Lithopone Production By Precipitation Reaction
Production Cost Report | Chemicals
Details: Germany - based plant Q2 2024 | From $ USD
This report entails the detailed cost evaluation of lithopone production by precipitation reaction. The production process is initiated by the chemical reaction between barium sulfide and zinc sulfate. The reaction results in the precipitation of lithopone in a mixture of barium sulfate and zinc sulfide. The process is carried out further by filtration of lithopone precipitates, which is then calcinated by heating it at a high temperature of 600 °C (approx.) and producing lithopone as the final product.

Feedstock for Lithopone
Lithopone is a white pigment prepared by using barium sulfide and zinc sulfate as its primary feedstock. The procurement of lithopone is majorly determined by some of the crucial factors, including the availability of its raw materials (including zinc metal, sulfuric acid, barium carbonate, etc., that are further used for zinc sulfate and barium sulfide production), the extraction cost for zinc (which is further used for zinc sulfate production), the production cost of lithopone, and the variations in its market prices, etc. Moreover, other factors, including the demand for lithopone in the chemical coating, plastic, and rubber industries, along with its logistics, trading, and transportation activities altogether, influence its procurement globally.
