Feedstock for Glyoxylic Acid

The direct raw material required to produce Glyoxylic acid is maleic acid. Various factors affect the prices and availability of maleic acid. The production of maleic acid depends on feedstock like maleic anhydride, which is derived from benzene. Thus, the fluctuations in benzene prices, driven by crude oil market trends, impact production costs for maleic acid.

The demand for maleic acid from various downstream industries and sectors, like unsaturated polyester resins, food additives, polymers, textiles, and biodegradable plastics, influences its prices. Factors such as maintenance shutdowns at manufacturing plants reduce supply and increase prices. Supply chain disruptions, such as those caused by logistical challenges (shipping interruptions), limited availability, and increased transportation costs, also impact the prices.

Also, currency fluctuations affect export competitiveness and import costs, which influences regional pricing dynamics. Further, geopolitical tensions and conflicts disrupt trade routes, strain the global supply chains, and create uncertainties, which ultimately impact the procurement of maleic acid.
 

Market Drivers for Glyoxylic Acid

The market demand for Glyoxylic acid is majorly driven by its usage in multiple downstream industries and sectors such as pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, personal care, agrochemicals, textiles, leather, electroplating, water treatment, food, laboratory applications, etc. Its utilization in the synthesis of various pharmaceutical compounds, such as vitamins and antibiotics, elevates its demand in the pharmaceutical industry. Its function in the production of agrochemicals, such as herbicides and insecticides, boosts its market growth in the agrochemical industry. Its usage in hair treatments and skin care formulations fuels its market expansion in the cosmetics and personal care industries. Also, its function as a bio-based chemical aligns with the global rise in the trend towards eco-friendly products, which further promotes its market value.

The industrial Glyoxylic acid procurement is impacted by the fluctuations in the prices and availability of its raw materials, mainly maleic acid. Also, various equipment, apparatus, and machinery, such as an ozonation reactor (Büchi ozone reactor or a glass-lined reactor), ozone generation system, mixing system (agitator or stirrer), cooling system, and filtration system, are required for the production process. Thus, the initial cost of purchasing and installing the equipment, as well as the construction of a manufacturing plant, contributes to the overall capital expenditures (CAPEX) for Glyoxylic acid. Additionally, operational expenditures (OPEX) for producing Glyoxylic acid include the day-to-day costs required for the production process, such as procurement of raw materials (maleic acid), utilities (electricity, water, and steam), the costs of maintenance and repair of the machinery and equipment, environmental compliance, and insurance and safety measures.
 

Manufacturing Process

This report comprises a thorough value chain evaluation for Glyoxylic Acid manufacturing and consists of an in-depth production cost analysis revolving around industrial Glyoxylic Acid manufacturing.

• Production from Maleic Acid: The feedstock required for the industrial manufacturing process includes maleic acid.

The production process of Glyoxylic acid occurs via the treatment of aqueous solution of maleic acid. The process is initiated with the treatment of the aqueous solution of maleic acid (C4H4O4) under controlled pressure and at a constant temperature in the range of 15° to 25° C. The process produces glyoxylic acid as the final product.
 

Properties of Glyoxylic Acid

Glyoxylic acid (C2H2O3) is a two-carbon molecule having two hydrogen atoms and three oxygen atoms, which includes one aldehyde and one carboxylic acid group. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pungent odor. It solidifies at a temperature of 15°C in its monohydrate form, and it decomposes upon heating above a temperature of 100°C. Glyoxylic acid is highly soluble in water and polar solvents like ethanol, but it has low solubility in nonpolar solvents such as benzene and ethyl ether. It has a density of about 1.27 g/cm³ and a pH of 2.5 in aqueous solutions. It is corrosive and hygroscopic that demands careful handling and storage. It has a molecular weight of 75 g/mol.
