- Sodium is an element
which has the symbol Na (Latin natrium, from Arabic natrun).
- Sodium is a soft,
silvery white, highly reactive element and is a member of the alkali
metals within "group 1".
- Pure sodium metal has
virtually no practical application since it reacts vigourously under
normal enironmental conditions.
Sodium is an abundant metallic
element which is widely distributed. However, because of its high
reactivity is not found naturally in its elemental state.
- Sodium is produced
commercially by the same procedure used for isolating the first samples
of the pure metal nearly two centuries ago. The procedure is based on
the electrolysis of molten sodium chloride (NaCl), table salt.
- Sodium metal is
isolated by the electrolysis of fused caustic soda.
The commercial
electrolytic process is called the Downs process.
- Sodium metal is
manufactured using the Castner Process, where fused caustic soda which
is mixed with a little carbon and iron is subjected to
electrolysis.
- Sodium Chloride is
present at a concentration of 3.5% in seawater.
- Sodium is detected in
its compounds by the bright yellow colouration which it imparts to
flames when burned and by spectroscopic methods.
- Sodium metal is used in
the manufacture of sodium peroxide, sodium cyanide and sodamide.
It
is uses as a coolant in some nuclear reactors.
- Sodium has been used
for many years to modify aluminium silicon alloys.
- Sodium metal is used in
a wide range of applications in metal
refining and as an intermediate
product in the manufacture of chemicals and pharmaceuticals.
- Liquid sodium metal is
used as the heat transfer fluid in fast reactors .
Sodium compounds
are important to the chemical, glass, metal, paper, petroleum, soap, and
textile industries.
- The simultaneous
determination of sodium and potassium in serum can be done by flame
photometry technique.
- The developments in
sodium technology resulting in its handling as a conventional
engineering heat-transfer medium.
- The solubility of
oxygen in sodium was determined over the range 125 t o 300°C by vacuum
disti1lation .
- Overall U.S. demand for
sodium metal tends to follow general activity in the U.S. economy and
demand in the sectors in which it is used.
- All market participants
reported that all of their commercial sales of sodium metal were to end
users.
- The domestic sodium
metal industry has experienced rising costs of production at the same
time that sales prices have remained essentially flat.
