Raw Material for Sodium Hydride Production

According to the Sodium Hydride manufacturing plant project report, the major raw materials for Sodium Hydride production include Hydrogen-Sodium; Sodium Carbide.

Manufacturing Process of Sodium Hydride

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

• Production from Sodium: This method of producing sodium hydride involves passing hydrogen into molten sodium dispersed in oil or in the presence of anthracene as a catalyst at a temperature above 250°C, which results in the formation of sodium hydride. This process yields sodium hydride at 98%.
• Production from Sodium Carbide- The process involves heating sodium carbide in an autoclave in the presence of hydrogen at 650 °C and 500 atm pressure to give sodium hydride with a yield of 86%.

Sodium Hydride (NaH) is a solid-state, odorless chemical compound that possesses chemical and physical properties useful for laboratory and industrial applications. The molar mass of the compound is 23.99 g/mol. It should be avoided in contact with the skin as it severely irritates the skin and can cause burns. It is a non-polar solvent but efficiently reacts with water to produce hydrogen gas and sodium hydroxide. It also serves as a strong base and stays stable under inert conditions. Moreover, handling the compound requires careful precautions, as it immediately reacts with air and water, posing a risk of explosion hazards.
