When it comes to flake caustic soda, you may not know what it is, but when it comes to caustic soda, you will understand. Flake caustic soda is solid sodium hydroxide in flake form; similarly, liquid caustic soda is liquid sodium hydroxide. Sodium hydroxide is a chemical raw material that has good applications in various aspects such as wastewater treatment, alkaline oxidation, and rust removal.
The chemical name of flake caustic soda, granular caustic soda, and solid caustic soda is “sodium hydroxide”, commonly known as caustic soda, caustic soda, and caustic soda. It is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula NaOH. It is highly corrosive and easily soluble in water. Its aqueous solution is strongly alkaline and can turn phenolphthalein red. Sodium hydroxide is a very commonly used alkali and one of the essential drugs in chemical laboratories. Its solution can be used as a washing liquid.
The main components of flake caustic soda and liquid caustic soda are both sodium hydroxide, the difference is that one is solid and the other is liquid. Liquid caustic soda and flake caustic soda themselves have no effect on the coagulation reaction. The coagulation reaction is mainly controlled by: pH value, temperature, agent diffusion and water conservancy conditions for protecting flocs, selection of inorganic and organic coagulants, dosage, etc., so the main function of flake caustic soda and liquid caustic soda is to adjust pH.
Similarities
1. The raw materials used in production are the same.
2. The molecular formula is the same, both are NaOH, the same substance.
3. Both are highly corrosive, can quickly burn the skin, and dissolve in water
Differences
1. The equipment used in the production process is different. Flake caustic soda is scraped by the flake caustic soda machine and then cooled and packed into bags; granular caustic soda is produced by spray granulation equipment; solid caustic soda is directly transported to the solid caustic soda barrel using a conveying pipeline.
2. The external appearance of the product is different. Flake caustic soda is a flake solid, granular caustic soda is a beaded round solid, and solid caustic soda is a whole piece.
3. Different uses: Flake caustic soda is mostly used in chemical industry, printing and dyeing, sewage treatment, disinfection, pesticide, electroplating, etc.; granular caustic soda is mainly used in chemical industry such as medicine and cosmetics. It is much more convenient to use granular caustic soda in the laboratory than flake caustic soda. Solid caustic soda is mostly used in pharmaceutical chemical industry.
Performance introduction
Flake caustic soda is a white translucent flake solid. It is a basic chemical raw material. It can be used as an acid neutralizer, a masking agent, a precipitant, a precipitation masking agent, a color developer, asaponifier, a peeling agent, a detergent, etc. It has a wide range of uses. Granular caustic soda is granular caustic soda, also known as pearl caustic soda. Granular caustic soda can be divided into coarse granular caustic soda and microgranular caustic soda according to the particle size. The particle size of microgranular caustic soda is about 0.7mm, and its shape is very similar to washing powder. Among solid caustics, flake caustic soda and granular caustic soda are the most common and used solid caustics, and granular caustic soda is easier to use than flake caustic soda, but the production process of granular caustic soda is relatively more difficult and complicated than that of flake caustic soda. Therefore, the price of granular caustic soda is naturally higher than that of flake caustic soda. In most industrial aspects, granular caustic soda is superior to other solid caustic soda such as flake caustic soda, and is therefore widely welcomed by industrial manufacturing. However, the production process of granular caustic soda is also more difficult than that of other solid caustic soda such as flake caustic soda.
