Sodium Lignosulfonate Production by Sulfite Pulping Process
Production Cost Report | Agriculture, Farming and Commodity
Details: Germany - based plant Q2 2024 | From $ USD
This report entails the detailed cost evaluation of sodium lignosulfonate production by sulfite pulping process. The preparation of sodium lignosulfonate is a complex sequential process that is initiated by pulping of wood. Initially, softwoods from pine or spruce are collected and processed into wood chips. The wood chips obtained are treated with a mixture of water and sulfite (may contain sodium, magnesium, or calcium sulfite).
It is then processed through a sulfite pulping process, where the lignin in the wood dissolves in the mixture of water and sulfite, and the resulting mixture is known as spent liquor containing lignosulfonates. The reaction is further processed, and the spent liquor is then treated with sodium hydroxide. It results in the formation of sodium lignosulfonate in the mixture (spent liquor), which is then filtered from the mixture, purified and dried to give sodium lignosulfonate as the end product.

Feedstocks for Sodium Lignosulfonate
Sodium lignosulfonate is an organic chemical compound that is manufactured by using sodium hydroxide and lignosulfonate as its major feedstock. The procurement of sodium lignosulfonate is dependent on different vital factors, including the harvesting cost of softwood varieties (including pine or spruce, raw materials for lignin, which is further used for lignosulfonate production), along with the availability of other raw materials (including sodium or magnesium sulfite, and sodium chloride, for lignosulfonate and sodium hydroxide production), logistics and trading activities, etc. Additionally, other factors such as the demand for sodium lignosulfonate in agrochemical and construction industries, production cost, variations in market prices, stability in the supply chain, transportation, and economic and governmental policies largely impact its procurement in the global market.
