Phosphoric Acid Production Cost Reports

Phosphoric Acid production cost report provides a comprehensive analysis and know-how for setting up a Phosphoric acid production plant. The study covers all the requisite aspects that one needs to know for the production of Phosphoric acid. This includes manufacturing processes, raw material requirements, utility requirements, infrastructure requirements, machinery and technology requirements, manpower requirements, packaging requirements, transportation requirements, etc.

Phosphoric acid or orthophosphoric acid (H3PO4) is the most important oxygen acid of phosphorus. It's a phosphorus oxoacid comprising one oxo and three hydroxy groups covalently linked to a central phosphorus atom. It functions like a solvent, an algal metabolite, a human metabolite, and a fertilizer. It is a conjugate acid of a dihydrogen phosphate and a phosphate ion.

Phosphoric acid, in its pure form, is a crystalline solid that appears like a colourless syrupy liquid in a less concentrated form with no odour. It contains phosphorus and classifies as an inorganic acid. It has a melting point of 42.35 °C and a boiling point of 407 °C, respectively. It has a molar mass of 97.99 g/mol and a density of 1.834 g/cm3. It shipped as a solid as well as a liquid. It is corrosive to tissue and metals. By nature, it is non-toxic and non-volatile and viscous.

Phosphoric acid is mainly used to make fertilizer's phosphate salts. These salts are widely used in various agricultural (as a flavouring agent in animal or poultry feed) and household applications. In dental cement, it is used to prepare albumin derivatives; as an etching solution for cleaning and roughening the teeth surface where dental fillings etc., are to be placed. It is also used in the sugar and textile industries. In food products, it finds application as an acidic food additive, fruit-like flavouring.

It is also used for treating rust and its removal from metal parts, providing metals with resistance against corrosion, and in the process of the phosphate conversion coating. Also, it's used in skin care products to adjust and control the product's pH levels whilst being used in personal care products such as soaps, toothpaste, and detergents which is furthering the market growth. Other applications of the product include its use in phosphoric acid fuel cells; to produce activated carbon; compound semiconductor processing; and in sanitizing brewing and dairy industries.
