- Sodium silicate,
also known as water glass or liquid glass, available in aqueous solution
and in solid form, is a compound used in cements, passive fire
protection, refractories, textile and lumber processing.
- Sodium silicate is a
white solid that is soluble in water, producing an alkaline solution.
There are many kinds of this compound, including sodium orthosilicate,
Na4SiO4; sodium metasilicate, Na2SiO3; sodium polysilicate, (Na2SiO3)n;
sodium pyrosilicate, Na6Si2O7, and others. All are glassy, colourless
and dissolve in water.
- Sodium silicates are
solids where the proportion between silicon, oxygen and sodium
determines what will be the resulting silicate(s)
- Sodium silicates are
manufactured by fusing sand (SiO2) with an adjusted amount of sodium
carbonate to glass. This is then pulverized and dissolved in water at
high temperature and pressure to water glass.
- Soluble sodium
silicates (or waterglass) are solutions of water and soluble glasses
manufactured from varied proportions of Na2CO3and SiO2.
- Sodium silicates are
especially valuable as adhesives because they can change from a liquid
to a semi-solid condition upon the loss of a small amount of
water.
- Sodium silicates are
used for de-inking, sizing, coating, and bleaching of recycled paper
products in the pulp and paper industry. The de-inking process
solubilizes and removes nonfibrous materials, such as inks, from the
fiber stock.
- Sodium silicate
solutions react with solutions of many soluble salts to form complex
gelatinous precipitates. For instance, aluminum salts react
with
sodium silicate solutions to form sodium- aluminum silicate gels
which can be processed to make base-exchange materials particularly
suitable for water softening.
- Sodium Silicate is a
best water proofing agent and it is also used in cement
industries.
- Sodium silicate
based thermal interface pastes give higher thermal contact conductance
across conductor surfaces than polymer based pastes and oils, due to
their higher fluidity and the consequent greater
conformability.
- The sodium silicate
solution can be used easily in detergent slurry in an effort to control
the viscosity at an appropriate level for powder detergent production
giving optimal density.
- Sodium silicate is
widely used as a binder for molding sand in foundries. The technology
for perlite/sodium silicate composite manufacture is based largely on
this foundry industry experience.
- A variety of
solid-state NMR techniques were applied in order to assign resonances in
the 29Si and 23Na NMR spectra of a new crystalline silicate to
crystallographically distinct silicon and sodium sites,
respectively.
- The sodium silicate
market is mature as many of its end uses are mature as well. Only modest
aggregate growth for sodium silicate applications is projected; 0.7
percent annually through 2004.
- The major consumers
of sodium silicate are soap industry, silica gel industry, textile
industry and paper industry. Of these, the largest consumer is the soap
industry. About 520 kg of sodium silicate is required per tonne of soap
manufactured. The total capacity of the operating soap units in the NER
is estimated to be 50 tonne per day. The demand of sodium silicate for
these units is estimated at 25 tonne per day.
- Precipitated silica
is the dominant product, accounting for over 70% of worldwide demand,
while Asia-Pacific demand for precipitated silica is estimated at about
38% of the total.
