Feedstock for Tricalcium Phosphate

The production of tricalcium phosphate involves the usage of sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, and phosphate rock as major feedstock. The fluctuations in the market dynamics of these raw materials affect the manufacturing of tricalcium phosphate.

The procurement of sulfuric acid is affected by several factors, like the costs of raw materials that include sulphur. It is derived from elemental sulfur, metal sulfide ores, or recycled spent acid, and price instability and production costs of these raw materials impact sulphuric acid procurement. Its demand in downstream industries, like fertilizer production, chemical manufacturing, metal processing, pharmaceuticals, etc., affects its prices and availability. Strict environmental regulations directed towards reducing emissions and promoting sustainability affect both production methods and the choice of raw materials. The usage of advanced technology improves yield and efficiency, which further affects the availability and cost of sulfuric acid.

The sourcing of phosphoric acid is affected by the availability of raw materials like phosphate rock and sulfuric acid. These raw materials are concentrated in regions like Morocco and China that impact supply because of geopolitical issues and regulatory changes. Its demand in downstream industries like agriculture for fertilizer production affects its price and availability. Other economic conditions and government policies also play important roles, as economic instability leads to price volatility. Also, transportation costs and logistics are important as phosphoric acid is often transported via sea routes, making it subjected to shipping rate fluctuations. Also, advancements in production technology affect both the cost and quality of phosphoric acid, further affecting its industrial procurement.

The procurement of phosphate rock is affected by several factors. The changes in its demand and supply because of agricultural needs impacts its prices and availability. The costs of transportation are also important as efficient transport infrastructure improves economic capability. The quality of phosphate deposits affects their mineability, along with geopolitical factors, as the concentration of production in a few countries creates supply instability. Also, environmental considerations that include water availability for mining operations and regulatory constraints on mining practices further affect its industrial procurement.

Manufacturing Process

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

• From Phosphoric Acid: The feedstock for this process includes sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, and phosphate rock.

The manufacturing of tricalcium phosphate involves a reaction between sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, and phosphate rock. The mixture of these compounds goes through heating at sufficiently high temperatures. During calcination, the thermal energy causes the fluorine values in the phosphate rock to evolve. The sulfuric and phosphoric acids react with the phosphate rock, forming tricalcium phosphate as the final product.
 

Properties of Tricalcium Phosphate

Tricalcium phosphate has a molecular formula of Ca3(PO4)2 and a molecular weight of 310.18 g/mol. It is a white, crystalline powder that is odorless and tasteless. It has a density of 3.14 g/cm³ and a high melting point of 1670 °C. It is practically insoluble in water but readily dissolves in dilute hydrochloric and nitric acids but insoluble in alcohols and acetic acid. It is stable and not highly reactive, which makes it useful in fertilizers, food additives, dental products, and as a calcium supplement in various applications.
