Sulfamethazine Production Cost Reports

The report provides a detailed analysis essential for establishing a Sulfamethazine production plant. It encompasses all critical aspects necessary for Sulfamethazine production, including the cost of Sulfamethazine production, Sulfamethazine plant cost, Sulfamethazine production costs, and the overall Sulfamethazine production plant cost. Additionally, the study covers specific expenditures associated with setting up and operating a Sulfamethazine production plant. These encompass production processes, raw material requirements, utility requirements, infrastructure needs, machinery and technology requirements, manpower requirements, packaging requirements, transportation requirements, and more.

Sulfamethazine is an organic compound that serves as an antibacterial agent and finds major applications in human and animal medicine. It is primarily used as an antibiotic for the treatment of various bacterial infections, such as bronchitis and urinary tract infections (UTIs). It also finds its application in the production of animal medicines. It is used for treating various infections in animals and enhancing growth in food-producing animals, including cattle, sheep, and poultry. It is mainly used for the treatment of shipping fever, bacterial enteritis, etc.

The demand for Sulfamethazine is predominantly led by its application in the treatment of various bacterial infections in humans and other species, which significantly fuels its market growth. Its usage in the treatment of infections, such as bronchitis, prostatitis, etc, further promotes its demand in the medical, healthcare, and pharmaceutical industries. Its application in the veterinary medicine industry for treating infections in animals largely contributes to its market expansion. Furthermore, several factors, such as the availability of raw materials (acetylsulfanilyl chloride, etc.), cost, its application in the pharmaceutical industry, distribution, and quality standards, are some factors that influence industrial Sulfamethazine procurement to a large extent.

Raw Material for Sulfamethazine Production

According to the Sulfamethazine production plant project report, the major raw materials for Sulfamethazine production include Acetylsulfanilyl Chloride and 2-Amino-4,6-dimethylpyrimidine.

Production Process of Sulfamethazine

The extensive Sulfamethazine production cost report consists of the following industrial production process:

• Production from Acetylsulfanilyl Chloride: In this method, acetylsulfanilyl chloride and 2-amino-4,6-dimethylpyrimidine are used as starting material for the synthesis of sulfamethazine as the product. The synthesis begins with the reaction of acetylsulfanilyl chloride with 2-amino-4,6-dimethylpyrimidine in acetone and pyridine or dry pyridine. Further, the obtained 2-(N4-acetylsulfanilamido)-4,6-dimethylpyrimidine undergoes alkaline hydrolysis, followed by neutralization of the resulting salt with SO2 to obtain Sulfamethazine as the final product.

Sulfamethazine, also recognized as sulfadimidine, possesses the chemical formula C12H14N4O2S. It functions as an anti-infective medication belonging to the sulfonamide class. Operating within a spectrum of antimicrobial activity akin to other sulfonamides, it competes with para-aminobenzoic acid, inhibiting the production of dihydrofolic acid in bacteria. Consequently, it exhibits bacteriostatic characteristics and diminishes bacterial nucleotide and DNA production.

The compound appears as an odorless, white crystalline powder, and it has a molecular weight of 278.33 g/mol. The compound's melting point is recorded at 198.5 degrees Celsius, and its boiling point is recorded as 294°C. In terms of solubility, it is slightly soluble in water and acetone and partially dissolves in alcohol, dimethyl sulfoxide, and ether compounds. With a density of 1.4655 grams per cubic centimeter, this compound bears a bitter taste and antibacterial properties.
