Potassium Sulfite Production Cost Breakup by Sulfonation Reaction

Details: Germany - based plant Q2 2024  | From $ USD

This report entails the detailed cost evaluation of potassium sulfite production by sulfonation reaction. The preparation of potassium sulfite is initiated by the reactions between sulfurous acid and potassium hydroxide solution. Initially, sulfur dioxide is reacted with water to form sulfurous acid, which serves as the sulfonating agent. Sulfurous acid is further reacted with aqueous potassium hydroxide solution that leads to the sulfonation of potassium hydroxide and produces potassium sulfite as the final product.

  • Advance Scientific & Chemical
  • Alfa Chemistry
  • City Chemical
  • Nacalai Tesque

Feedstocks for Potassium Sulfite

Potassium sulfite is a potassium salt synthesized by using sulfurous acid and potassium hydroxide as its primary feedstocks. The procurement of potassium sulfite and its chief raw materials is determined by different factors. Some of the crucial factors, including the production cost and availability of its feedstocks (including sulfur dioxide, water, potassium carbonate, etc., for sulfurous acid and potassium hydroxide production), stability in the supply, logistics, trade, and transportation activities, have a major impact on its procurement. Moreover, other factors such as the fluctuations in its market prices, its demand observed in the paper, food, textile, and chemical industry (as a chlorinating agent), governmental policies, and economic conditions directly govern its procurement in the global market.
