Colloidal Silicon Dioxide Production Cost Breakup By Peptization Method

Details: Germany - based plant Q1 2024  | From $ USD

This report entails the detailed cost evaluation of colloidal silicon dioxide production by peptization method. The production process begins by preparing a mixture containing silicon precursor with water in the presence of a catalyst. The mixture is prepared using sodium silicate with water to form a hydro-gel-like substance. The reaction is continued by mixing the silicon mixture with nitric acid that peptizes and breaks the gel into small, evenly distributed particles, producing colloidal silicon dioxide as the final product.

Feedstocks for Colloidal Silicon Dioxide

Colloidal silicon dioxide is an evenly distributed hydro-gel substance that is produced by using a silicon precursor such as sodium silicate along with nitric acid as some of its major feedstocks. The procurement of its feedstocks is mainly dependent upon factors such as the availability of the raw materials (including, such as silica sand and soda ash etc.), along with the production cost and rate of the feedstocks. Moreover, other factors such as logistics, transportation, trade, and governmental policies all together play an important role in determining the overall procurement of feedstocks as well as colloidal silicon dioxide in the global market.
