Hydrochloric Acid Market Dynamics

Driver: Steel pickling to drive demand for hydrochloric acid

Steel is a critical industry and related to growth. It is the material of choice for many elements of manufacturing, construction, transportation, and various consumer products. According to worldsteel.org, the world’s crude steel production in 2021 was 1,951 million tons. This increases the demand for hydrochloric acid for the application of steel pickling. Hydrochloric acid removes rust or iron oxide scale from iron or steel before undergoing further processing, such as extrusion, rolling, and galvanizing. The most used pickling agent for carbon steel grades is technical quality hydrochloric acid, which is typically 18% concentrated. The hydrochloric acid regeneration techniques, such as the fluidized bed hydrochloric acid regeneration process or the spray roaster, were created by the steel pickling industry and allowed the recovery of hydrochloric acid. The pyro hydrolysis procedure is the most typical regeneration method. A closed acid loop is created by recovering the used acid. The regeneration process's valuable by-product, iron (III) oxide, is used in various secondary industries.

Restraint: Sources of air emissions from pulp and paper mills

The flue gas from the kraft recovery furnace is the primary source of hydrochloric acid emissions from pulp and paper mills. Both direct contact evaporator (DCE) and non-direct contact evaporator (NDCE) recovery furnaces release it. High concentrations of chemicals such as hydrochloric acid, sodium hydroxide, sodium carbonate, sodium sulfide, bisulfites, elemental chlorine or chlorine dioxide, and calcium oxide are found in wastewater produced by this industry's production operations.

One of the most polluting industries in the world is the pulp and paper industry. Pulping and bleaching are the two primary processes in the production process. The pulping industry is the initial step and the main source of pollution. The pulp manufacturing process significantly impacts the environment, with the product's environmental fate representing a secondary but important concern. Paper products constitute the largest single fraction of municipal solid waste. 

The paper industry is a huge consumer of energy. It consumes 4% of all energy used globally, ranking sixth. It also generates garbage on an enormous scale. Paper firms use methods to reduce waste and emissions to be sustainable. These methods range from lowering total energy consumption to employing new technologies to reduce emissions.

Opportunity: Extensive laboratory use of hydrochloric acid

Hydrochloric acid is the monoprotic acid that is least likely to have an interfering oxidation-reduction process among major strong mineral acids, such as sulfuric acid, nitric acid, and phosphoric acid used in chemistry. Despite its acidity, it contains the non-reactive and non-toxic chloride ion, making it one of the least hazardous strong acids to work with. Solutions of intermediate-grade hydrochloric acid are stable when stored and retain their concentrations over time. Hydrochloric acid is an excellent acidifying reagent because of its qualities and the fact that it is available as a pure reagent, along with economical pricing. Hydrochloric acid is preferred in titration to measure the concentration of bases. Strong acid titrants produce more accurate findings since the endpoint is more concise. Although its specific concentration depends on the air pressure when it is prepared, azeotropic, or "constant-boiling," hydrochloric acid (approximately 20.2%) can be used as a primary standard in quantitative analysis.

Challenge: Gaseous chlorine compounds can lead to corrosion

The rate of steel corrosion is considerably accelerated by the presence of hydrochloric acid or molecular chlorine in the gaseous phase. Waste incinerators operate at rates as high as 1000 nm/h. However, the hematite layer is destroyed by the flue gas Hydrochloric acid concentration of 0.8%, while the magnetite (Fe3O4) layer becomes erratic and porous. A few compounds containing chlorine have the potential to produce the gaseous corrosion of metals, but Hydrochloric acid and, to a lesser extent, Cl2 are the ones that do so most frequently. The former is dominant in boiler conditions because flue gas contains water vapor.

Chlorine nevertheless shows the ability to penetrate the oxides' layer of protection. Before reacting with the metal surface to generate chlorides, it diffuses across the layer, passing through any gaps or pores in the scale layer. The potential for oxygen is relatively low at the scale-metal boundary. The oxygen consumption in the formation of oxides results in a low partial pressure of oxygen. Corrosion by gaseous chlorine compounds is formed as a dark multilayer coating of oxides that is weakly adherent to the tube. It is between 0.1 and 0.3 mm thick. A thin, brownish film that is adhered to the surface of the tube is seen when removed. The deposit layer in the specific case of the evaporator is typically thin, but it could be thicker if superheater tubes experience this type of corrosion.

Oil well acidizing segment account for the third largest application of hydrochloric acid

Hydrochloric acid is used to remove rust, scale, and undesirable carbonate deposits in oil wells to increase the flow of crude oil or gas to the well. This use is called "stimulation." Acidizing is generally done in carbonate or limestone formations by stimulation. An acid solution is injected into the formation, which dissolves a portion of the rock and creates a large pore structure, increasing its effective permeability and the flow of oil.

Steel segment account for the third largest end-use industry of hydrochloric acid

Hydrochloric acid is used in pickling operations to remove rust and other impurities from carbon, alloy, and stainless steel, to prepare the steel for final applications in building and construction projects, and in products such as car bodies and household appliances. The steel industry is one of the essential industries for the development of any community. It is the base for numerous industries that could not have been established without the steel industry. Its products also play a crucial role in developing a sustainable society (one that ensures the health and vitality of human life and nature). Steel companies generate employment, export earnings, tax revenues, and innovations. In addition to being one of the most essential materials for building and infrastructure, steel is the enabler of a wide range of manufacturing activities. It also creates opportunities for innovative solutions in other sectors and is indispensable in R&D projects worldwide. This will positively impact the hydrochloric acid market.
