Chemicals
The report provides a detailed analysis essential for establishing a Carboxymethyl Cellulose manufacturing plant. It encompasses all critical aspects necessary for Carboxymethyl Cellulose production, including the cost of Carboxymethyl Cellulose production, Carboxymethyl Cellulose plant cost, Carboxymethyl Cellulose production costs, and the overall Carboxymethyl Cellulose manufacturing plant cost. Additionally, the study covers specific expenditures associated with setting up and operating a Carboxymethyl Cellulose 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.
Carboxymethyl Cellulose is a cellulose derivative mainly used as a viscosity modifier or thickener and emulsifier in food products. It is added to artificial tears and is also useful to treat aqueous tear-deficient dry eye symptoms along with ocular surface staining. It is used in baking gluten-free products. It is also employed as a thickener in fillings and in glazes, which slows the crystallization of sugar. In beer, it finds usage in improving texture and stabilizing foam. It also helps bind water in ice cream, pie fillings, jellies, and cake icings. Other applications include in construction (to compose cement and also acts like a stabilizer and hydrophilic agent), in detergents, paper for reducing wax consumption, as a suspending agent in pesticides and water-based sprays, adhesives, cosmetics, dental impression materials and pastes or gels toothpaste, water-based paints, in oil drilling, textiles, ceramics, in the pharmaceutical industry (for making emulsions, stabilizer for suspensions, sprays and bioadhesive) as well as in medical applications to form gels and prevent adhesions during surgeries, such as heart and thoracic surgeries.
The market for Carboxymethyl Cellulose is driven by its usage as a thickening, stabilizing, and suspending agent in the food industry, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and personal care products. The rising demand for processed foods and beverages amplifies its market appeal. Its function as an excipient in drug formulations, acting as a binder, disintegrant, and viscosity modifier, boosts its demand in the pharmaceutical industry. Its utilization as a stabilizer and hydrophilic agent in cement and building materials fuels its demand in the construction industry. Overall, industrial Carboxymethyl Cellulose procurement is influenced by its application in various industries such as food, pharmaceutical, cosmetics, personal care, beverage, and construction industries, the availability of its raw materials (cellulose, caustic soda, and chloroacetic acid), the cost of its raw materials, the rising demand for processed foods and beverages, sustainability trends, and technological advancements.
Raw Material for Carboxymethyl Cellulose Production
According to the Carboxymethyl Cellulose manufacturing plant project report, the key raw materials used in the production of Carboxymethyl Cellulose include cellulose-caustic soda; cellulose- chloroacetic acid.
Manufacturing Process of Carboxymethyl Cellulose
The extensive Carboxymethyl Cellulose production cost report consists of the following major industrial manufacturing processes:
- Production from cellulose and caustic soda via alkalization: The manufacturing process of Carboxymethyl Cellulose starts with the reaction of cellulose with sodium hydroxide (NaOH) to form alkali cellulose. Finally, monochloroacetic acid or its sodium salt is reacted with the alkali cellulose via etherification reaction to produce Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC) or sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (NaCMC) as the final product.
- Production from cellulose and chloroacetic acid via alkali-catalyzation: The production process of CMC involves the reaction of cellulose with chloroacetic acid to produce Carboxymethyl Cellulose as the final product and sodium chloride and sodium glycolate as the by-products, followed by separation and purification to get the pure Carboxymethyl Cellulose.
Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC) is an anionic cellulose derivative consisting of the cellulose backbone composed of glucopyranose monomers and their hydroxyl groups bound to carboxymethyl groups. It is from the polymer family and is produced via the etherification of native cellulose by substituting hydroxyl groups with carboxymethyl groups in the cellulose chain. It is water-soluble, and its solubility depends on the DP, the degree of substitution, and the uniformity of the substitution distribution. It is a non-toxic product. It has the molecular formula C8H16O8 and a molecular weight of 240.21 g/mol.
