Description

Sodium Sulfide is a yellow solid compound in flaky shape which can be found in anhydrous and hydrate forms. Sodium Sulfide with chemical formula of Na2S is soluble in water and slightly soluble in alcohols. It can be easily oxidized when exposed to air. It has a distinct smell similar to rotten eggs. Sodium Sulfide is widely used in as flocculants, coloration agent and tanneries processes, oxygen scavenger in water treatment process, toning agent in photography of photographs, desulfurization agent in textile industry and even oil recovery operations.

Due to increasing demands for clean water, the market growth of Sodium sulfide is estimated to be in a rising trend around the world.

Market Overview

Referenced to ‘’www.persistencemarketresearch.com’’ website, as Sodium Sulfide is majorly used during the process of the leather and tanning industry, this segment is anticipated to show significant growth in the period time of 2016 and 2024 with a total volume CAGR of 3.7% and total turnover of more than US$ 190 million by the end of 2024. It is also predicted that in future, application of sodium sulfide will be increasing in ore processing sections. In fact, sodium sulfide in ore processing should see constant growth over the period 2016-2024. This is due to sodium sulfide’s wide applications in ore processing as it is used to produce iron, steel, magnesium and copper during the process of flotation. Developing countries such as China, India, and Vietnam along with African nations such as Morocco and Ethiopia are predicted to experience sturdy growth in leather production and sodium sulfide usage. On the other hand, some health hazards caused by sodium sulfide may act as an obstacle for Sodium Sulfide market growth.

Referenced to www.trademap.org, most significant importing markets of Sodium Sulfide in 2021are United States and Chine with proportions of 13% and 12%, respectively.

Production Method

Na2S is majorly produced by chemical reduction of Sodium Sulfide.

Na2SO4 + 2C → Na2S + 2CO2

In addition, Na2S also can be prepared by sulfur reduction along with sodium in ammonia in small scales.

2Na + S → Na2S

Safety tips

Storage Condition

Sodium Sulfide is a strong base and can cause severe burns to human organs. Due to this,
sodium sulfide must be stored in a tightly closed containment container. It should not be stored with incompatible materials such as acids, oxidizers and aluminum powder. In addition, storage area must be labeled with the appropriate hazard labels –such as ‘toxic’ or ‘poison’. Sodium sulfide may decompose if got in contact with moisture, water and acids.
For more information please refer to Sodium Sulfide Material Safety Datasheet.
