Feedstock for Copper Nitrate

Copper Nitrate is produced by directly reacting copper metal with nitric acid. Another method to synthesize copper nitrate is dissolving copper metal in dinitrogen tetroxide. Therefore, copper metal, nitric acid, and dinitrogen tetroxide are used as the direct raw materials. The fluctuations in the prices of these raw materials can disrupt the supply chain of copper nitrate.

The application of copper in several sectors and industries, such as power generation and transmission, construction, factory equipment, and electronics, influences its prices. Also, around 65% of the world’s copper deposits are found in Chile, Australia, China, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Peru, Mexico, and the United States. Thus, factors such as geopolitical conflicts, trade policies, and regulations in these countries can impact the sourcing of copper.

Nitric acid is another major raw material to produce copper nitrate. The surge or decline in the prices of nitric acid can be attributed to the supply and costs of essential raw materials, such as Ammonia and Natural Gas, that affect the overall production costs for Nitric Acid. Demand from downstream industries, such as fertilizer, cosmetics, hair care, etc., also determines production and availability. Further, factors such as adverse weather conditions, which include hurricanes, heavy rainfall, and storms, impact agricultural cycles and further lead to a restrain in the demand for nitric acid.

In an alternative production process of copper nitrate, dinitrogen tetroxide is used with nitric acid as the feedstock. The fluctuations in the cost and availability of the raw materials, mainly ammonia and nitric oxide, significantly impact the production and prices of dinitrogen tetroxide. Also, global economic factors such as worldwide market fluctuations and changes in currency rates impact the prices of dinitrogen tetroxide.
 

Market Drivers for Copper Nitrate

The market for Copper Nitrate is majorly driven by its application in downstream industries such as chemical, agrochemical, electronics, automotive, textiles, organic synthesis, paints and ceramics, wood preservation, metals, and pharmaceuticals. Its utilization in the synthesis of copper oxide, along with its use as a catalyst in various other synthesis processes, elevates its demand in the chemical industry. Its usage as a dye in the textile sector supports the growth of its market. Its utilization in the production of copper-based fungicides as well as pesticides boosts its market expansion in the agrochemical industry. Its application in the manufacturing of circuit boards, as well as in the making of copper parts for automobiles, fuels its demand in the electronics and automotive industries. Also, the global shift towards cleaner energy sources, coupled with the use of copper nitrate in solar energy technology systems, further promotes the market of copper nitrate.

The industrial procurement of copper nitrate is affected by factors such as the fluctuations in the availability and costs of its raw materials, mainly copper metal, nitric acid, and dinitrogen tetroxide, which affects the supply chain and, hence, the procurement. Also, the Capital Expenditure (CAPEX) for the compound includes the initial setup costs for the manufacturing plant as well as the expenses for the machinery and equipment such as reactor drums, drying treatment devices, heating equipment, filtration systems, pumps, and circulation systems. Additionally, the Operational Expenditure (OPEX) for the product has expenses such as the procurement of raw materials (copper and nitric acid), energy costs for fuel and electricity, day-to-day labor costs, packaging and shipping costs, and waste management.
 

Manufacturing Processes

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

• Production from copper and nitric acid: The feedstock used in the industrial manufacturing process includes copper metal and concentrated nitric acid.

The manufacturing process of Copper Nitrate involves the chemical reaction of copper metal and nitric acid. In this process, copper metal is reacted with concentrated nitric acid in an oxidative-reductive reaction. The reaction starts at room temperature. In the first step, nitric acid oxidizes copper to form copper oxide as an intermediate. Finally, copper oxide reacts again with nitric acid to produce Copper Nitrate as the final product.

• Production from copper metal and dinitrogen tetroxide: The feedstock used in the industrial manufacturing process includes copper metal and dinitrogen tetroxide. 

The production process of Copper Nitrate involves the reaction of dinitrogen tetroxide with copper metal in anhydrous conditions. The resultant product is heated to a temperature of 80°C to remove the nitrogen oxides and produce pure anhydrous Copper Nitrate as the final product.
