Comparison Between Alpfa TBCC and Beta TBCC
|
Item |
Alpfa TBCC |
Beta TBCC |
| Crystal forms | Atacamite and Paratacamite | Botallackite |
| Dioxins and PCBS | Controlled | Controlled |
| Global research literature and article of bioavailability of TBCC | From alpha TBCC，European regulations indicated only allow alpha TBCC to be sold in the Eu | Very little articles did based on beta TBCC |
| Caking and color changed problems | Alpha TBCC crystal is stable and does not caking and color changed. Shelf life is two -three years . | Beta TBCC shelf year is two year. |
| Production process | Alpha TBCC requires strict production process (such as pH, temperature, ion concentration, etc.), and the synthesis conditions are very strictly | Beta TBCC is a simple acid-base neutralization reaction with loose synthesis conditions |
| Mixing uniformity | Fine particle size and smaller specific gravity, resulting in better mixing uniformity during feed production | With coarse particles and significant weight which hard to mixing uniformity. |
| Appearance | Light green powder, good fluidity, and no caking | Dark green powder, good fluidity, and no caking |
| Crystalline structure | α-form，porous structure, conducive to removing impurities | Beta-form porous structure, conducive to removing impurities) |
Alpfa TBCC
Atacmite tetragonal crystal structure is stable
Paratacamite trigonal crystal structure is stable
Stable structure, and good fluidity, Uneasy caking and long storage cycle
Strict requirement for production process, and strict control of dioxin and PCB, Fine grain size and good homogeneity
Comparison of Diffraction Patterns of α-TBCC versus American TBCC
Fig. 1 Identification and comparison of diffraction pattern of Sustar α-TBCC (Batch 1)
Fig. 2 Identification and comparison of diffraction pattern of Sustar α-TBCC (Batch 2)
Sustar α-TBCC has the same crystal morphology as American TBCC
| Sustar α-TBCC | Atacmite | Paratacamite |
| Batch 1 | 57% | 43% |
| Batch 2 | 63% | 37% |
Beta TBCC
The Paratacamite trigonal crystal structure is stable
The thermodynamic data show that the Botallackite has good stability
β-TBCC is mainly composed of Botallackite, but also includes a small amount of oxychlorite
Good fluidity, easy to mix
Production technology belongs to the acid and alkali neutralization reaction . High production efficiency
Fine particle size, good uniformity
