caustic soda production process Caustic soda production Nearly all caustic soda is generated by the electrolysis of sodium chloride solution using one of three cell types: mercury, diaphragm and membrane cells. The electrolysis process produces 2.25 tonnes of 50% caustic soda with each tonne of chlorine. The primary raw material is common salt, usually in […]
caustic soda Caustic Soda Description Caustic soda is one of the common names for sodium hydroxide (NaOH). Its common name derives from its chemical identity as a sodium hydrate and because it is caustic or corrosive.In pure form, caustic soda is a waxy, white solid. It readily absorbs water and forms aqueous solutions. Caustic soda […]
Sodium Hydroxide Description of Sodium Hydroxide Sodium hydroxide is an inorganic compound with formula NaOH. It is a white solid ionic compound consisting of sodium cations Na+ and hydroxide anions OH-. Sodium hydroxide is a highly caustic base and alkali, that decomposes proteins at ordinary ambient temperatures and may cause severe chemical burns. It forms […]
Description of White Spirit White spirit (UK) or mineral spirits (US, Canada), also known as mineral turpentine, turpentine substitute, petroleum spirits, solvent naphtha (petroleum), Varsol, Stoddard solvent, or, generically, “paint thinner”, is a petroleum-derived clear liquid used as a common organic solvent in painting. A mixture of aliphatic, open-chain or alicyclic C7 to C12 hydrocarbons, […]
Polyethylene Glycol Description of Polyethylene Glycol: Polyethylene glycol is a polyether compound with many applications, from industrial manufacturing to medicine. PEG is also known as polyethylene oxide (PEO) or polyoxyethylene (POE), depending on its molecular weight. The structure of PEG is commonly expressed as H−(O−CH2−CH2)n−OH. PEG has been examined extensively as a drug delivering vehicle […]
Glycerin Description of Glycerin: RAHA Oil glycerin (Glycerol) is a clear, odorless, viscous liquid with a naturally sweet taste. It is derived from both natural and petrochemical feedstocks. Glycerin occurs in combined form (triglycerides) in animal fats and vegetable oils and is obtained from these fats and oils during transesterification, such as in biodiesel production. […]
Propylene Glycol Description of Propylene Glycol: RAHA Oil Propylene glycol is a synthetic organic compound with the chemical formula C3H8O2. Other names for are 1,2-dihydroxypropane, 1,2-propanediol, methyl glycol, and trimethyl glycol. It is clear, colorless, slightly syrupy liquid at room temperature. It may exist in air in the vapor form, although propylene glycol must be […]
