According to the study “Asia
Deoxidant Industry Situation and Prospects Research report”, with the
ever-growing population in Asia, there is an increasing demand for food,
beverages, pharmaceuticals, power, oil, gas, chemical, pulp and paper products.
Therefore, there is an increasing use of deoxidants in these industries to
sustain the shelf life of products. Deoxidants protect these products against
colour changes and fat rancidity. Due to the rising application of deoxidants
in foods, cosmetics, and animal feed additives, it was predicted that there
would be a steady growth in Asian markets.
Any deoxidant reduces oxygen content in a metal or oxide compounds during a manufacturing
process. Additionally, antioxidants are used as stabilizers
during storage of food prodcuts. Deoxidation is an
important process in steel manufacturing process because oxygen content
determines the quality of steel produced. Oxygen is an impurity within
metals and which defines the mechanical properties of metals. Almost all metals
are deoxidized by reaction with elements that have a greater affinity for
oxygen than the metal being treated. Ferroalloys is one such alloy that can be
used as deoxidant. The degree of deoxidation represents the final concentration of oxygen
in a metal, deoxidizer’s concentration, temperature, and stability of the oxide
product. For efficient deoxidization, the products of deoxidation reaction should
not remain as non-metallic deoxidizer. They need to be removed in the form of liquid
slag, which assimilates the oxides. Deoxidation is used in various processes of
nonferrous metallurgy that helps reduction of agents containing carbon.
Geographically, Asia
deoxidant industry is spread across China, Japan, India, Korea, Saudi Arabia
and other regions. Metallic deoxidizer and non-metallic deoxidizer are the two
categories within the Asia deoxidant industry. The major applications of
deoxidants are food, beverages, pharmaceuticals, power, oil, gas, chemicals,
pulp and paper industries. The leading players in Asia deoxidant industry are Mitsubishi
Gas Chemical Company (Japan), BASF SE (Germany), Ecolab Inc. (US), Clariant
Ltd. (Switzerland), Kemira OYJ (Finland), Arkema Group, Baker Hughes
Incorporated, Sealed Air Corporation, Solenis LLC, Suez Water UK, Accepta Water
Treatment, Aditya Birla Chemicals, Chemfax Products Ltd., Chemtex Speciality
Limited, Eastman Chemical Company, Esseco UK Limited and Guardian Chemicals
Inc.
Deoxidants and health are thriving
together due to increasing cardiovascular diseases and cancer in Asia.
Consumers are concerned about use of synthetic to natural ingredients in food
products. Deoxidation process retain the value of foods that adhere to regulation,
preparation, processing functionality such as in oils and fried products, to
fruit and vegetables and cereal products. With increasing usage of deoxidants
in various industries, the market for deoxidant in Asia will witness a drastic
growth over the next few years.
