Calcium bromate is a calcium salt of bromic acid that is used as a dough conditioner and flour improver in the food industry. It works as a strong oxidizing agent in analytical chemistry, where it helps in the detection and measurement of substances like iodine, arsenic, and manganese in food and water samples. It is utilized in the chemical industry for organic synthesis, bleaching processes, and oxidative transformations. It also works as a polymerization initiator for producing plastics, coatings, and adhesives.

It is used in water treatment as a disinfectant to eliminate microorganisms and as a dechlorination agent to neutralize chlorine compounds in wastewater. It is used in the food and beverage sector as a flour treatment agent to improve strength, gluten formation, and bread texture. It is utilized in the pharmaceutical industry because of its antimicrobial and antifungal properties. It functions as a fire retardant in textiles and plastics to improve their flame resistance.

Feedstock for Calcium Bromate

The manufacturing of calcium bromate uses calcium sulfate and barium bromate as the major feedstock. The fluctuations in the prices and availability of these raw materials affect the manufacturing of calcium bromate.

The sourcing of calcium sulfate is driven by the prices and availability of its raw materials like natural gypsum (the availability of natural gypsum is affected by geographical factors that include the location of deposits and export policies of countries) and anhydrite (presence of impurities and lack of standardization in anhydrite quality impact its procurement). The changes in its demand in construction, ceramics, plastics, food processing, pharmaceuticals, agriculture, etc., impact its availability. Its by-product may contain impurities like iron, radioactive elements (e.g., uranium, radium), and other heavy metals that require proper regulatory compliance, which adds up to its procurement costs.

The procurement of barium bromate (another major raw material used in the production of calcium bromate) is affected by its toxicity. It needs to be regulated by OSHA, DOT, and NIOSH, which make sure of strict adherence to safety standards during handling and transportation. The availability and cost of raw materials like barium compounds (the availability and cost of raw materials like barite and witherite affect barium compounds procurement) and bromine (the availability of bromine natural sources like brine pools and the cost-effectiveness of the extraction affects its sourcing) affect its production costs. The fluctuations in demand in industries like pharmaceuticals, electronics, and oil drilling affect its supply and pricing.
 

Market Drivers for Calcium Bromate

The market for calcium bromate is driven by its strong oxidizing properties and its applications across various industries. Its usage as a flour treatment agent and dough conditioner in the baking industry contributes to its market. Its utilization as an oxidizing agent in chemical synthesis and polymerization processes fuels its demand in specialty chemical manufacturing. Its usage in water treatment as a disinfectant and dechlorination agent makes it a popular product. Its use in pharmaceuticals, textiles, and as a fire retardant further contributes to its market growth.

The Asia-Pacific market is driven by rapid industrialization and its growing usage in water treatment and chemical synthesis. In North America, the market is fueled by increased oil and gas exploration that includes deep-sea drilling and shale gas extraction. The region’s large crude oil production and rising fuel exports to emerging Asian economies further boost the calcium bromide market. Europe sees moderate growth driven by industrial applications and strict environmental regulations that encourage the use of effective drilling fluids and flame retardants.

The CAPEX for calcium bromate manufacturing plants includes costs of corrosion-resistant reaction vessels or stirred tank reactors, along with agitators. Filter presses or vacuum filters, crystallizers, tray dryers or rotary dryers, and storage tanks also come under CAPEX. It also includes water treatment units, dust collection or gas scrubbing systems, conveyors and packaging units, along with a centralized control and instrumentation setup (PLC/DCS). Its OPEX includes recurring costs like costs of raw materials and energy and water usage. The wages for labor and routine maintenance of the process equipment, along with handling and disposal of solid or liquid waste, come under OPEX. It also includes costs of packaging, transport, and compliance monitoring, along with administrative and safety-related expenses.
 

Manufacturing Process

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

• From Calcium Sulfate and Barium Bromate: The feedstock for this process includes calcium sulfate and barium bromate.

The manufacturing process of calcium bromate involves a reaction between calcium sulfate and barium bromate. In this process, calcium sulfate reacts with barium bromate to form calcium bromate as the primary product and barium sulfate as a by-product.  The reaction takes place in controlled conditions and the product is separated and purified to get pure calcium bromate as the final product.
 

Properties of Calcium Bromate

Calcium Bromate has a molecular formula of C6H14O3 and a molecular weight of 134.17 g/mol. It is a white, hygroscopic crystalline solid that has a density of 1.176 g/cm³. It has a melting point of 56–58 degree Celsius and a boiling point of 159–161 degree Celsius. It is soluble in water and alcohol, forming clear solutions. Its vapor density is 4.8 (relative to air), with a very low vapor pressure (<1 mm Hg at 20°C). It has a refractive index of around 1.4850 with a flash point of 172 degree Celsius. It is combustible, with an autoignition temperature of 375 degree Celsius, and has an explosive limit ranging from 2% to 11.8% by volume in air. It contains three primary hydroxyl groups that make it highly reactive and capable of undergoing typical hydroxyl group reactions. It is stable under normal storage conditions (below 30 degree Celsius) and has a pKa value of approximately 14.01. All these physical and chemical properties make it useful in the production of alkyd resins, polyurethanes, coatings, and synthetic lubricants.
