Feedstock for Sodium Hypochlorite

The manufacturing of sodium hypochlorite involves a chlorination process that includes the usage of two major feedstock, namely chlorine gas and sodium hydroxide. The prices and availability of these feedstock affect the production of sodium hypochlorite.

The sourcing of chlorine gas as a raw material is affected by several factors. The prices of major raw materials like salt, energy costs, and operational efficiencies affect the procurement of chlorine gas. Compliance with environmental regulations and safety adds up to the investments that influence the overall costs. Its demand in downstream industries like water treatment, pharmaceuticals, and manufacturing further affects its availability and pricing. Also, different quality and purity requirements also impact sourcing decisions. Similarly, the availability and reliability of suppliers because of disruptions such as transportation issues or geopolitical factors affect its industrial procurement.

Another raw material is sodium hydroxide, which affects the production of sodium hypochlorite. The disruptions in supply lead to a shortage of supply that affects procurement costs. The prices and availability of the major feedstock, i.e., sodium chloride, also affect the procurement of sodium hydroxide. Its demand in downstream industries paper and pulp, textiles, and chemicals further affects its pricing and availability. Its sourcing from certain suppliers to certain purity standards also affects its procurement strategies.

Manufacturing Process

This report comprises a thorough value chain evaluation for Sodium Hypochlorite manufacturing and consists of an in-depth production cost analysis revolving around industrial Sodium Hypochlorite manufacturing.

• By Chlorination: The feedstock for this process includes chlorine gas and sodium hydroxide.

The manufacturing process of sodium hypochlorite is done via chlorination. In this process, an aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide is introduced with chlorine gas. This reaction leads to the chlorination of sodium hydroxide, forming sodium hypochlorite along with water and sodium chloride. This reaction takes place in a controlled environment to get maximum yield. Finally, the product is separated and purified to get pure sodium hypochlorite as the final product.
 

Properties of Sodium Hypochlorite

Sodium hypochlorite has a molecular formula of NaClO and a molecular weight of 74.44 g/mol. It is a greenish-yellow liquid or solid with a chlorine-like odor. It has a melting point of around 18 °C with a boiling point of 101 °C. It has a density of about 1.11 g/cm³, and it is highly soluble in water. It works as a strong oxidizing agent and can react with various substances. It decomposes in water to give sodium and chloride ions along with hydroxyl radicals. It reacts with acids to produce salts and release chlorine gas. All these physical and chemical properties contribute to its usage in different industries.
