Sodium Percarbonate is a safer and more environmentally friendly alternative to chlorine-based bleaches, and it is found in a range of cleaning products, such as laundry detergents and home cleaners. Additionally, it is utilized in machine dishwashing products and agricultural applications as a fungicide and algaecide. It is used in the pulp and paper industries as a bleaching chemical to remove the color from pulp and paper products. In the wastewater treatment industry, it is used as an oxidising agent to assist in the decomposition of the organic pollutants. Industrial applications include metal surface treatment, textile processing, and the synthesis of certain chemicals. It is also a very mild abrasive, meaning that it is used widely in toothpaste and denture cleaners.
The market for Sodium Percarbonate is driven by its usage as a sustainable and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional bleaches and disinfectants. Its utilization in various sectors, including detergents, textiles, pulp and paper, and water treatment amplifies its demand even more. Its function as a fungicide and algaecide amplifies its demand in the agriculture industry. Its mild abrasive properties are utilized in dental products, which contributes to its demand in the dental sector. Overall, industrial Sodium Percarbonate procurement is influenced by its application in various industries such as cleaning, household products, personal care, textile, pulp and paper, water treatment, agriculture, and dental industries, the availability of its raw materials (dry sodium carbonate, hydrogen peroxide, and sodium carbonate), the cost of its raw materials, growth of the healthcare sector, technological advancements, and regulatory approvals.
Raw Material for Sodium Percarbonate Production
According to the Sodium Percarbonate production plant project report, the key raw materials used in the production of Sodium Percarbonate include dry sodium carbonate; hydrogen peroxide-sodium carbonate.
Production Process of Sodium Percarbonate
The extensive Sodium Percarbonate production cost report consists of the following major industrial production processes:
- Production from dry sodium carbonate: The production process involves the production of Sodium Percarbonate from dry sodium carbonate. In this process, unpurified anhydrous sodium carbonate is treated directly with concentrated hydrogen peroxide solution to obtain granular Sodium Percarbonate.
- Production from hydrogen peroxide and sodium carbonate: The production of Sodium Percarbonate involves the crystallization process. In this process, sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) is reacted with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) at 10-20 °C and with proper control of pH, and the solution undergoes crystallization in the presence of stabilizers, such as magnesium silicate, and salting-out agents, such as sodium chloride to produce Sodium Percarbonate.
Sodium Percarbonate is a white crystalline powder having the molecular formula C2H6Na4O12 and a molecular weight of 314.02 g/mol. It is water soluble, and its solubility rises with increasing temperature. It has a density of roughly 2.48 g/cm3. It is stable under typical storage settings, although it can degrade in the presence of heat, moisture, light, acidic or alkaline environments, and other factors. It decomposes at a melting point of >50 °C. It has no odor. Sodium Percarbonate aqueous solutions have a mildly alkaline pH of roughly 10-11.
