Nitrocellulose Production By Batch Process
Production Cost Report | Chemicals
Details: Germany - based plant Q1 2024 | From $ USD
This report entails the detailed cost evaluation of nitrocellulose production by batch process. The production process is initiated by the chemical reaction between cellulose and a mixture of nitric and sulfuric acid in a batch reactor. The compounds, i.e., sulfuric acid, nitric acid, and cellulose obtained from cotton, help in the nitrification of cellulose. The reaction results in the formation of nitrocellulose and water as the resultant products. The resultants are further reacted with sulfuric acid to remove the water content and give nitrocellulose as the final product.
Top Producers of Nitrocellulose
- Hubei Xufei Chemical Co., Ltd.
- Synthesia A.S.
- Nitro Chemical Industry Co., Ltd.
- Jiangsu Tailida Group
- T.N.C. Industrial Co., Ltd.
Feedstocks for Nitrocellulose
Nitrocellulose is an organic chemical that is obtained by using nitric acid, sulfuric acid, and cellulose as its major feedstocks. The procurement of nitrocellulose and its feedstocks is determined by some crucial factors, including the availability of raw materials such as cotton, ammonia, and sulfur, etc. market prices, production cost, and supply chain stability etc.
Factors including the demand from the downstream chemical, coating, aerospace industries, etc., play a vital role in influencing its procurement. Moreover, other factors, including the logistics, harvesting period of cotton (feedstock for cellulose), trade and transportation activities, as well as governmental policies altogether, help in determining its overall procurement in the global chemical market.
