4A Zeolite Production Cost Reports

The report provides a detailed analysis essential for establishing a 4A Zeolite manufacturing plant. It encompasses all critical aspects necessary for 4A Zeolite production, including the cost of 4A Zeolite production, 4A Zeolite plant cost, 4A Zeolite production costs, and the overall 4A Zeolite manufacturing plant cost. Additionally, the study covers specific expenditures associated with setting up and operating a 4A Zeolite production plant. These encompass manufacturing processes, raw material requirements, utility requirements, infrastructure needs, machinery and technology requirements, manpower requirements, packaging requirements, transportation requirements, and more.

4A Zeolite is a synthetic, crystalline, hydrated, inorganic compound based on sodium and aluminosilicate. The compound is majorly associated with applications as a water softener and cracking catalyst in chemical and cosmetics industries. 4A Zeolite is widely used as a water softener for household detergents. The compound, in washing water, exchanges its Na2+ with Ca2+, which restrains it from reacting with detergent surfactants to improve the cleaning performance.

It is also used as a catalyst in refining petroleum. Its primary role is as an environmental-friendly substitute for STPP with similar efficiency. Furthermore, due to its porous structure, it is used as molecular sieves, beads, and pellets that find use in industries like medicine, natural gas, refineries, coal chemical, and to generate oxygen, etc.

The market for 4A Zeolite is majorly driven by its demand as a water softener, detergent, and cracking catalyst in the chemical, pharmaceutical, and cosmetics industries. Its application, chiefly in the production of chemical detergents and cleansing products for household and commercial uses, drives its demand on a large scale.

Its efficiency as a grease or stain remover and ecofriendly detergent increases its usage in the production of chemical cleansing products and boosts its demand in the chemical industry. Similarly, its usage in the production of personal care products and medications also fuels its demand in cosmetics and healthcare sectors.

Industrial 4A Zeolite procurement is governed by various factors related to its complex market dynamics. Factors including its production cost, market prices, logistics, distribution, and governmental policies altogether impact its procurement. Moreover, its demand as an eco-friendly detergent and water-softening agent in cleansers also adds up to the factors influencing its procurement across various regions. Therefore, variations in its demand for chemical, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical products have a significant impact on its procurement.

Raw Material for 4A Zeolite Production

According to the 4A Zeolite manufacturing plant project report, the key raw materials for 4A Zeolite production includes kaolin and sodium.

Manufacturing Process of 4A Zeolite

The extensive 4A Zeolite production cost report consists of the major industrial manufacturing process(es):

• From Kaolin and Sodium: The manufacturing process of 4A Zeolite is initiated by the conversion of kaolin to metakaolin at a high temperature. Through the ion exchange technique, a sodium ion is inserted into the kaolin structure, leading to the production of 4A Zeolite at the end.

4A Zeolite is a hydrated silicate of aluminium and either sodium or calcium or both. It is a synthetic zeolite activated by a thermal process for removing water from crystallisation. It is a kind of aluminosilicate crystal that has average pores measuring 4 angstroms (0.4 nm), usually used for dehydration in air brake systems and natural gas drying.

It appears to be a white powder with a whiteness of ≥95 %. It is an inorganic product that has very high porosity. Its pH value is ≤11, and its Particle size is D50 μm 2-6. It has a density of g/cm3 0.38-0.45. It is not soluble in water, alcohol, and organic solvents but somewhat soluble in strong acids and alkali hydroxides. Its melting point is >1600 °C (2,912 °F, 1,873.15 °K). By nature, it is chemically stable under environments that are basic, neutral, and mildly acidic. It should be stored under conditions that are away from acid, water, and alkali and in tight sealing and isolation.
