25kg caustic soda pearls with low price
25kg caustic soda
1. Basic Properties
Chemical Name: Sodium Hydroxide (commonly known as 25 kg caustic soda, caustic soda)
Molecular Formula: NaOH
Formula: Granular (usually 0.5-2mm in diameter), with good fluidity for easy transportation and storage
Solubility: Easily soluble in water, dissolving exothermically to form a strongly alkaline solution
Hygroscopicity: Highly hygroscopic, requires sealed storage to avoid deliquescence and agglomeration
2. Production Process
Evaporation and Concentration: Liquid sodium hydroxide is evaporated to remove water, resulting in a molten state
Granulation: Molten sodium hydroxide is cooled and solidified into granules using spray granulation or drum granulation techniques
Drying: Further drying is performed to remove residual water, resulting in the finished product
3. Main Applications
Chemical Industry: Production of detergents, soaps, dyes, synthetic fibers (such as viscose), etc.
Petroleum Refining: Used for desulfurization and Neutralizes acids
Water treatment: Adjusts pH and removes heavy metal ions
Papermaking: Cooking and bleaching during pulping
Food industry: Small quantities used in processing (e.g., olive debittering); food-grade purity is required
4. Safety Precautions
Corrosiveness: Highly corrosive. Contact with skin or eyes can cause severe burns. Wear protective clothing, gloves, and goggles when handling.
Storage: Moisture-proof and sealed. Avoid contact with acids, metals (e.g., aluminum), or organic matter.
Leakage handling: Absorb with sand and clean up immediately. Do not flush directly with water (to prevent exothermic reactions).
5. Differences from flake and liquid caustic soda
Granular 25kg caustic soda : Granular, fluid, suitable for automated dosing. Flake caustic soda: Easy to weigh, but prone to clumping. Liquid caustic soda: Typically 30-50% concentration, high transportation costs, suitable for local use.
6. Market and Packaging
25kg caustic soda Packaging: 25kg/bag (plastic woven bag lined with moisture-proof film), or 1 ton/1.2 ton ton bag (large capacity)
Purity: Industrial grade ≥ 99%, food grade must comply with GB 1886.20-2016
