Feedstock for Calcium Thiocyanate

The production of calcium thiocyanate uses calcium oxide and thiocyanic acid as the major feedstock. The changes in the market dynamics of these raw materials affect its manufacturing.

The procurement of calcium oxide is driven by factors like raw material availability, energy prices, industrial demand, emissions regulations, etc. The costs and availability of high-quality limestone (factors like transportation costs, zoning laws, mining permits, and environmental compliance affect its procurement) affect its production costs. Its manufacturing involves calcination that requires a significant amount of energy, and changes in energy costs affect its procurement. The variations in its demand in industries like chemicals, construction, sugar refining, paper and pulp, water treatment, oil and gas, etc., affect its supply and costs. The strict controls on CO2 emissions further add up to its procurement costs.

Thiocyanic acid is another major feedstock that is used in the manufacturing of calcium thiocyanate. The fluctuations in the prices and availability of raw materials like potassium thiocyanate (the environmental and health impacts of thiocyanate compound need strict guidelines on their use that affect its procurement) and sulfuric acid (the changes in the cost and availability of its raw material like sulfur impacts its sourcing) affect its production costs. The changes in its demand in downstream industries like architecture, personal care products, pesticides, gold mining, textiles, printing, dyeing, etc., impact its availability. Its harmful nature requires strict handling, storage, and disposal rules that add to its procurement costs.
 

Market Drivers for Calcium Thiocyanate

The market for calcium thiocyanate is driven by its important role in agriculture. Its use as a fertilizer additive and herbicide to improve soil quality, crop yields, and pest control contributes to its market growth. The growing economy's requirement for greater food security and sustainable agricultural practices further boosts its demand. The need for water treatment solutions for removing heavy metals from water and global concerns over water scarcity and contamination fuel its demand. Its utilization in chemical and pharmaceutical industries as a reagent in chemical synthesis, food preservatives, and advanced medicinal formulations makes it a popular product.

It has an ecofriendly profile that helps in sustainable product formulations and cleaner production methods. Its market in the Asia-Pacific region is growing because of rapid industrialization, agricultural expansion, and a need for sustainable farming and water treatment solutions. In North America, advanced agricultural technologies and strict environmental regulations contribute to high-purity applications. Europe's strict eco-friendly policies and established chemical sector drive innovation in its bio-based formulations.

The CAPEX for the calcium thiocyanate production facility includes costs of SS316L or FRP-lined reactor vessels with agitators, crystallizers, centrifuges or filter presses, and vacuum tray dryers or rotary dryers. It also includes semi-automatic or automatic bagging, raw material tanks, finished product silos, chemical transfer pumps, weighing systems, boiler, and cooling towers. Water treatment facilities, effluent treatment plants (ETP), along with instrumentation and control panels (manual or PLC-based), also come under CAPEX. Its OPEX includes raw materials costs like calcium oxide, thiocyanic acid, and neutralizing agents. Operating costs also cover labor for running reactors, dryers, ETP, and packaging, along with power and steam for process equipment. Periodic maintenance of pumps, agitators, dryers, filtration units, packaging material, transportation, and handling also comes under operational expenses.
 

Manufacturing Process

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

• From Calcium Oxide with Thiocyanic Acid: The feedstock for this process includes calcium oxide with thiocyanic acid.

The production of calcium thiocyanate involves a reaction between calcium oxide and thiocyanic acid. In this process, calcium oxide reacts with thiocyanic acid in a solvent medium, forming calcium thiocyanate. The reaction takes place in controlled conditions and the product is purified through recrystallization to get calcium thiocyanate as the final product.
 

Properties of Calcium Thiocyanate

Calcium thiocyanate has the molecular formula of Ca(SCN)2 and a molecular weight of 156–158 g/mol. It is a hygroscopic, colorless to pale yellow crystalline solid. It has a melting point of 42.5–46.5 degree Celsius and decomposes at 160 degree Celsius to release toxic gases. It is highly soluble in water, ethanol, and acetone and forms neutral or slightly alkaline solutions. It works as a thiocyanate ion (SCN?) donor and reacts with acids to produce hydrogen cyanide. It absorbs moisture and requires airtight storage. It has a monoclinic crystal lattice with calcium ions coordinated octahedrally by thiocyanate ligands. All these physical and chemical properties make it useful in textiles, agriculture, and chemical synthesis.
