Barium Nitrate Production Cost Reports

The report provides a detailed analysis essential for establishing a Barium Nitrate manufacturing plant. It encompasses all critical aspects necessary for Barium Nitrate production, including the cost of Barium Nitrate production, Barium Nitrate plant cost, Barium Nitrate production costs, and the overall Barium Nitrate manufacturing plant cost. Additionally, the study covers specific expenditures associated with setting up and operating a Barium Nitrate 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.

Barium Nitrate is an inorganic chemical compound used in explosives and in vacuum tubes to create green fire in pyrotechnics. It also has applications in making products such as detonators, paints (used as a primary constituent), green signal lights, fuel, rodenticide (it prevents several rodents, like mice and rats, from entering the premises), ceramic glazes, primers, and tracer bullets as well as a blowing agent. In glasswork factories, it is employed to make high-quality glass items as the compound’s attached oxygen molecule can prevent the discoloration of the glass item. In the military sector, it is used to produce tracer bullets, which are placed at the end of such ammunition, as it means one can follow the exact route of the bullet due to the presence of charge lights.

The market for Barium Nitrate is driven by its application in the production of fireworks for creating green flames, which elevates its demand in fireworks and pyrotechnics. Its utilization in military applications, including tracer bullets and flares, and as an oxidizer in explosives amplifies its market growth. Its employment in the production of high-quality glass items fuels its demand in the glass industry.

The compound’s ability to serve as a precursor for producing other barium compounds, such as barium chloride and barium hydroxide, contributes to its demand in the chemical industry. Its usage as a fertilizer due to its potential to improve soil quality and crop yields boosts its demand in the agriculture industry. Overall, industrial Barium Nitrate procurement is influenced by its application in fireworks and pyrotechnics, its utilization in the military, its employment in the glass industry, its ability to serve as a precursor in the chemical industry, its usage in the agriculture industry, and research and development.

Raw Material for Barium Nitrate Production

According to the Barium Nitrate manufacturing plant project report, the key raw materials used in the production of Barium Nitrate include barium carbonate; barium metal; barium oxide.

Manufacturing Process of Barium Nitrate

The extensive Barium Nitrate production cost report consists of the following major industrial manufacturing processes:

• Production from barium carbonate: The manufacturing process of Barium Nitrate involves the reaction of barium carbonate (BaCO3) with nitric acid (HNO3), followed by filtration to remove any impurities. Finally, the filtrate is evaporated and crystallized to produce Barium Nitrate.
• Production from barium metal: The production process involves the reaction of barium metal with nitric acid to produce Barium Nitrate and hydrogen gas.
• Production from barium oxide: The production process involves the reaction of barium oxide with nitric acid to produce Barium Nitrate and water.

Barium Nitrate, also referred to as barium dinitrate, is a white crystalline solid having the molecular formula Ba(NO3)2 or BaN2O6 and a molecular weight of 261.337 g/mol. It is a metallic alkaline earth metal. It is non-combustible but speeds up the burning of combustible materials. It may explode when in contact with heat or fire for a prolonged period of time, leading to toxic oxides of nitrogen. It has a density of 3.24 g/cm3. It has a melting point of 592 °C. Its solubility in water is 10.3 g/100 g at 25 °C. It also dissolves to some extent in ethanol and acetone. The substance is an extremely strong oxidizing agent that can easily oxide certain metals.
