Industrial Sodium Sulfide for Mineral and Chemical processing

Sodium Sulfide

Looking for a reliable source of sodium sulfide for your industrial operations? Kane Ara supplies industrial mineral and chemical products to meet the needs of manufacturers and industrial buyers. Our sodium sulfide offering can be evaluated according to your required grade, product form, quantity, packaging, and destination.

Sodium sulfide is an inorganic chemical compound with the molecular formula Na₂S and a molecular weight of approximately 78.05 g/mol in its anhydrous form. Also known as sodium sulphide or disodium sulfide, it is used in several industrial processes, including leather processing, ore treatment, pulp and paper manufacturing, and chemical production.

Commercial sodium sulfide may be available in different forms, including flakes, hydrated solids, and aqueous solutions. The appropriate form depends on the intended application, handling requirements, and process conditions.

What Determines the Cost of Sodium Sulfide?

The sodium sulfide price depends on several factors, so a single price cannot be applied to every grade, product form, or order.

If you are comparing sodium sulphide price, Na2S price, or sodium sulfide price per kg, make sure the quotations refer to equivalent specifications and commercial terms.

Key pricing factors include

  • Product form: Flakes, hydrated material, nonahydrate, and solution are not directly interchangeable.
  • Chemical content: The specified sodium sulfide content and the basis used to report it affect product comparisons.
  • Order quantity: Bulk orders and smaller shipments may have different unit costs.
  • Packaging: Packaging type and size can influence the overall quotation.
  • Origin and availability: Production source, supply conditions, and availability may affect pricing.
  • Destination and logistics: Freight, insurance, customs requirements, and delivery terms can change the total landed cost.
  • Payment and trade terms: The agreed commercial terms influence the final offer.

Industrial Applications of Sodium Sulfide

Like sodium sulfite, sodium sulfide is utilized in several industrial sectors due to its chemical properties. Its suitability depends on the specific application and the grade (purity level) of the product supplied.

  • Leather Processing and Tanning: Sodium sulfide is used in leather processing, particularly in operations involving the removal of hair from hides. Process performance depends on the formulation, operating conditions, and compatibility with other chemicals.
  • Mining and Ore Processing: In selected mineral-processing operations, sodium sulfide is used as a chemical reagent. Its role depends on the ore composition, process chemistry, and the flotation or separation method employed. Buyers should verify the appropriate grade and reagent requirements with their process engineers.
  • Pulp and Paper Manufacturing: Sodium sulfide is associated with certain pulp and paper manufacturing processes. The exact role and required specifications depend on the production method and the other chemicals used in the process.
  • Textile Processing: Sodium sulfide can be used in selected textile-processing and dye-related applications. Its suitability depends on the process, required chemical properties, and operating conditions.
  • Chemical Manufacturing: Sodium sulfide is also used as a raw material or reagent in the manufacture of other chemical products. In these applications, consistency of composition and control of impurities can be important purchasing criteria.

Types of Sodium Sulfide Available

Choosing the right form of sodium sulfide is essential for consistent industrial performance. The most suitable option depends on your process requirements and the specifications agreed upon with your supplier.

Sodium Sulfide Flakes

Sodium sulfide flakes are a solid commercial form used in a range of industrial applications. Buyers commonly search for sodium sulfide flakes, sodium sulphide flakes, or sodium sulfide yellow flakes when sourcing this material.

The yellow appearance of commercial flakes can vary depending on composition, hydration, impurities, and manufacturing conditions. Colour alone should not be used to determine purity or quality.
When evaluating sodium sulfide flakes, consider:

  • Sodium sulfide content and the reporting basis used in the specification.
  • Moisture or water of crystallization.
  • Iron and other relevant impurities.
  • Packaging, storage, and transport requirements.
  • Compatibility with the intended industrial process.

Sodium Sulfide Hydrate and Nonahydrate

Sodium sulfide hydrate refers to a hydrated form of the compound. Sodium sulfide nonahydrate contains nine molecules of water of crystallization for each formula unit and is represented by Na₂S·9H₂O.

Hydrated sodium sulfide differs from anhydrous sodium sulfide in its composition and molecular weight. Consequently, the mass of hydrated product cannot be directly compared with the same mass of anhydrous product without accounting for the water content.

Buyers sourcing sodium sulfide nonahydrate should confirm the precise hydrate form, assay basis, and relevant quality parameters before placing an order.

Sodium Sulfide Solution

Sodium sulfide solution is an aqueous preparation used when a liquid form is suitable for the manufacturing process. Its concentration and handling requirements differ from those of solid products.

When requesting sodium sulfide solution or sodium sulphide solution, specify the required concentration, quantity, intended application, packaging, and delivery conditions.

Sodium sulfide in water forms an alkaline solution and may release hazardous hydrogen sulfide under certain conditions, particularly when exposed to acids. Appropriate industrial controls and the product's Safety Data Sheet (SDS) must be followed.

Frequently Asked Questions

The sodium sulfide price per kg depends on the product form, assay, order volume, packaging, origin, and delivery destination. Contact Kane Ara with your required grade, quantity, and destination to request a quotation.

Industrial buyers can contact Kane Ara to inquire about sodium sulfide availability, technical specifications, packaging, and delivery arrangements. Provide your intended application and required grade to help establish the appropriate product specification.

Provide the required form, chemical content, quantity, packaging preference, destination, and any documentation requirements. If your application requires specific limits for moisture, iron, or other impurities, include those parameters in your inquiry.

Yes. Sodium sulfide can be corrosive and may cause serious skin and eye damage. Contact with acids can release toxic hydrogen sulfide gas. Always consult the product-specific SDS and follow appropriate industrial safety and handling procedures.

Sodium sulfide solution is an aqueous preparation with a specified concentration, while flakes are a solid commercial form. Their concentrations, handling requirements, transportation considerations, and suitability for industrial processes differ.
