Raw Material for Sodium Metasilicate Pentahydrate Production

According to the Sodium Metasilicate Pentahydrate manufacturing plant project report, the key raw materials used in the production of Sodium Metasilicate Pentahydrate include Silica Sand-Anhydrous Sodium Carbonate-Carbon Dioxide.

Manufacturing Process of Sodium Metasilicate Pentahydrate

The extensive Sodium Metasilicate Pentahydrate production cost report consists of the following major industrial manufacturing process:

• From Silica Sand, Anhydrous Sodium Carbonate, and Carbon Dioxide: The industrial manufacturing of Sodium Metasilicate Pentahydrate is a multi-step process. First, silica sand and anhydrous sodium carbonate are mixed and heated at high temperatures, forming sodium silicate glass. After this, the glass is then crushed and dissolved in water forming a sodium silicate solution. Then, the solution is treated with carbon dioxide gas that precipitates the silica. The concentrated solution is cooled, forming a saturated solution of sodium metasilicate pentahydrate. Finally, these crystals are separated, purified, and dried, obtaining pure sodium metasilicate pentahydrate.

Sodium metasilicate pentahydrate is a white powder. Its molecular formula is Na2SiO3·5H2O, and it has a molecular weight of 212.14 g/mol. It has a melting point of 72°C. It is highly soluble in water and insoluble in alcohol. It has a bulk density of around 950 g/L. It has a pH of around 12.5. It has a molar ratio of 1.0, whereas silica and sodium oxide both have 28.5% of its composition. It includes 43% water of crystallization. All these physical and chemical properties make it usable in various industrial applications that include detergents, cleaning products, and cement additives.
