Details
BLiT Chemical Sodium Methoxide is a strong base and a commonly used reagent in organic chemistry, particularly in transesterification and biodiesel production. It is typically available as a white powder or a solution in methanol, with widespread application in the chemical industry for catalysis, pharmaceuticals, and agricultural chemicals.
Specification:
Appearance | White or off-white flowable powder |
Content (total alkali) | ≥99.0% |
Sodium Methoxide (NaOCH3) | ≥97.0% |
Free Alkali | ≤1.5% |
Sodium Carbonate (NazCO3) | ≤ 0.3% |
Moisture (H20) | ≤0.65% |
Application:
Biodiesel Production: As a catalyst in the transesterification of triglycerides into fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) and glycerol, sodium methoxide is an essential chemical for biodiesel.
Pharmaceutical Industry: Sodium Methoxide is used in the production of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) due to its basic and nucleophilic properties.
Chemical Synthesis: Employed as a base in various organic reactions, including deprotonation, condensation, and nucleophilic substitutions.
Agricultural Chemicals: Used in the formulation of herbicides, pesticides, and other agrochemicals.
Industrial Manufacturing: Sodium Methoxide is a key component in the production of fine chemicals, polymers, and flavor additives.
Package:
100kg/drum,8.0mt/20’FCL;
Usage Guidelines:
Concentration: For biodiesel production, the typical concentration of sodium methoxide used is between 0.2% to 1% of the total volume.
Reactivity: Sodium Methoxide is highly reactive with water and can release methanol upon contact with moisture. It should be handled with caution and stored in tightly sealed containers.
Corrosive: The substance is corrosive to the skin, eyes, and respiratory tract. Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) when handling.
Flammability: Sodium Methoxide is flammable, especially in methanol solution, and should be kept away from open flames or sources of ignition.
Handling: Use proper PPE, including gloves, goggles, and a lab coat, and handle Sodium Methoxide in a well-ventilated area.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, tightly sealed to avoid contact with moisture or air to prevent the formation of methanol vapors.
