Selenious Acid is an oxoacid of selenium that finds diverse industrial applications, mainly in glass manufacturing, and chemical and pesticide production. It is widely used as a component in the production of colored glasses, glass coatings, and selenium-based pigments due to its ability to impart vibrant colors. It is also utilized as a raw material in the synthesis of selenium-containing compounds used in pharmaceuticals and agricultural chemicals like pesticides. It is also used to protect steel parts, especially firearms, by forming a blue-grey or black coating through the cold-bluing process. It also finds its application in textile and leather processing to enhance their properties. It is often used as an oxidizing agent for synthesizing 1,2-dicarbonyl compounds, such as glyoxal from acetaldehyde. Selenious acid is also used in preparing selenium electrodes used in electronic devices and solar energy technologies.

Feedstock for Selenious Acid

The feedstock involved in the production of Selenious Acid is Selenium. Selenium is obtained as a byproduct from the refining of metal ores such as copper, nickel, and lead. The production of selenium largely depends on the mining activities of these metals. Variations in the production levels or operational conditions of these mines directly impact the availability and sourcing strategies for selenium. The extraction, use, and disposal of selenium are subject to strict environmental regulations due to its toxic nature. Compliance with these regulations can greatly affect production costs, supply, and sourcing strategies for selenium. Economic instability or changes in export policies in major selenium-producing countries can significantly disrupt the global supply chain of selenium, which also affects its sourcing decisions.
 

Market Drivers for Selenious Acid

The market for Selenious Acid is predominantly driven by its demand as an additive in manufacturing colored glass and as a precursor in the production of pharmaceuticals and agricultural chemicals. Its utilization as an additive in the manufacture of colored glass and selenium-based pigments to provide various hues largely boosts its demand in the glass and printing industries. Its involvement in the textile and leather industries for processing materials during manufacturing further enhances its demand in the textile and leather industries. Its usage as a starting material in synthesizing selenium-containing compounds for manufacturing certain pharmaceuticals and pesticides also promotes its demand in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries. Its application in steel protection by depositing copper selenide on steel surfaces also contributes to its demand in the steel industry. Its usage in making selenium electrodes for its application in electronic devices and solar energy technologies also fuels its demand in the electronic industry.

The production of Selenious Acid depends on the availability of selenium. Selenium is obtained as a byproduct from the refining of copper and other metals. Therefore, the production and operational status of these metal refineries directly affects the availability of selenium, which further affects the production and sourcing strategies for Selenious Acid. The demand for Selenious Acid is largely driven by its application in glass manufacturing and chemical industries. Variations in these sectors, due to factors like economic factors or technological advancements can lead to changes in demand, which further impact its pricing and industrial Selenious Acid procurement. Compliance with regulations related to the handling, storage, and disposal of Selenious Acid can further add to costs and impact is procurement decisions.

Capital Expenditures (CAPEX) for manufacturing Selenious Acid involve investments in facility construction, specialized equipment, and infrastructure. The production process requires equipment and machinery like a Reaction Vessel, Mechanical Stirrer, pH Adjustment System, Filtration Units, Drying Oven, Crushing and Pulverizing Equipment, Scrubbing Systems, Settling Tanks, and Centrifuge. CAPEX also includes the costs associated with safety and environmental control systems, which are crucial for handling selenium compounds safely. The operating expenses (OPEX) for producing Selenious Acid primarily cover the costs of raw materials and daily operations. Labor costs and costs of buying raw materials are significant investments involved in the OPEX. The process also requires various chemicals to adjust the pH and stabilize the product, which further adds to the operational expenses. Energy costs for heating and maintaining the required environmental conditions in the reactors, along with ongoing maintenance and compliance with environmental regulations, are also covered under OPEX.
 

Manufacturing Process

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

• Production from Selenium: The feedstock required for this process includes Selenium and Nitric Acid.

In this method, Selenious Acid is produced by using hot nitric acid and selenium as the main raw materials. The process starts with the reaction of hot nitric acid with selenium, during which selenium undergoes oxidation to form selenious acid as the final product.
 

Properties of Selenious Acid

Selenious acid is a colorless, deliquescent crystalline solid that may appear light pink. It has a melting point of 70 degree Celsius (decomposes upon heating) and a density of 3.004 g/mL at 25 degree Celsius. It is highly soluble in water (167 g/100 mL at 20 degree Celsius) and ethanol, but it is insoluble in ammonia. The molar mass of the compound is 128.97 g/mol. The compound is hygroscopic and readily absorbs moisture from the air. It is a diprotic acid with pKa values of 2.62 and 8.32. The molecular formula of the compound is H2SeO3. It can be oxidized to selenic acid (H2SeO4) by strong oxidizers like hydrogen peroxide. It decomposes upon heating to release toxic selenium oxides. Selenious acid is highly toxic via ingestion, inhalation, or skin contact, which causes burns and systemic poisoning. It is important to handle the compound carefully due to its high toxicity.
