Methylene Blue Production By Oxidation Reaction
Production Cost Report | Energy, Metals and Minerals
Details: Germany - based plant Q2 2024 | From $ USD
This report entails the detailed cost evaluation of methylene blue production by oxidation reaction. The synthesis of methylene blue begins with the chemical reaction between N, N-dimethyl-phenylenediamine, and sodium dichromate, forming a mixture in the presence of sodium thiosulfate. The mixture is further oxidized in the presence of N, N-dimethylaniline, which leads to the formation of methylene blue as a resultant product. The resultant is then isolated by adding hydrochloric acid and a saturated common salt solution (such as sodium chloride) in the mixture, which is then filtered and washed with a common salt solution, yielding methylene blue as the final product.

Feedstock for Methylene Blue
Methylene blue is a chemical reagent synthesized by using N, N-dimethyl-phenylenediamine, and sodium dichromate as its chief raw materials. The procurement for methylene blue is prominently governed by various factors, including the availability of its feedstocks (including aniline, methyl chloride, sodium carbonate, etc., for the production of N, N-dimethyl-phenylenediamine and sodium dichromate), extraction cost of chromite ore (for chromium, used in synthesizing sodium dichromate, that serves as a feedstock for methylene blue), etc.
Similarly, the stability in the supply of methylene blue in the market and trading activities adds up to the factors influencing its procurement. Additionally, other factors mainly associated with its market dynamics, including the demand observed for methylene blue in chemical, medical, and textile industries, as well as its logistics, transportation, and governmental policies altogether, have a significant impact on its procurement across various regions.
