As an important raw material for sulfur dioxide oxidation catalyst, the cesium sulfate industry has broad development prospects.
Cesium Sulfate is the cesium salt of sulfuric acid. It is a chemical substance with the molecular formula Cs2SO4. It appears as colorless rhombic or white needle-shaped crystals. It is toxic and has a pungent odor. It is easily soluble in water and insoluble in ethanol and alcohol. Acetone and pyridine.
There are currently two mainstream production paths for cesium sulfate. One is to use cesium carbonate aqueous solution as raw material, and generate cesium sulfate through heating and stirring, sulfuric acid neutralization, cesium hydroxide preparation, filtration, evaporation, crystallization, drying and other steps; the second is to use cesium carbonate aqueous solution as raw material. A method of producing cesium sulfate using a cesium carbonate aqueous solution as raw material, diluting with dilute sulfuric acid, heating, filtering, evaporating, crystallizing, drying and other steps. In addition, cesium sulfate can also be produced through high-salt wastewater extraction, chlorination roasting and other processes. The production methods are relatively diverse.
According to the “China Cesium Sulfate Industry Market Monitoring and Future Development Prospects Research Report 2023-2027” released by the Industrial Research Center, Cesium sulfate has a wide range of applications. It can be used as an analytical reagent in trace analysis fields such as aluminum and trivalent berkelium. It can be used as a raw material for producing mineral water in the brewing field. It can be used as a catalyst for oxidizing sulfur dioxide in the field of automobile exhaust treatment. To reduce SO2 tail gas emissions; it can be used as a raw material to generate cesium hydroxide for use in fuel cells, catalysts, bioengineering and other fields.
Among them, analytical reagents are the main application scenario of cesium sulfate, and catalysts are the application scenario with the most development potential of cesium sulfate. Cesium sulfate can work with vanadium or vanadium pentoxide to generate a catalyst for oxidizing sulfur dioxide. This type of catalyst product can effectively reduce the emission of SO2 pollutants in automobile exhaust. Currently, against the background of the continuous advancement of domestic dual-carbon goals and the strengthening of environmental protection supervision, the market demand for sulfur dioxide oxidation catalysts has continued to increase, which in turn has driven the demand for raw material cesium sulfate to continue to rise, and the industry has good development prospects.
There are many cesium sulfate production companies in my country. The main companies include Shanghai Yuanye Biotechnology, Shanghai Jixiang Biotechnology, Shanghai McLean Biochemical Technology, Shanghai Zhongli Industry, Jiangxi Ganfeng Lithium Industry Group, Hubei Shixing Chemical Industry, Wuhan Kanos Science and Technology, Hubei Tesco Chemical, Hunan Jinjinle Chemical, etc. are mostly small and medium-sized enterprises with low industry concentration.
Industry analysts said that cesium sulfate is an important chemical raw material and can be widely used in trace analysis, brewing, chemical industry, and automobile exhaust. processing and other fields, with a wide range of applications. With the rapid development of application fields, the domestic market demand for cesium sulfate continues to increase, and the industry shows good development prospects. However, at the same time, the concentration of my country’s cesium sulfate industry is still relatively low. In the future, local companies will need to increase their efforts in technological research, continue to enhance their differentiated competitiveness, and promote the continuous improvement of industry concentration.
