Raw Material for Sodium Oxide Production

According to the Sodium Oxide manufacturing plant project report, the key raw materials used in the production of Sodium Oxide include Sodium- Sodium Hydroxide.

Manufacturing Process of Sodium Oxide

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

1. From Sodium and Sodium Hydroxide: The manufacturing of Sodium Oxide consists of several steps. First, sodium is reacted with sodium hydroxide at a high temperature of around 300 °C, forming Sodium Oxide. The reaction takes place under controlled conditions giving sodium oxide as the final product, along with hydrogen as the byproduct.

Sodium Oxide is a white, odourless solid with the chemical formula Na2O. It is a dry powdered compound with a very high melting point of 1275 °C. It is comprised of two sodium and one oxygen atom. It goes through an exothermic reaction when dissolved in water to give sodium hydroxide. It has a density of around 2.27 g/cm and decomposes at around 1,950 °C. It is highly soluble in water, where it reacts exothermically to form sodium hydroxide (NaOH), making it a strong base. Its hygroscopic nature allows it to absorb moisture from the air, which can lead to the formation of sodium hydroxide upon exposure to humidity. All these physical and chemical properties make it valuable in various industrial applications.
