The Versatile Uses of Sodium Aluminate
At Chemistree, we make chemistry easy for industries globally. Sodium aluminate is one of the multi-use industrial chemical compounds. We supply to industries involved in water treatment, paper manufacturing, petroleum processing, and the production of titanium dioxide, among others. Its chemical characteristics proves to be a very effective coagulant, bleaching agent, and additive. In this blog, we will go over the many uses of sodium aluminate.
Primary Applications of Sodium Aluminate
Water Treatment
Sodium aluminate plays a key role in water treatment for both municipalities and industries. At Chemistree, we supply high-quality sodium aluminate as an effective coagulant that removes suspended impurities, heavy metals, and other contaminants, ensuring a consistent supply of clean, safe water. This compound is widely used to soften water and enhance filtration in water treatment and wastewater systems. For optimal performance in these applications, our sodium aluminate typically contains around 54% active chemical, delivering reliable results in purification processes.
Petroleum Industry
Chemistree’s sodium aluminate, as supplied to the petroleum industry, is a coagulant utilized in oil extraction and refining. It improves effectiveness in the separation process by enhancing the removal of oils, solids, and water, making the processing of petroleum more efficient. Our sodium aluminate for this application comprises 50% active chemical tailored for optimal performance in petroleum refining.
Paper Making
Sizing Agent: In the paper industry, sodium aluminate helps improve paper quality. It serves as a sizing agent, making paper more water-resistant and enhancing ink absorption, resulting in better print quality.
Strength Enhancer: It also strengthens the paper fibers, which makes the paper more durable and resistant to tearing.
Production of Titanium Dioxide
Chemistree provides sodium aluminate as an additive in titanium dioxide manufacturing. This representative chemical is generally used in paints, coatings, and plastics industries. Adding sodium aluminate guarantees the properties and performance of the white pigment are maximized. The amount of sodium aluminate content utilized in this sector is approximately 35%, optimized for the enhancement of the performance of TiO2.
Construction and Cement Industry
Accelerator in Concrete: Sodium aluminate acts as an accelerating agent in concrete mixtures, helping to speed up the hardening process, which is particularly useful in cold-weather construction.
Corrosion Resistance: It improves the sulfate resistance of concrete, which makes structures more durable when exposed to aggressive environments.
