Cuastic Soda

General description of caustic soda flakes

Sodium hydroxide (caustic soda flakes ) is a highly caustic substance that is used to neutralize acids and make sodium salts. Sodium hydroxide physically is a white crystalline like snow, odorless and solid that absorbs moisture from the air. It is easily soluble in water when dissolved in water or neutralized with acid it liberates substantial heat, which may be sufficient to ignite combustible materials. Sodium hydroxide (caustic soda) is very corrosive. It is generally used as a solid or a 50% solution. Other common names include caustic soda flakes and lye.more than 95% production capacity of chlorine and approximately 100% of the production capacity of cadmium (sodium hydroxide) is based on the hydrolysis of salt water. In this process, a solution of sodium chloride (salt water) is decomposed electrically to elemental chlorine and a solution of sodium hydroxide and elemental hydrogen.a liquid production method using sodium chloride as a raw material is a multiprocessing process today, there are generally three commonly used methods to produce caustic soda flakes :
