Ziram Production Cost Breakup from Dimethylamine and Carbon Disulfide

This report provides an extensive cost evaluation of Ziram production from dimethylamine and carbon disulfide. The manufacturing process of Ziram starts with the reaction of dimethylamine with carbon disulfide to form N,N-dimethyl dithiocarbamic acid as an intermediate. The intermediate is treated with sodium hydroxide to give the corresponding sodium salt. Finally, the sodium salt undergoes precipitation by the addition of zinc sulfate to produce Ziram.
