Sodium Sulfide Can Be Used To Oxidize And Reduce Copper, Iron, Zinc And Other Metal Ores In The Mining Industry
Sodium Sulfide |
Sodium Sulfide is a chemical substance that finds
use in many different industries. It is used as an oxygen scavenger and metal
precipitant in water treatment, and it is also an effective reducing agent for
sulfur dyes.
Among
its other uses, it is often employed in the tanning industry as a depilatory
agent for animal hides during pre-tanning processes. Its effectiveness and
efficiency make it the preferred depilatory for leather manufacturers
worldwide.
In
the leather manufacturing process, it is used to chemically destroy the hair on
hides, and to soften stiff skin. It is often combined with lime for better efficacy
and more efficient results.
Sodium
Sulfide is also employed in the photographic industry to protect
developer solutions from oxidation in the textile industry as a bleaching
agent. It is also utilized for the production of elastomeric synthetic
materials and sulfur colors.
This
compound is a strong base that can be harmful to the mucous membranes of the
body. Contact with the eyes, mouth or nose can produce serious caustic burns
with painful inflammation and possible tissue destruction.
When
the compound comes into contact with an acid, it converts to sodium hydroxide
and sodium thiosulfate. This corrodes the skin, eyes and mucous membranes. It
can also release toxic hydrogen sulfide gas when mixed with an acid.
Sodium Sulfide is also used in the oxidation
process of gold, lead and cooper metal ores as well as for sheep dips. It is
also used to treat paper in the pulp and paper industry.
It
is used as a coagulation and flocculation agent in wastewater treatment
facilities. It can be mixed with ferrous sulfate in a coagulation and
flocculation system to remove heavy metals such as hexavalent chromium, which
is found in some municipal waste waters.
For
the coagulation and flocculation of wastewater, the influent must be kept above
a pH of 7.0 to prevent off-gassing of hydrogen sulfide. This can be achieved by
adding external recycled sludge and anionic polymer to the chemical tank
effluent.
Another
use for Sodium Sulfide is in the
manufacturing of sulphur dyes, which are highly sought after and popularly used
by consumers all over the world. It is a valuable reducing agent for this
purpose, and it is also a regenerating dyeing agent that can be used to restore
original color and brightness of the dye after it has been removed from the
fabric or dyed.
