Feedstock for Barium Hypophosphite

The production of barium hypophosphite involves an aqueous reaction that uses barium oxide and hypophosphorous acid as the major feedstock. The changes in the market dynamics of these raw materials affect the manufacturing of barium hypophosphite.

The procurement of barium oxide is governed by the availability and cost of raw material barium nitrate (the disruptions in the supply of barium caused by instability in mining practices, geopolitical issues, or environmental regulations affect barium nitrate sourcing). Its manufacturing process, i.e., decomposition, requires investment in infrastructure, machinery, utilities, and skilled manpower, which contributes to overall costs. The changes in its demand in downstream industries like glass and ceramics, chemicals, metallurgy, petroleum, nuclear, water treatment, and electronics sectors impact its availability. Also, regulatory requirements, packaging, and transportation costs further affect its procurement strategies.

The sourcing of hypophosphorous acid (another raw material used in the production of barium hypophosphite) is influenced by changes in the prices of its raw material, i.e., elemental phosphorus (the concentration of phosphate rock in a few regions affects the availability of elemental phosphorus). It requires strict safety regulations for handling and transport because of its corrosive and hazardous nature, which adds to procurement costs. The changes in its demand in electroless nickel plating, pharmaceuticals, water treatment, polymer and plastics manufacturing, synthetic fibers, chemical synthesis, bleaching and decolorizing agents for plastics and fibers, etc., govern its prices and availability. Also, the choice of production method, like electrodialysis or ion exchange, affects its cost and yield.

Manufacturing Process

This report comprises a thorough value chain evaluation for Barium Hypophosphite manufacturing and consists of an in-depth production cost analysis revolving around industrial Barium Hypophosphite manufacturing.

• From Barium Oxide and Hypophosphorous Acid: The feedstock for this process includes barium oxide and hypophosphorous acid.

The manufacturing process of barium hypophosphite involves an aqueous reaction between barium oxide and hypophosphorous acid. In this reaction, barium oxide reacts with hypophosphorous acid in water that forming barium hypophosphite monohydrate. The resulting solution is evaporated, which leads to the crystallization of barium hypophosphite. The crystals are then collected to get pure barium hypophosphite as the final product.
 

Properties of Barium Hypophosphite

Barium hypophosphite has the molecular formula of Ba(H2PO2)2 and a molecular weight of around 267.3 g/mol. It is a white to off-white, odorless, crystalline or powdery solid that has a density in the range 2.77 to 2.94 g/cm³. It is highly soluble in water, but insoluble in alcohols. It decomposes upon heating above 150 degree Celsius and it forms orthorhombic or monoclinic crystals. It works as a reducing agent and reacts with concentrated sulfuric acid to yield hypophosphorous acid and barium sulfate. It is stable under normal conditions. It requires proper handling because it is hazardous if ingested or inhaled. All these physical and chemical properties make it useful in nickel plating, chemical synthesis, and as a source of hypophosphite ions in various industrial processes.
