Additionally, it also finds broad application in the preparation of various organometallic complexes due to its good stability.

The market of Iridium Chloride is largely led by its application as a precursor in the production of various iridium compounds and iridium catalysts, which significantly promotes its demand in the chemical manufacturing industry. Moreover, its employment in the synthesis of various organometallic complex compounds that are further used in the production of various pharmaceuticals and other drugs remarkably accelerates its demand in the medicinal chemistry and pharmaceutical industries. Furthermore, several factors influence industrial Iridium chloride procurement, such as the availability of raw materials (metal iridium powder, etc.), cost and pricing, regulatory compliance, quality standards, technological advancements, environmental considerations, sustainability practices, distribution (including trading and shipping), logistics, safety standards, etc.

Raw Material for Iridium Chloride Production

According to the Iridium Chloride manufacturing plant project report, the major raw materials for Iridium Chloride production include Metal Iridium Powder-Chlorine (Cl2).

Manufacturing Process of Iridium Chloride

The extensive Iridium Chloride production cost report consists of the following industrial manufacturing process:

• Production from Metal Iridium Powder: This method of production is initiated by placing the metal iridium powder in the porcelain boat and then into the combustion tube, whose one end is equipped with a ground joint and the other end serves as the gas inlet end. Further, chlorine (Cl2), which contains a small amount of carbon monoxide (CO) and no oxygen, is poured into the tube, followed by heating the combustion tube to 600°C by using a blowtorch flame and irradiating it with direct sunlight or with strong light from a magnesium strip, which results in the formation of anhydrous iridium chloride (IrCl3) after 15 minutes of chlorination.
