PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Sodium borohydride, also known as sodium tetrahydridoborate, and sodium tetrahydroborate[2] is an inorganic compound with the formula NaBH4. This white solid, usually encountered as a powder, is a versatile reducing agent that finds wide application in chemistry, both in the laboratory and on a technical scale.
USES
Sodium borohydride is a good reducing agent. Although not as powerful as lithium aluminum hydride (LiAlH4), it is very effective for the reduction of aldehydes and ketones to alcohols. By itself, it will generally not reduce esters, carboxylic acids, or amides (although it will reduce acyl chlorides to alcohols). It is also used in the second step of the oxymercuration reaction to replace mercury (Hg) with H.
PROCESS
A process for production of sodium borohydride. The process comprises the steps of: (a) combining a boric acid ester, B(OR)3 and sodium aluminum hydride to produce sodium borohydride and Al(OR)3; and (b) combining Al(OR)3 and sulfuric acid to produce alum and ROH.
MAJOR INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS
Sodium Borohydride is used for the reduction of carbonyls, peroxides and metal ions, as well as purification and removal of color, odor and oxidation precursors in organic chemical products.
Pulp and Paper
Pharmaceutical Industry
Metal Recovery
Textiles
Organic Chemical Purification
Bleaching agent in paper industry

GLOBAL PRODUCERS
Montgomery Chemicals (Conshohocken, PA)
Montgomery Chemicals is large manufacturer of sodium borohydride in North America.
SCENARIO IN CHINA
In China, pharmaceuticals is the largest application field for sodium borohydride
showing 73% share in volume in 2013, which is different from overseas markets
where paper making is the dominant field. Its consumption in electronic products,
paper making, water treatment and perfume is small.
