Sodium Tungstate Production Cost Reports

Sodium Tungstate production cost report provides a comprehensive analysis and know-how for setting up a Sodium Tungstate production plant. The study covers all the requisite aspects that one needs to know for the production of Sodium Tungstate. This includes manufacturing processes, raw material requirements, utility requirements, infrastructure requirements, machinery and technology requirements, manpower requirements, packaging requirements, transportation requirements, etc.

Sodium Tungstate is a sodium salt with the chemical formula Na2WO4. It consists of two sodium atoms, four oxygen, and one tungsten atom, with a molecular weight of 293.82 g/mol. It is a white crystalline powder with orthorhombic crystals. It is synthesized by leaching wolframite (mineral ore for tungsten) with a caustic soda solution. Its melting point is measured at approximately 698 °C, and its density is 4.17 g/cm3, with a standard temperature of 25 °C.

It is a water-soluble compound and is also soluble in other chemical solvents, including ammonia. It is slightly soluble in ammonia, while it is insoluble in acids and alcohol such as ethanol. Sodium Tungstate easily decomposes when heated at an elevated temperature while emitting toxic fumes of oxides of sodium in the air.

It is a white water-soluble sodium salt of tungstic acid that majorly serves as a source of tungsten in different commercial operations covering chemical, textile, oil, and gas industries. It acts as an intermediate in the conversion of tungsten ores to metal. It is a chemical mordant that can be used in dyeing activities. Sodium tungsten is used as a coloring agent in the production of printing inks.

It possesses excellent thermal stability and has the ability to catalyze chemical reactions. It is used as a catalyst in the oxidation of alcohols into aldehydes or ketones, and also can be used to catalyze the epoxidation of alkenes. Moreover, the compound can be used in electroplating metal while preventing the metal from corrosion. It serves as a petroleum catalyst and can be used in aviation, oil production, and more.

The market for Sodium Tungstate is majorly driven by its demand as a source of tungsten in the textile, dyestuff, ceramics, metal and oil industries. Its application as a chemical mordant in the production of dyeing chemicals and printing inks boosts its demand in the textile and chemical industries. It also serves as a sodium salt catalyst in different chemical reactions, including oxidation reactions etc.

Its usage in chemical reactions as a catalyst increases its applications and strengthens its demand in the global market. Moreover, its applications in other chemical activities, including metal coating and electroplating metals in the metal industry, amplify its demand. The variations observed in its demand have a significant impact in governing its procurement on a large scale.
