Ammonium Alginate Production Cost Breakup From Alginic Acid and Ammonia

Details: Germany - based plant Q1 2024  | From $ USD

This report provides an extensive cost evaluation of ammonium alginate production from alginic acid and ammonia. The preparation begins with the extraction of alginic acid from the cell walls of brown algae. The alginate, present in the cell walls of the seaweed variety, is acidified using a strong acidic compound such as HCl. Acidification of the alginate results in the production of alginic acid, which is further reacted with ammonia, purified, and dried to result in the formation of ammonia alginate salt as an end product.

  • Cargill
  • DuPont
  • Protan AS
  • SNAP Natural & Alginate Products Pvt Ltd

Feedstocks for Ammonium Alginate

Ammonium alginate is an organic chemical that can be obtained chemically using ammonia and alginic acid as its major feedstocks. The procurement of ammonium alginate is influenced by different factors related to the market dynamics of its feedstocks. Some of the vital factors include the supply of raw materials from the upstream industries, production rate, production cost, and stability in the supply chain of the downstream market. These factors, together, stand as potential influencers that can impact the overall demand, prices, and procurement of the feedstocks used for ammonium alginate in the global market.
