Description
Sodium (CAS 7440-23-5 ), also known commercially as Natrium, is a reactive alkali metal supplied in elemental form for industrial reduction and catalytic processes. It functions as a powerful reducing agent and chemical initiator in synthesis and metallurgical operations. In water treatment, elemental sodium is used to generate sodium amalgam and other reactive intermediates for dechlorination and chemical reduction of process streams. In metals processing, it serves as a reductant in the production of reactive metals. This includes the production of titanium and zirconium through reduction of their halide salts. Sodium also acts as a catalyst initiator in certain polymerization reactions, particularly in the production of synthetic rubber and specialty polymers. In mining operations, it supports hydrometallurgical reduction steps where strong electron donors are required to precipitate target metals from solution. This makes it an essential component for high-purity metal extraction processes. Elemental sodium is supplied as metallic ingots, blocks, or dispersions in mineral oil to prevent oxidative degradation during transport and storage. This ensures the material remains stable and reactive for industrial use. Technical-grade material is the standard commercial form, with purity levels typically specified at 99% or higher depending on the application. Specialized dispersion grades are available for catalyst and synthesis applications. These dispersions are ideal for scenarios where fine particle distribution is required for rapid reaction kinetics. The material is handled under strict safety protocols to maintain its integrity and performance in chemical manufacturing. Contact us for supply of Sodium Request Quote
