Feedstock for Calcium Hydride

The feedstock involved in the production of Calcium Hydride is Calcium Oxide. Calcium oxide is generally obtained from limestone. The availability and quality of limestone deposits play an important role in affecting both the purity and cost of produced calcium oxide. The cost of extracting and processing limestone to obtain calcium oxide, including energy expenses for the kilns (usually fuelled by gas, coal, or oil), also directly impacts sourcing decisions. The demand from major consuming industries like steel, construction, and environmental sectors can fluctuate, which further impacts the pricing, availability, and sourcing strategies of Calcium oxide.

Hydrogen can be produced via several methods, including steam methane reforming, coal gasification, and electrolysis of water. The environmental footprint, along with the cost and the availability of hydrogen, is impacted by the choice of production method. Hydrogen production through electrolysis consumes a lot of energy. Therefore, the demand for renewable energy sources can reduce costs and environmental impact and influence sourcing decisions.
 

Market Drivers for Calcium Hydride

The market for Calcium Hydride is driven by its demand as an intermediate in the synthesis of pure hydrogen. Its application in manufacturing pure hydrogen for fuel cells also boosts its demand in the energy sector. Its utilization as a desiccant for pyridine and amines further enhances its demand in the chemical industry. Its usage in the chemical manufacturing industry as a reducing agent for the production of various chemical compounds also contributes to its market expansion. Its application in the agrochemical industry in the preparation of calcium cyanamide fertilizer also fuels its market growth. Its involvement in the production of metal powder and determining moisture content in diesel fuel further boosts its demand in the metallurgical and energy industries.

The industrial procurement of Calcium hydride is governed by the availability and quality of calcium metal, which is the primary raw material for manufacturing it. The reliability and stability of the supply chain for both raw materials (calcium metal and hydrogen) also affect its procurement strategies. Capital investment or CAPEX involves the overall cost related to the initial construction of the plant with specialized facilities to handle hazardous materials like calcium hydride. It also includes the cost of purchasing and installing specialized chemical reactors and hydrogen handling systems. Furthermore, operational expenditures (OPEX) for producing calcium hydride involve the costs that are necessary for the everyday functioning of the production process. Due to the reactive and toxic nature of calcium hydride, special handling, packaging, and transportation are required, which also adds to overall operational expenses.
 

Manufacturing Process

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

• Production via Vacuum Distillation: The feedstock involved in the production of Calcium Hydride is Calcium Oxide and Hydrogen Gas. This method of production involves the process of a two-step reduction process through vacuum distillation. The synthesis begins with the process of vacuum distillation of calcium oxide to obtain calcium metal. Then, the obtained calcium metal undergoes hydrogenation at high temperatures of about 300 °C, which results in the formation of Calcium Hydride as the final product.
