Properties and uses of Sodium Metasilicate Pentahydrate – Silicate Powder NA2SIO3.5H2O
Chemicals play an important role in human life as well as in the field of processing and industrial production with specific physical and chemical properties, capable of meeting the processing needs of a number of substances used in products. production and daily life of people.
So what are the properties and uses of Sodium Metasilicate Pentahydrate – Silicate Powder NA2SIO3.5H2O?
The chemical has a chemical name of Sodium Metasilicate. The chemical formula of the substance is Na2SiO3
The substance is made up of 3 elemental components: sodium, silicon and oxygen according to a stable physical structure
In nature, the chemical is prepared as a white powder, or a homogeneous, transparent, wavy liquid. If exposed to air for a period of time, the color of the chemical may turn yellow or become cloudy.
Chemical properties and preparation method Sodium Metasilicate Pentahydrate – Silicate Powder NA2SIO3.5H2O
The product is a salt of silicic acid base and strong metal Na, which can react with alkalis, acids and some other substances. This chemical has all the chemical properties of a common salt.
In industry, to prepare this product, people often use liquid phase or solid phase reaction with 2 main materials, NaOH base and SiO2 oxide.
In the liquid phase, the two main components are put into a mixing tank with water, and then all the way through the reactor. During the passage through the reactor, the mixture will create steam and salt. Letting the vapor evaporate, the product formed will be obtained.
In the solid phase, also use the above two components, but solid application of chemicals, high temperature combination. When the raw material containing the element Na is melted, SiO2 is brought in to dissolve it into the solution and create chemicals.
Uses of Sodium Metasilicate Pentahydrate – Silicate Powder NA2SIO3.5H2O
The most common and common use of chemicals is in the glass processing and manufacturing industry. Chemicals are the main ingredients to make up all kinds of glass, serving the use and export needs of the chemical manufacturing industry.
In addition, Sodium Metasilicate Pentahydrate - Silicate Powder NA2SIO3.5H2O is also used in the production of detergents, glues, raw materials for the fertilizer industry, additives in the production of ceramics, porcelain, cement, textiles and dyes, and manufacturing. paper, cement, silicate paint, cold glaze, heat-resistant materials, soundproofing, electrical insulation, electric soldering agent....
In the industrial and domestic wastewater treatment industry, chemicals are also used by many factories.
