The cost of producing phosphoric acid is another critical determinant of its market price. Key production costs include raw materials, energy, labor, and transportation. For instance, fluctuations in the price of sulfuric acid—a primary feedstock used in the production of phosphoric acid—can lead to increased production expenses, impacting the overall price of phosphoric acid. Moreover, rising energy costs, driven by global oil prices or shifts in energy policies, can further exacerbate production costs.

Another important aspect of mining chemicals is their role in stabilizing waste materials. Tailings, which are the residual materials left after ore extraction, can pose significant environmental hazards if not managed properly. Chemical agents can be employed to stabilize tailings, minimizing the leaching of harmful substances into the environment. For instance, adding lime to tailings can neutralize acidity, while binding agents can help solidify the materials, preventing airborne dust and contamination of water sources.

Moreover, sodium dichloroisocyanurate has a lower pH, making it less likely to cause irritation to the skin and eyes when used in swimming pools. This feature contributes to a more pleasant and safer experience for swimmers. Additionally, SDIC provides residual disinfection, meaning it continues to protect water from contamination even after its initial application, which provides an added layer of safety.

4. Disinfection Versatility TCCA can be used for various applications beyond swimming pools, including potable water treatment, agriculture, and industrial sanitation.
