Which Method Has Lower Cost of Ammonium Metatungstate, Neutralization Method or Extraction Method?

Cost structure of neutralization method

Raw material cost

The main raw materials are ammonium paratungstate (APT) and nitric acid. Raw material prices are affected by market fluctuations. Based on the current price, the cost of potassium dihydrogen phosphate per ton (although different from ammonium metatungstate, it can be used as a reference) is about 7,500 yuan, of which the cost of raw materials accounts for a large part.

Other costs

In addition to the cost of raw materials, it also includes coal consumption for evaporation of water, labor, electricity, packaging, depreciation, financial expenses, etc., which are about 500 yuan per ton.

Features

Short process flow, mature technology, and few equipment.

High product quality, low energy consumption, and low investment.

However, the production cost is relatively high and it is difficult to apply to agriculture. It is mainly used to produce food, medicine and industrial-grade products.

Cost structure of extraction method

Raw material cost

The main raw materials are wet-process phosphoric acid and potassium chloride, as well as expensive organic solvents.

Other costs Compared with the neutralization method, the raw material cost of the extraction method may be relatively low, but the price of organic solvents is expensive and difficult to recover, which leads to higher production costs.

Features

The product quality is high, with a purity of up to 99%.

The production cost is about 25% lower than that of the neutralization method, but the actual cost may still be higher due to the high cost and difficulty of recycling organic solvents.

The production process is simple, the equipment investment is small, it is easy to operate, the production is safe, the product quality is stable, and the utilization rate of raw materials is high.

Cost comparison

Raw material cost

The raw material cost of the extraction method may be relatively low, but the expensive price of organic solvents is an important factor.

Other costs

The other costs of the neutralization method (such as labor, electricity, etc.) are relatively low, while the extraction method may increase additional processing costs due to the difficulty of recycling organic solvents.

Total cost

Although the raw material cost of the extraction method may be lower, its total cost may still be higher than that of the neutralization method due to the high cost and difficulty of recycling organic solvents.

Based on the above analysis, although the extraction method may be slightly lower than the neutralization method in terms of raw material cost, its total cost may still be higher than that of the neutralization method due to the high cost and difficulty of recycling organic solvents. Therefore, in terms of cost, the neutralization method is relatively more advantageous. However, it should be noted that the specific cost comparison still needs to be comprehensively considered based on market conditions, production scale, technical level and other factors.
