Solution Of Sodium Silicate Applications Properties Preparation

Water glass, that is, sodium silicate solution, has a wide range of applications in many fields.

Its applications are quite diverse. In the construction field, it is often used as a adhesive, which can enhance the bonding force between building materials and make the construction more stable. For example, in the process of building walls, adding an appropriate amount of water glass can improve the connection strength between bricks and make the wall more durable. In the chemical industry, water glass participates in the preparation of many chemical products. Like the production of certain detergents, water glass can play the role of a builder, enhancing the detergent's ability to disperse and emulsify stains, and improving the washing effect.

Water glass has unique properties. From the perspective of physical properties, it appears as a colorless transparent or slightly colored viscous liquid with a certain viscosity. This viscosity allows it to effectively adhere to the surface of different materials when used as a adhesive, achieving firm adhesion. From the chemical properties, water glass has good acid resistance and can resist the erosion of acidic substances to a certain extent. This property makes it applicable in some occasions where acid resistance is required, such as anti-corrosion coatings in some acidic environments.

Regarding the preparation of water glass, the common method is to use quartz sand and soda ash as raw materials. After mixing quartz sand and soda ash in a certain proportion, a melting reaction is carried out in a high-temperature furnace. Under high temperature conditions, the silica in the quartz sand reacts chemically with sodium carbonate in soda ash to form sodium silicate. After the reaction is completed, water glass solutions of different concentrations can be obtained after subsequent processing steps such as cooling and dissolution. By adjusting the proportion of raw materials and reaction conditions, water glass products that meet different application requirements can be prepared.
