What is Sodium Silica used in
What exactly is Sodium silicate?
Sodium silicate, often referred to as paohua or paohua alkali an inorganic chemical it's aqueous solution commonly known as sodium silicate it is a mineral adhesive. In chemical terms, it's Na2O*nSiO2. It is a liquid inorganic silicate is a versatile silicate with a multitude of applications. Sodium silicate that is soluble in the water is colorless and slightly translucent or transparent glass body. It is typically used as a filler, fabric fire retardant, and adhesive.
What are the applications that Sodium Silicate is used in?
Soaps and detergents
Silicates of sodium are able to enhance surface effects such as the wetting effect caused by organic surfactants (reducing tension on the surface), helping to keep small oil particles or dirt floating in detergent or helping to remove dirt from the surface.
The alkalinity of sodium silicate allows it to counteract acidic soil and encourage the emulsification of oil and the dispersing of protein.
Packaging
The use of sodium silicate in a cardboard coating may increase the strength of the material and increase its resistance to the effects of moisture fire and grease, as well as pests. Silicate can also be used as an oil repellent on its own.
It can be used as a primer for the application of other materials such as paraffin, naphthalene chloride, wax, nitrocellulose, varnish , and other cardboard coatings. It is a filler for the pores of cardboard and helps reduce the water absorption of paper, consequently reducing the amount topping coat required.
Construction
Soluble silicate could be used as cement binder. When Portland is mixed with cement components, they will undergo chemical reactions and create compounds with strong bonding capabilities. It is also used to improve the strength of concrete.
Mining industry
Soluble Silica is utilized in numerous mineral enrichment processes. The main function of sodium silicate in flotation of ore is as an antiflocculant . This is used to eliminate unwanted siliceous compounds. The only requirement is a small amount silicate that has a concentration comparable to that utilized in cleaning processes is needed. The ability of silicate to form a sodium ion layer on the surface of the particle is vital in preparing the surface for specific separation. Silicate from sodium assists in preventing the corrosion of the ball, thus reducing damage in the mill.
The treatment of water
Dilute anionic silica water solution made by soluble silicate is able to prevent the corrosion of the metal surfaces.
As an additive in water, dissolved SiO2 will prevent the corroding of the metal storage tanks and distribution lines. It helps prevent the corrosion of pipelines and pumps caused by acidic water (for example, from mine drainage) is able to reduce corrosion when grinding in ball rod mills and helps prevent corrosion of processing equipment, which is an ingredient in spray drying, agglomeration or dry mix detergent formulations and , of course, metal parts found in laundry and dishwashing equipment. It is used as a constituent of the liquid in the permanent automotive cooling system. It is an ingredient in water treatment compounds in cooling towers and boilers.
