Feedstock for Calcium Hypochlorite

The production of calcium hypochlorite uses calcium hydroxide and chlorine gas as the major feedstock. The changes in the market dynamics of these raw materials affect the manufacturing of calcium hypochlorite.

The procurement of calcium hydroxide is influenced by the availability and price of raw materials like calcium oxide (the changes in its demand in industries like chemicals, construction, and water treatment, and regional supply dynamics affect its supply). It is regulated as a hazardous and corrosive substance, with environmental regulations and workplace and environmental safety standards to control exposure, prevent spills, and ensure proper disposal, adding to its procurement costs. The changes in its demand in downstream industries like construction, water and sewage treatment, sugar refining, agriculture, paper production, steel manufacturing, chemical manufacturing, paint and waterproofing, and dentistry affect its availability.

Chlorine gas is another major raw material used in the production of calcium hypochlorite. The technology used in its production (like membrane cell, mercury cell, or diaphragm cell processes) and the availability and cost of high-quality salt impact its production costs.  The changes in its demand in downstream industries like inorganic chlorine compounds, water treatment, bleaches and disinfectants, pharmaceuticals, pulp and paper, textiles, agriculture, and chemical processing affect its sourcing. Also, strict safety and pollution control, along with safe handling, specialized storage, and transportation infrastructure because of its hazardous nature, adds to its procurement costs.
 

Market Drivers for Calcium Hypochlorite

The market for calcium hypochlorite is influenced by its usage as a disinfectant and sanitizer across multiple sectors. Its growing demand for water treatment for disinfecting drinking water, treating wastewater, and maintaining swimming pool hygiene makes it a popular product. Its usage in household cleaning and disinfecting products, along with rising health and hygiene awareness, contributes to its market growth. Its application in bleaching in the textile and paper industries, sanitizing equipment in food processing, and protecting crops in agriculture further contributes to its market growth. North American market is driven by strong regulatory standards for water quality and an extensive network of municipal water treatment plants. The European region is supported by strict environmental and sanitation regulations. The Asia Pacific region is fueled by growing water scarcity and sanitation challenges that demand proper water purification and public health initiatives.

The CAPEX for a calcium hypochlorite manufacturing plant includes a glass-lined or FRP chlorination reactor (with continuous agitation), chlorine gas injectors and flow meters, and a bed chlorine scrubber system. It also includes a filter press, wet filter cake, a rotary dryer or fluidized bed dryer, a cyclone separator or dust collection unit, and a cooling conveyor or air-cooling system. Automatic packaging machines, cooling towers, compressed air systems, and PLC-based control panels, along with chlorine leak detectors, emergency scrubbers, and fire suppression systems, also come under CAPEX.

Its OPEX includes costs of raw materials (Calcium hydroxide (lime) and chlorine gas) and costs of energy for furnaces or heat exchangers, steam, pumps, etc. The wages for the labor required for continuous monitoring of the reactor, dryers, filter press, and handling of the packaging line also come under OPEX. It also includes costs of regular maintenance needed on gaskets, valves, scrubbers, and instrumentation.
 

Manufacturing Process

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

• From Calcium Hydroxide and Chlorine Gas: The feedstock for this process includes calcium hydroxide and chlorine gas.

The manufacturing process of calcium hypochlorite involves a reaction between calcium hydroxide (or lime) and chlorine gas. In this process, chlorine gas is introduced to the lime, which leads to the formation of calcium hypochlorite. The reaction takes place under controlled conditions, and the product is separated and purified to get pure calcium hypochlorite as the final product.

• From Calcium Hypochlorite Dihydrate: The feedstock for this process includes calcium hypochlorite dihydrate.

The production of calcium hypochlorite involves the drying of calcium hypochlorite dihydrate. In this process, the moisture of calcium hypochlorite dihydrate is removed by drying. This method gives a dry, concentrated form of calcium hypochlorite as the final product.
 

Properties of Calcium Hypochlorite

Calcium hypochlorite has the molecular formula of Ca(ClO)2 and a molecular weight of 142.98 g/mol. It is a white or grey solid with a strong chlorine odor and a density of 2.35 g/cm³. It has a melting point of 100 degree Celsius, and it decomposes instead of boiling at 175 degree Celsius. It is moderately soluble in water with lower solubility in hard water compared to soft or medium-hard water. It works as a strong base and a powerful oxidizing agent that accepts protons and electrons. It dissolves in water to form hypochlorous acid and hydroxide ions. It can react with acids like hydrochloric acid to produce calcium chloride, chlorine gas, and water. It is non-flammable but can accelerate the combustion of other materials, and it reacts explosively with certain organic substances or ammonia. All these physical and chemical properties make it useful as a disinfectant, sanitizer, and bleaching agent in various industrial and municipal applications.
