth. Moreover, other factors such as its production cost, market prices, supply chain stability, and transportation activities largely govern its procurement.
