Calcium Carbonate Production Costs - Q1 2022
Calcium Carbonate Operating Costs & Plants Capital Investment
Calcium Carbonate (a.k.a. CaCO3) is a non-toxic and odorless inorganic salt, commonly found as a white mineral (calcite) which occurs naturally in chalks, limestones and marbles. These rocks are classified as limestones, a general term used for a rock containing varying proportions of calcite and dolomite. In nature, it can also be found as the main component of shells, pearls and eggs. The quality of Calcium Carbonate depends on some factors: purity, whiteness, homogeneity, and thickness. Calcium carbonate is a very versatile mineral filler and has in a wide variety of applications.
Intratec offers professional, easy-to-understand reports examining Calcium Carbonate production costs. Each study describes an industrial plant, including main process units and site infrastructure, and presents an independent analysis of capital and operating costs. All reports are based on the most recent economic data available (Q1 2022).
Calcium Carbonate Production from Limestone
This report presents the economics of Precipitated Calcium Carbonate (PCC) production from limestone in the United States, via a typical process. Limestone is first calcinated. The product reacts with water producing calcium hydroxide, which is further carbonated with carbon dioxide from calcination to produce PCC.
Details: 50 kta United States-based plant | Q1 2022 | 106 pages From $799 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report Calcium Carbonate E11A target a 50 kta (kilometric tons per annum) United States-based plant. For those interested in cost analyses considering other plant capacities and/or locations, Intratec offers a customized analysis as an optional feature.
Calcium Carbonate Production from Lime and Carbon Dioxide
This report presents the economics of Calcium Carbonate production from lime in the United States, via a typical process. In this process, lime reacts with water producing calcium hydroxide, which is further carbonated with carbon dioxide to produce PCC.
Details: 50 kta United States-based plant | Q1 2022 | 106 pages From $799 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report Calcium Carbonate E21A target a 50 kta (kilometric tons per annum) United States-based plant. For those interested in cost analyses considering other plant capacities and/or locations, Intratec offers a customized analysis as an optional feature.
Calcium Carbonate Production from Lime and Soda Ash
This report presents the economics of Precipitated Calcium Carbonate (PCC) production from lime and sodium carbonate in the United States, via a conventional lime-soda process. In this process, calcium hydroxide is generated by treating lime with water. Then, calcium hydroxide reacts with soda ash. Besides PCC, an aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide is also obtained as product.
Details: 50 kta United States-based plant | Q1 2022 | 108 pages From $1,199 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report Calcium Carbonate E31A target a 50 kta (kilometric tons per annum) United States-based plant. For those interested in cost analyses considering other plant capacities and/or locations, Intratec offers a customized analysis as an optional feature.
