PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Sodium Silicate is an inorganic chemical that has versatile properties, which cannot be obtained with others alkaline salts. Sodium silicates also known as water glass or liquid glass. Sodium silicate is stable in neutral and alkaline solution. In acidic solutions, the silicate ions react with hydrogen ions to form silica acid, which when heated and roasted forms silica gel, a hard, glassy substance. Sodium carbonate and silicon dioxide react when molten to form sodium silicate and carbon dioxide. The properties and many functional characteristics of the soluble could be used efficiently and economically to resolve most of the problems that arise in some chemical and industrial processes.
Sodium silicates are used in many industries and customer applications as adhesives, detergents, cements, deflocculates, drilling muds for oil wells, enhanced oil recovery, pipe line insulation also in steel industry, welding rods, foundry cores, metal cleaning, palletizing, ore flotation and others. It’s also used for de-inking, sizing, coating and bleaching of recycled paper products in the pulp and paper industry. Sodium silicates and hydrogen peroxide are used together for the bleaching of cellulose.
Due to wide end uses, it is found that there is good demand of sodium silicate. Entrepreneurs can well venture into this field.
