Feedstock for Zinc Sulfate

The manufacturing of zinc sulfate involves the usage of two major feedstock, i.e., zinc oxide and sulfuric acid. The change in market dynamics of these raw materials affects the production of zinc sulfate.

The procurement of zinc oxide is affected by its demand in downstream industries like rubber, pharmaceuticals, coatings, and glass. The choice of production processes, either indirect or direct methods, also affects the sourcing of zinc oxide. The changes in price and availability of raw materials, mainly zinc metal, affect procurement costs. Compliance with local and international environmental and safety standards further impacts zinc oxide sourcing. Also, supply chain stability is important as geopolitical factors and environmental challenges can affect the availability and pricing of zinc oxide.

The sourcing of sulfuric acid is influenced by factors like the availability of raw materials such as elemental sulfur and pyrites. The price volatility of these materials and the capital investment required for production facilities also affect their procurement. The regulatory environment imposes strict environmental and safety regulations that can complicate sourcing strategies and increase costs. The logistic challenges, because of the need for specialized transport and storage solutions, as sulfuric acid is a hazardous material, add up to its costs. Its demand in sectors like agriculture, metal processing, and chemical synthesis further affects its price and availability.
 

Market Drivers for Zinc Sulfate

The zinc sulfate market is driven by its usage in the agricultural sector as a micronutrient to improve soil fertility and improving yields. Its utilization in the pharmaceutical industry as an ingredient in dietary supplements and medications boosts its market growth. Its usage in rayon and rubber manufacturing and water treatment makes it a popular product. The fluctuations in raw material prices due to geopolitical issues and environmental concerns affect industrial procurement of zinc sulfate. In North America, its demand is fueled by increased usage in the pharmaceutical sector, mainly in dietary supplements. Europe’s market sees consistent growth because of its use in agrochemicals and chemical synthesis. The Asia-Pacific region leads the market, where agricultural reliance drives the consumption of zinc sulfate. Emerging markets in the Middle East and Africa are expanding due to increasing agricultural activities, while Latin America benefits from the rising adoption of pharmaceuticals and synthetic fibers.

CAPEX for the zinc sulfate production plant includes investments in infrastructure and equipment. The costs of chemical (stainless steel) mixers or agitators and heat exchangers, centrifuges for crystal separation, and rotary or spray dryers are covered under CAPEX. It also includes filtration units, storage tanks, pumps, and control systems, along with safety installations and initial compliance measures. OPEX for running a zinc sulfate production plant includes recurring costs like prices of raw materials, energy expenses, utilities like water, and labor costs. It also includes investment in regular upkeep and replacement of equipment parts, safety, and environmental management costs, along with costs associated with regulatory compliance.
 

Manufacturing Process

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

• From Zinc metal: The feedstock for this process includes zinc oxide and sulfuric acid.

The manufacturing process of zinc sulfate involves zinc oxide and sulfuric acid. In this reaction, zinc oxide reacts with sulfuric acid at moderate temperatures. This leads to the formation of zinc sulfate. Finally, the product is separated and purified to get zinc sulfate as the final product.
 

Properties of Zinc Sulfate

Zinc sulfate has a molecular formula of ZnSO4 and has a molecular weight of 161.47 g/mol. It is a white or colorless crystalline solid with no odor. It has a density of around 3.54 g/cm³ with a melting point of 680 °C and a boiling point of 740 °C. It is highly soluble in water with a pH range of 4.5 to 5.5 in a 1% solution. It is made up of positively charged zinc ions and negatively charged sulfate ions. It works as a strong oxidizing agent and reacts with alkalis to produce zinc hydroxide. It reacts with carbonates and sulfides to yield zinc carbonate and zinc sulfide, respectively. It decomposes on heating above 680 °C to release sulfur dioxide and zinc oxide. All these physical and chemical properties make it useful in agriculture, pharmaceuticals, and various industrial applications.
