Sodium Chloride Use For Aluminium Smelting

Sodium Chloride(as known as Sodium Chloride Industrial Salt ) is used in metallurgical industry as chlorinated roasting agent and quenching agent, and also as desulfurizer and clarifier for treating metallic ores. The steel products and rolled products are immersed in a salt solution to harden the surface and remove the oxide film. Acid washing with steel and stainless steel, aluminum and electrolytic solution of metal sodium, etc., are required to use salt chemical products, as well as refractory materials in smelting.

Usage:

Xinchang sodium chloride are used in many industrial processes.

Textiles & Dyes 
Sodium Chloride is added when dying cotton and viscose textiles to assist in fixing the dye. In dye manufacture, salt can be used to bring the dye out of solution at the end of the manufacturing process, a technique known as 'salting out'. Salt can also be used in the 'standardisation' of dye mixes, to ensure uniformity of dye strengths between different batches. Finally, salt is sometimes used as a grinding agent to reduce the dye compounds to a powder.  

Personal Care & Health
Principle uses of  Sodium Chloride in personal care products are in the manufacture of soap, bath salts and as a viscosity modifier in shampoos and bath foam. Salt is also used in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals, dialysis solutions and for dehydration therapies. Most of the above chemical applications use PDV salt.

Water Treatment
Large scale industrial plants need softened water for use within their processes. Sodium Chloride is used in the regeneration of industrial water softeners to ensure a steady feed of soft water to the plant.

Hides & Skins
Sodium Chloride is important in the production of high quality leather and sheepskins, and is used in various stages of the process. The fresh skins are sprinkled with salt as a preservative. Salt is used in conjunction with acid in the 'pickling' stage to prevent the hide from swelling. Salt is also used when scouring raw wool as it enhances the performance of the detergents used in the process.

Aluminium Smelting
Sodium Chloride is used in the smelting process to reduce the melting point of ore.

Oil Drilling

Sodium Chloride is used in drilling muds in oil fields. Muds are necessary to Lubricate and cool the bit during the drilling and are usually water based.

Animal Nutrition 
Sodium Chloride is used as an essential ingredient in the well being of many animals.
