EDTMP Production Cost Reports

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

EDTMP or ethylenediamine tetra(methylene phosphonic acid) is a high-purity chelating agent that can be used as a consumer dishwashing and laundry detergent, in semiconductor chips to create an integrated circuit, in the medical industry as a carrying agent for radioelement, and as an agent for inspection and therapy. In detergents, it finds use as an incrustation control agent as well as for stabilizing bleach components. It is also employed as a chelating agent in the non-cyanogen electroplating and the printing industries and in the dyeing industry as a water-softening agent. In addition, it is used as a peroxide bleach stabilization agent in textile auxiliaries and oilfield formulations. In the building industry, it can be employed as a high dispersing power for retards setting and ceramic slurries in building materials. Furthermore, it is used in circulating cool water systems and boiler water as a corrosion inhibitor.

The market for EDTMP is driven by its scale inhibition and corrosion control properties, which elevates its demand in water treatment. Its applications in various sectors, such as detergents, oilfield formulations, and textile auxiliaries, amplify its market appeal. Its ability to stabilize bleach components and enhance the performance of cleaning agents contributes to its market demand. Its end-use applications, such as in construction (for cement additives) and agriculture (as a chelating agent for micronutrients), further boost its demand. Its function in radiopharmaceuticals like 153Sm-EDTMP for bone pain management fuels its demand in the medical and pharmaceutical industries. Overall, industrial EDTMP procurement is influenced by its application in various industries such as water treatment, textiles, household products, medical, pharmaceutical, construction, and agriculture industries, the availability of its raw material (phosphorus acid), the cost of its raw material, and regulatory approvals.

Raw Material for EDTMP Production

According to the EDTMP manufacturing plant project report, the key raw material used in the production of EDTMP includes phosphorous acid. 

Manufacturing Process of EDTMP

The extensive EDTMP production cost report consists of the following major industrial manufacturing process:

• Production via a modified Mannich-type reaction: The manufacturing process of EDTMP occurs via the modified Mannich-type reaction. It starts with mixing phosphorus acid with concentrated hydrochloric acid under a nitrogen atmosphere. In the next step, Ethylenediamine dihydrochloride is added dropwise to the acid mixture, followed by heating the mixture to reflux to facilitate the reaction. An aqueous solution of formaldehyde (37%) is added dropwise to the refluxing mixture. The mixture is maintained at 100°C under reflux for 4 hours. After 4 hours, the boiling suspension is evaporated under a vacuum to remove any volatile components and concentrate the reaction mixture. The residue is then recrystallized from a water/methanol mixture to purify the EDTMP product.

EDTMP, or Ethylenediamine tetra (methylene phosphonic acid) (C6H20N2O12P4), is a strong complexing agent that is a great chelating agent. It is a phosphonic acid that is classified as a nitrogenous organic polyphosphoric acid. EDTMP is a broad-spectrum scale inhibitor that is especially effective against barium sulfate and calcium sulfate. It is an excellent chemical that has great thermal stability. It has a molecular weight of 436.12. The chemical looks like a white crystal powder that appears to be solid. It has a low solubility in water (with a solubility of less than 5% at room temperature). It has a melting point in the range of 215-217 °C.
