Frequently Asked Questions
Metal treatment and cleaning applications account for approximately 25% to 30% of global oxalic acid demand, followed by dyeing and textile applications at around 25%. Pharmaceutical, chemical synthesis, rare earth processing, bleaching, and other industrial applications collectively contribute the remaining 45% to 50% of demand.
The manufacturing process involves oxidation of carbohydrates, such as glucose or sucrose, using concentrated nitric acid in the presence of sulfuric acid. The process is carried out at a controlled temperature range of 145-160 degree Fahrenheit (63-71 degree Celsius), with the carbohydrate maintained in excess relative to nitric acid.
Glucose and nitric acid are the primary feedstocks in oxalic acid production and together account for approximately 50% to 65% of total raw material costs. Other inputs, including sulfuric acid, catalysts, utilities, and processing materials, contribute the remaining cost share.
Raw material prices, particularly glucose and nitric acid, are the major cost drivers due to their direct impact on production expenses. Energy consumption, catalyst requirements, maintenance, labor, and waste treatment costs also influence the overall manufacturing cost.
