Sodium Acetate is an organic compound that is also known as sodium salt of acetic acid. The compound is widely utilized as a pickling agent in chrome tanning to facilitate the process of synthetic rubber production. Moreover, it also finds its application as an acid buffer in the dyeing process and neutralizes excess sulfuric acid in fabrics. It is often used in the production of certain medicinal formulations to treat low sodium levels in the body. Additionally, it is also employed for the treatment of urban sewage. Additionally, it is also used in various food preparations, such as salted snacks, to enhance taste.

The market for Sodium Acetate is predominantly driven by its applications in the textile, medical, food, and chemical industries, which significantly contributes to its demand. Moreover, its usage as a component in printing and dyeing process further enhances its demand in the textile industries. Its employment for the treatment of domestic sewage emissions notably promotes its demand in the waste management industry. Additionally, its utilization in the pharmaceutical industry as a component in the production of certain medicinal compounds remarkably boosts its demand in the healthcare and pharmaceutical industries. Furthermore, several factors, such as the availability of raw materials (acetic acid, etc.), their cost, their applications in the textile industry, maintaining quality standards, supplier relationships, and distribution, significantly influence industrial Sodium Acetate procurement globally.

Raw Material for Sodium Acetate Production

According to the Sodium Acetate manufacturing plant project report, the major raw materials for Sodium Acetate production include Glacial Acetic Acid-Sodium Hydroxide.

Manufacturing Process of Sodium Acetate

The extensive Sodium Acetate production cost report consists of the following industrial manufacturing process:

• Production from Sodium Hydroxide: This method of production involves the reaction of glacial acetic acid with sodium hydroxide to obtain sodium acetate as the product. The process is initiated by the addition of acetic acid and sodium hydroxide solution in a stainless steel reactor and allowed to react at 80-100 degrees Celsius, followed by cooling and crystallization, which results in the formation of sodium acetate as the final product.

Sodium Acetate exists in a dry powdered form, which is colorless to white. It is an odorless granulated chemical powder that possesses a hygroscopic nature. Its melting point can be marked around 324-328 °C, in general. Moreover, sodium acetate appears to be in monoclinic crystal form, and its solution is alkaline. It reacts with an alkyl halide, such as bromoethane, to form an ester.

Additionally, the compound is hygroscopic, and it readily dissolves in water. It is also slightly soluble in some of the commercial chemical solvents, such as alcohol. The molecular formula of the compound is CH3COONa, and its molar mass is 82.02g/mol. It is an odorless compound when kept under normal conditions, but when heated, it releases a characteristic smell similar to that of vinegar or acetic acid.
