Feedstock for Beryllium

The production of Beryllium involves an extraction method that uses mineral beryl as the major feedstock. The changes in the market dynamics of these raw materials affect its manufacturing.

Mineral beryl procurement is influenced by factors like geological, economic, technical, environmental, etc. The prices and availability of beryl deposits (the presence of beryllium-rich geological formations, particularly granitic pegmatites, and the accessibility of these deposits in major producing countries that affect its sourcing) impact its production costs. The changes in its demand in downstream industries like industrial components, aerospace and defense, automotive electronics, telecommunications infrastructure, consumer electronics, energy applications, semiconductor manufacturing, and the production of beryllium-copper alloys and ceramics govern its availability. Environmental regulations and the need for sustainable mining practices impose additional constraints, and disruptions or trade restrictions affect its procurement strategies.

The CAPEX for a beryllium production facility involves costs of jaw crushers, cone crushers, ball mills, and reactor vessels (e.g., batch reactors or continuously stirred tank reactors (CSTR)). It also includes sedimentation tanks and vacuum filters, fluorination reactors, electric arc furnaces or induction furnaces, plate heat exchangers, and shell-and-tube heat exchangers. Stainless steel storage tanks and bulk storage silos, explosion-proof electrical systems and pressure relief valves, venturi scrubbers, and wet scrubber systems are also covered under CAPEX.

Its OPEX involves ongoing costs like costs of raw materials and costs of energy consumption required for high-energy processes in electric arc furnaces and induction furnaces, as well as the hydrogenation reactors and distillation units. Labor costs cover operators for reactors, hydrogenation vessels, furnaces, and scrubber systems, and routine maintenance costs come under OPEX. It also includes water and waste treatment, packaging materials like metal drums or IBC containers, and transportation costs.
 

Manufacturing Process

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

• By Extraction Method: The feedstock for this process includes mineral beryl.

The extraction of beryllium from beryl ore starts by mixing beryl with sodium fluorosilicate and soda, which results in the formation of sodium fluoroberyllate, aluminum oxide, and silicon dioxide. This sodium fluoroberyllate is then processed to precipitate beryllium hydroxide. Now, beryllium hydroxide is converted into beryllium fluoride. Finally, the beryllium fluoride is heated with magnesium at temperatures between 900 and 1300 degree Celsius, which gives metallic beryllium as the final product.
 

Properties of Beryllium

Beryllium is a steel-gray, lightweight, and brittle alkaline earth metal with a density of 1.85 g/cm³. It has a melting point of 1287 degree Celsius and has a modulus of elasticity about 35–50% greater than steel. It has good thermal conductivity, which makes it highly effective at dissipating heat. It is non-magnetic and resists oxidation and corrosion in air because of the formation of a thin, protective oxide layer. It remains stable at elevated temperatures and has high specific heat with fast sound conduction speed. It has a +2 oxidation state and forms covalent compounds because of its small atomic radius and high charge density. It does not react with water or nitric acid but dissolves in non-oxidizing acids and reacts with alkalis. Its chemical behavior is somewhat similar to aluminum, and it is highly toxic and requires careful handling.
