Hydrated Sodium Oxide is an important basic inorganic chemical raw material characterized by strong alkalinity, high corrosiveness, and strong hygroscopicity. It is highly soluble in water and releases a significant amount of heat during dissolution. Industrially, Hydrated Sodium Oxide is primarily produced through the electrolysis of brine in the chlor-alkali process, with the membrane cell process currently being the predominant production technology, while chlorine and hydrogen are generated as co-products. Based on product form, Hydrated Sodium Oxide can mainly be divided into liquid and solid products. Liquid products are generally supplied as aqueous solutions at specified concentrations, while solid products mainly include flakes, pearls or granules, and blocks. Hydrated Sodium Oxide is widely used in alumina production, pulp and paper, chemicals, textiles, soaps and detergents, water treatment, petroleum refining, food processing, pharmaceuticals, metal processing, and other industries. In industrial applications, it primarily serves functions such as dissolution, neutralization, saponification, degreasing, pH adjustment, and use as a chemical reaction feedstock. Market demand for Hydrated Sodium Oxide is closely linked to the development of downstream industries such as alumina, pulp and paper, chemicals, and textiles. In addition, as Hydrated Sodium Oxide is typically co-produced with chlorine, its output and pricing are also influenced by chlor-alkali plant operating rates, the supply-demand balance of chlorine, electricity and salt costs, regional trade flows, and logistics conditions.
