What Is the Use of Sodium Ethoxide in Industrial Production?

When it comes to ethanol, many people immediately think of alcohol. But wine is only one of many ethanol products, and ethanol is widely used in industrial production. What is the use of ethanol in industrial production?

Industrial sodium ethoxide, that is, sodium ethoxide used in industry, is also known as denatured ethanol and industrial fire wine. The purity is usually 95% and 99%. There are two main production methods: synthesis and brewing. The overall cost of synthesis is very low and the ethanol content is high. Brewed industrial alcohol typically has an ethanol content of greater than or equal to 95% and a methanol content of less than 1%.

There are more than 200 kinds of chemical products using industrial ethanol as raw materials,

1. Widely used in basic organic raw materials (such as chlorohydrin, ether, ethyl acetate, etc.), pesticides (such as various organophosphorus pesticides, acaricides, etc.) and rubber, plastics, artificial fibers, detergents and other organic chemical products ;

2. Industrial ethanol is an important organic solvent, widely used in the production of industrial coatings, dyes, oils, etc.;

3. As a fuel, it is an environmentally friendly and clean energy that is vigorously promoted at present.

Sodium ethoxide is also alcohol, but it contains small amounts of methanol, aldehydes, organic acids and other impurities, which greatly increase its toxicity. If you drink industrial ethanol by mistake, it may cause poisoning or even death. Therefore, my country clearly prohibits the use of industrial sodium ethoxide to produce various products.

The Difference Between Sodium Methoxide and Sodium Ethoxide

China’s sodium methoxide has been produced for decades and is already a mature chemical product. Due to the low content of free alkali in the sodium methoxide product produced by the metal sodium method, it has better catalytic activity, and its market usage is on the rise.

Sodium methoxide is a common organic chemical base used to make molecules ranging from pharmaceuticals to agrochemicals. Sodium ethoxide is especially useful as a condensation agent. Catalyst Sodium methoxide is a common catalyst. Its hygroscopicity is not as strong as sodium ethylate, its properties are more stable, and its quality adjustment is simple during production.

Sodium methoxide in methanol is produced from sodium metal and methanol using batch manufacturing techniques. Solid sodium methoxide degrades into a variety of different sodium salts when exposed to air. In organic synthesis, sodium methoxide can be used as an alkaline condensation agent and catalyst. It is used to make fragrances, dyes, and other chemicals. Vitamins B1, A, and sulfadiazine are all made from it.

Do You Know Trimethyl Borate?

Chemical Properties
Trimethyl borate is a chemical substance, a colorless liquid. Stable in dry air, hydrolyzed into methanol and boric acid when meeting with water. Miscible with ether, tetrahydrofuran, isopropylamine, hexane, methanol, liquid paraffin and other organic solvents. 70% trimethyl borate and 30% methanol can form an azeotrope. Trimethyl borate is prepared by reacting boric acid and methanol.

Product Usage

  1. Trimethyl borate is used as a derivatization reagent for gas chromatography analysis, a solvent, a flux, and a catalyst for the manufacture of ketones.
  2. Used as a dehydrogenating agent, insecticide, organic synthesis, semiconductor boron diffuser. It is an intermediate of potassium (sodium) borohydride.
  3. Used as a vulcanizing agent, wood preservative, catalyst, gelling agent, heat stabilizer, hydrogen flame extinguishing agent, also used for cotton flame retardant treatment and preparation of active silica, and as a reagent for gas chromatography analysis of carbohydrate derivatives.
  4. Solvent for paraffin, resin and petroleum. Aromatic halide reacts with methyl borate through Grignard reagent and hydrolyzes to generate phenol. Accelerator of diborane reaction. It is used as a doping source for semiconductors and also for the preparation of high-purity boron.

Production Method of Trimethyl Borate
Trimethyl borate can be synthesized by various methods, such as from pyridine-boron trifluoride complex, or from methanol, boron fluoride, methanol, boric acid, methyl orthosilicate, boron halide, etc.

Sodium-Methylate-Solution

Diversity of Uses of Sodium Methoxide

Sodium methoxide products come in two forms: solid and liquid. The solid is pure sodium methoxide; the liquid is a methanol solution of sodium methoxide with a sodium methoxide content of 27.5~31%.Sodium methoxide is a mature chemical product with decades of production history in my country.

There are many uses of sodium methoxide, and it plays a different role in different occasions.In perfume, dye and other industries, sodium methoxide is mainly used as a condensing agent and a strong basic catalyst. It is used in small amounts in pesticide production. It can also be used as a catalyst for processing edible fats and oils (especially lard). Sodium methoxide can also be used as an analytical reagent.

The company’s products sell well overseas and have won the trust of many users. Our solid sodium methoxide and sodium methylate solution are sold.

Characteristics of Sodium Methoxide

It is well-known that sodium methoxide is a routinely used base in organic chemistry, applicable to the synthesis of numerous compounds, ranging from pharmaceuticals to agrichemicals.
Liquid sodium methylate can get high concentration of Sodium methoxide, low Free alkali , and it can remove the impurities of alcohol types. For this reason concentration of Na2CO3 in this method is lower than that of alkali method, it can get higher quality and yield.
Sodium methoxide in powder form is mainly used in pharmaceutical industry, such as the manufacture of Vitamin A1, Vitamin BI, Sulfamethoxypyridazine, Sulfadiazine, trimethoprim and so on. It also can be applied as edible catayst and analytical reagent.
ASCENT PETROCHEM HOLDINGS CO., LIMITED is one of the largest domestic manufacturers of sodium methoxide and sodium methylate solution in China, Our company is one of the “National New & High Technological Enterprises” and “Backbone Enterprises of Fine and Special Chemicals Industrial Base”, one of the National Torch Projects.
In the meantime, ASCENT PETROCHEM attaches great importance to the quality of products and services, and makes efforts to combine the technology and various resources effectively in order to improve the producing processes and the quality of products continuously, and to satisfy the demands of all users in every aspect.

Application Field of Diethyl Malonate

Diethyl malonate is a colorless liquid with a sweet ether odor. It is a compound of the hydroxyl group in the two carboxyl groups of malonic acid, which is substituted by ethoxyl, and the molecular formula is CH2(COOC2H5)2. Diethyl malonate is influenced by two carbonyl groups and has high activity. It can produces sodium salt with sodium glycol, and then reacts with halogenated hydrocarbon to produce diethyl malonate, which is substituted for one or two alkyls.Diethyl malonate condensation reaction with carbonyl compounds, produce unsaturated compounds RCH = C (COOC2).Diethyl malonate can be used as raw material for medicine. Its other functions are as follows:
1.It is used as the intermediate of sulfonamide and barbiturate, as well as the intermediate of spices and dyes.
