Iron powder method of iron phosphate may rewrite the market landscape?

Green chemistry technology is at the forefront of international chemistry at present. Green chemistry is also known as environmentally sound chemistry, and the technology innovated on its basis is called green chemistry technology, environmentally friendly technology, or clean technology, which is an emerging science that stops environmental pollution at its source, and whose research work mainly revolves around the green chemistry of chemical reactions, raw materials, catalysts, solvents and products. The most ideal green chemical technology is to adopt the 'atomic economy' reaction to realize the greening of the reaction, that is, every atom in the raw material molecule is transformed into a product without producing any waste and by-products, and the ''zero emission' of waste is realized.

Green chemistry emphasizes that the absolute reduction of toxic substances and wastes must be considered on the basis of traditional chemistry, and environmental friendliness should be achieved in all processes of material acquisition, production, storage, and distribution. It can be said that green chemistry and green engineering are sustainable solutions to fundamentally solve environmental problems.

Iron phosphate by iron powder method is produced by the reaction of high-purity powder metallurgy grade iron powder with high-purity phosphoric acid through synthesis, aging, filter pressing, washing, flash evaporation, and other steps. This process route is zero waste water and realizes "green chemistry '.

As a special process for preparing iron phosphate, the iron powder method is not as good as the ammonium method, sodium method, and iron block method in the market, but it is not inferior to other iron phosphate materials in terms of comprehensive performance. Due to the lack of market promotion or asymmetric information, most manufacturers of Ferrous lithium phosphate materials have not fully realized the potential and advantages of the iron powder method. As a result, the iron powder method of iron phosphate often lurks at the edge of the materials market, waiting for the enterprises of insight to discover it.

For lithium iron phosphate material manufacturers or other related sodium electric field practitioners, understanding and exploring cost-effective, customized iron phosphate materials may be able to bring them new opportunities and development direction. Through in-depth research and experimental verification, the iron powder method of iron phosphate is expected to replace or supplement other processes of iron phosphate materials in some specific areas, contributing to the progress and innovation of the lithium iron phosphate industry. 

The advantage of the iron powder method of iron phosphate is that, in addition to producing high-quality, customized iron phosphate, its by-products are mainly hydrogen to be collected and used to reduce the comprehensive energy consumption, wastewater discharge is zero, and the cost of environmental protection treatment is extremely small. Under the background of more and more strict environmental protection requirements, this feature invests in the environmental protection of iron phosphate by the iron powder method, which greatly reduces production costs. The wastewater of the iron powder process route is zero, and the environmental protection pressure is very small. Compared with ammonium and sodium process equipment, the investment in environmental protection treatment equipment is less than 200,000-300,000 yuan per 10,000 tons of production capacity, which is less than the depreciation of 20-30 yuan per ton of finished iron phosphate, and the operation and maintenance expenses of environmental protection equipment are less than that of 150 yuan. 

In terms of technological innovation, we will continue to break through the bottleneck of micro-chemical technology under the production mode of the "big chemical industry" in the preparation process of iron powder iron phosphate, and improve the production efficiency and overall quality of iron powder by introducing advanced metallurgical production equipment and technical means; It is precisely because of continuous technical research that the iron powder method has been iteratively upgraded. Compared with the ammonium method, sodium method, and iron block method, the iron powder method saves more than 12 hours in the production process, and the reaction and synthesis speed is fast. The overall energy consumption is lower than that of the ammonium method, sodium method, and iron block method, which is less than 1000 degrees per ton of finished iron phosphate; Through the technical innovation of powder metallurgy, the purity of the product is further improved, the control of copper and zinc element is extremely low, and the magnetic substances and metal particles of iron powder iron phosphate by iron powder method are extremely low, which fully meet the market demand for high-quality iron phosphate. Completely meet the market demand for high-quality iron phosphate.

In 2024, the total output of iron phosphate was 2.4 million tons, and the ammonium process and the sodium process dominated. In 2025, due to the low operating rate of titanium dioxide production and insufficient supply of ferrous sulfate, there is a considerable possibility of price increases. In 2025, it is conservatively estimated that monoammonium phosphate will have an upward space of 1000 yuan/ton, and ferrous sulfate will rise to 1000 yuan/ton. Due to the decision of the production process, the ammonium process and sodium process iron phosphate can not replace the iron source, which will lead to a large cost of iron source and the whole iron phosphate process will not be affected.

Although the current market recognition is still the highest ammonium method of iron phosphate, the iron powder method of iron phosphate has cost-effective, customized advantages that can not be ignored. Especially for those who have high requirements for the quality of iron phosphate, iron powder iron phosphate is undoubtedly a choice worth focusing on, and the comprehensive production cost is lower than the ammonium, sodium, and iron block methods of iron phosphate. Iron powder method of iron phosphate is a kind of precursor material neglected by Ferrous lithium phosphate material manufacturers. In the future, it will gradually show its unique value through its excellent performance, reasonable price, customization, and green features, and will play a mainstream role in the iron phosphate market in 2025.
