Raw Materials for Zinc Chloride

The manufacturing of zinc chloride is done via a hydrochlorination process, and the major feedstock involved in the process are zinc metal and elemental chlorine. The prices and availability of these raw materials affect the production of zinc chloride.

The sourcing of zinc metal as a raw material is affected by several factors that impact its availability and prices. Its demand in the downstream industries, like the steel industry, construction, automotive, and consumer goods sectors, affects its procurement. The disruptions caused in supply by mine closures, strikes, or natural disasters interrupt the supply chain, leading to price volatility. Government policies that include trade tariffs and regulations also affect zinc metal prices and availability. Low inventory leads to shortages and price increases, while high inventory results in oversupply and price drops. The production costs related to mining and refining zinc impact its procurement, and advancements in production technology lower costs and affect overall supply dynamics.

The procurement of elemental chloride is affected by its prices and availability. Its demand in downstream industries, like chemical manufacturing and water treatment, affects its procurement. The supply chain disruptions because of raw material shortages lead to price fluctuations and affect procurement strategies. The costs of production and raw materials like sodium chloride, along with labor and utilities, further affect its industrial procurement. Adherence to the environmental regulations and safety standards imposed by government agencies also affects elemental chlorine sourcing. The transportation of elemental chlorine requires proper handling and packaging, which further adds to its procurement costs.

Manufacturing Process

For example: This report comprises a thorough value chain evaluation for Zinc Chloride manufacturing and consists of an in-depth production cost analysis revolving around industrial Zinc Chloride manufacturing.

• From Zinc Metal: The feedstock for this process includes zinc metal and elemental chloride.

The production of zinc chloride starts with the reaction of elemental chlorine with zinc, combined with a mixture of chlorine gas and chlorides. The resulting mixture goes through fractional distillation, forming a crude zinc chloride solution. This solution is then processed in a second distillation column, where it is separated into zinc chloride, hydrochloric acid, and sodium chloride. The product is further purified by passing through a cation exchange column to get pure zinc chloride as the final product.
 

Properties of Zinc Chloride

Zinc chloride has a molecular formula of ZnCl2 and a molecular weight of 136.315 g/mol.  It is a white crystalline solid that is highly soluble in water. It has a density of about 2.907 g/cm with a melting point of 290°C and a boiling point of 732°C. It has hygroscopic properties, and it is mildly corrosive to metals. It is an acidic salt with a pH of around 1 for a 6M solution. Its hydrated forms lose water heated to form zinc oxychloride. All these physical and chemical properties make it useful in chemical synthesis and textile processing.
