About Sodium Hydrosulphide
What is Sodium Hydrosulphide?
Sodium hydrosulfide (NaHS) is an inorganic compound composed of sodium cations (Na+) and hydrosulfide anions (HS-). It is a yellowish or colorless solid with a strong sulfurous odor. Sodium hydrosulfide is highly soluble in water and is commonly used in various industrial applications.
Here are some key points about sodium hydrosulfide:
1). Chemical Applications: Sodium hydrosulfide is primarily used as a reagent and reducing agent in chemical reactions. It is employed in the production of organic chemicals, such as dyes, pharmaceuticals, and agricultural chemicals. It can also be used as a catalyst or as a source of sulfide ions in certain chemical processes.
2). Leather Processing: Sodium hydrosulfide is extensively used in the leather industry as a key chemical for leather processing. It helps remove hair and other unwanted substances from animal hides during the initial stages of leather production. It acts as a depilatory agent and aids in the dehairing process.
3). Mining and Ore Processing: Sodium hydrosulfide is utilized in the mining industry as a flotation agent for separating minerals from ore. It can selectively react with certain minerals and make them hydrophobic, allowing their separation from the ore matrix.
4). Odor Control: Due to its strong sulfurous odor, sodium hydrosulfide is sometimes used as an odor control agent in wastewater treatment and other industrial processes. It can neutralize or mask unpleasant odors by reacting with sulfurous compounds present in the environment.
5). Safety Considerations: Sodium hydrosulfide is a highly reactive compound and should be handled with caution. It is corrosive and can cause skin and eye irritation. When working with sodium hydrosulfide, proper safety measures, such as wearing protective clothing and using proper ventilation, should be followed to minimize exposure.
It’s important to note that sodium hydrosulfide should be used according to industry guidelines and regulatory standards, and safety data sheets should be consulted for specific safety and handling instructions.
Trade Process
Our trade process spreads across CIF, FOB, TTO, and TTT, depending on the buyer’s preference.
Here’s what they entail:
1). Cost Insurance and Freight (CIF): Here, the seller will handle everything from loading the vessel, paying for insurance, and sending the product to wherever the buyer wants it delivered.
2). Freight On Board (FOB): Here, the seller pays for the transportation of the goods to the port of shipment, plus loading costs, while the buyer pays the cost of marine freight transport, insurance, unloading, and transportation from the originating port to the final destination.
3). Tanker Take Over (TTO): Here, the buyer will take over the vessel, offload the product at their destination, and return it.
4). Tanker To Tanker (TTT): Here, the buyer uses their own vessel, long sides with the seller’s vessel, and then the cargo is transshipped when the transaction is fully settled.
