Silica Gel Production Costs - Q2 2023
Silica Gel Operating Costs & Plants Capital Investment
Silica Gel (a.k.a. Silicon dioxide) is an inorganic compound, an amorphous form of silicon dioxide. It is a white, spherical, porous solid, with a range of particle sizes. Silica gel is usually classified depending on its density, as regular, intermediate and low types. It was discovered in the 1640s, however it only began industrial production in the beginning of the nineteenth century. The gel exhibits a high capacity to absorb water and other polar compounds due to its highly porous structure. These characteristics make water absorption silica gel’s primary use.
Intratec offers professional, easy-to-understand reports examining Silica Gel 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 (Q2 2023).
Silica Gel Production
This report presents the economics of Silica Gel production from sodium silicate and hydrochloric acid in the United States. Initially, sodium silicate is neutralized with hydrochloric acid, forming silica hydrosol. This hydrosol is then washed and dried, producing silica hydrogel.
