Feedstock for Zinc Nitrate

The manufacturing of zinc nitrate requires zinc metal and nitric acid as the major feedstock. The variations in the market dynamics of these raw materials affect the production of zinc nitrate.

The procurement of zinc metal as a raw material is affected by several factors. Factors like production levels, mining costs, and smelter capacities impact the price and availability of zinc metal. Other conditions, like global economic growth and trade policies, further impact its price and availability. Environmental regulations impose stricter controls on mining and smelting operations that further affect zinc metal procurement. Also, alternative materials like aluminum and magnesium affect zinc demand, and changes in production costs due to labor, transportation, and technological advancements further affect its industrial procurement.

The sourcing of nitric acid is affected by several factors that impact its prices and availability. Its demand in the agricultural sector, as well as in other downstream industries like polymers and explosives, affects its sourcing. The prices of the main raw material used in its production, like anhydrous ammonia, also affect its procurement. Stricter environmental regulations and trade policies further affect its production capabilities and costs. Other economic factors like inflation, currency fluctuations, and weather conditions can disrupt agricultural activities and influence the overall industrial procurement of nitric acid.
 

Market Drivers for Zinc Nitrate

The market of zinc nitrate is driven by several factors. Its usage as a strong oxidizing agent contributes to its demand in the chemical industry in the manufacturing of zinc-based chemicals. Its usage in dyeing processes boosts its demand in the textile industry. Its utilization in agrochemical sectors for the production of fertilizers contributes to its demand in the agrochemical industry. It works as a chemical catalyst in the production of different chemical compounds, which makes it a popular product in many chemical processes. In North America agricultural need for micronutrients to enhance crop yields drives zinc nitrate demand. Europe’s market is growing because of strict regulations and a focus on sustainable organic farming. The Asia-Pacific market is the largest market because of the industrial expansion and agricultural development in this region.

The CAPEX for zinc nitrate production includes the costs of chemical reactors (glass-lined or stainless steel), storage tanks, scrubbers or gas treatment systems, and heat exchangers. It also includes plate-and-frame filters or centrifuges and crystallizers, along with rotary dryers or vacuum dryers. Other equipment like pumps, agitators, and monitoring systems also come under CAPEX. OPEX consists of repeated investments like costs of raw materials, energy costs, labor costs, and maintenance costs. Other costs like environmental compliance costs and logistics costs for transportation of raw materials and distribution are also covered by OPEX.
 

Manufacturing Process

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

• From Zinc Metal: The feedstock for this process includes zinc metal and nitric acid.

The manufacturing process of zinc nitrate uses zinc metal. In this process, zinc metal is reacted with nitric acid, which forms zinc nitrate. The concentration of nitric acid used affects the by-products produced during this reaction. After the reaction, the mixture goes through separation and purification, and the product is quality tested to get pure zinc nitrate as the final product.
 

Properties of Zinc Nitrate

Zinc nitrate has a molecular formula of Zn(NO3)2 and a molecular weight of around 189.40 g/mol. It is a white to colorless crystalline solid with a density of around 2.065 g/cm³. It is highly soluble in water and alcohol. It has a melting point of around 110°C and a boiling point of 125°C. It dissociates in water to produce zinc ions and nitrate ions. It goes through thermal decomposition on heating. It is non-combustible but accelerates the burning of other combustible materials and can absorb moisture from the air.
