white powder, melting point 622 °c. Soluble in water, the aqueous solution is alkaline, the pH value of 1% aqueous solution is 9.7. Gradual hydrolysis in water produces orthophosphate. It can coordinate with calcium, magnesium, iron and other metal ions to form soluble complexes.
Under the action of stirring, the soda ash is slowly added to the phosphoric acid solution for neutralization reaction, and the neutralized product orthophosphate is dried and polymerized at 350~450 ℃, the sodium tripolyphosphate is generated, and the sodium tripolyphosphate is obtained by cooling and crushing. Alternatively, the neutralization reaction is carried out by extraction of phosphoric acid and soda ash. A large amount of iron, aluminum and other impurities are removed by filtration, the pH value is adjusted, and filtration is carried out, and the obtained solution containing a certain proportion of disodium hydrogen phosphate and sodium dihydrogen phosphate is concentrated in the evaporator to meet the requirements of spray polymerization. The slurry was sprayed into the rotary polymerization furnace, dried and polymerized by hot air spraying powder, and then cooled, crushed and filtered to prepare the sodium tripolyphosphate product.
polyphosphate is one of the earliest, most widely used and most economical corrosion inhibitors for cooling water. In addition to being used as a corrosion inhibitor, polyphosphate can also be used as a scale inhibitor. The polyphosphate is used alone at a concentration of 20-40mg/L at a pH of 6.0-7.0, and is generally used at a concentration of 10-20mg/L at a pH of 7.5-8.5. In order to improve the corrosion inhibition effect and reduce the amount of polyphosphate, usually with zinc salt, molybdate, organic phosphate and other corrosion inhibitors. The phosphorus formula requires a certain concentration of calcium ions in the cooling water. From the point of view of corrosion inhibition should not be less than 30mg/L (CaCOa), dissolved oxygen in water is required to be more than 2mg/L, open circulating cooling water system can meet this requirement. Polyphosphate is suitable for water temperatures below 50 °c. The residence time in water should not be too long. Otherwise, the formation of orthophosphate by hydrolysis of phosphate will increase the tendency to produce phosphate scale.
sodium tripolyphosphate has mild skin and mucosal irritation, inhalation or ingestion can cause severe Diarrhea. The production and use of sodium tripolyphosphate workers to wear protective equipment, the production workshop should be installed to send air exhaust set. It should be stored in a cool, ventilated and dry warehouse, and should not be stacked in the open air. Do not be affected with damp, prevent high temperature, prevent harmful pollution. Handling should be light and light, to prevent packaging damage.

Introduction | sodium tripolyphosphate, otherwise known as pentasodium phosphate, sodium pyrometaphosphate, STPP, pentasodium tripolyphosphate. White powder Crystal, good fluidity, relative molecular mass 367.86, melting point 622 ℃, soluble in water, the aqueous solution is alkaline. Commonly used in food, as a water retention agent, quality improver, pH regulator, metal chelating agent. The aqueous solution of sodium tripolyphosphate is weakly alkaline (the PH value of 1% aqueous solution is about 9.7), and it forms a suspension (similar to an emulsion) in water with a PH of 4.3~14, that is, dispersion. Sodium tripolyphosphate can also make the liquid, solid particles better soluble in liquid (such as water) medium, so that the appearance of the solution is completely transparent, as if the real solution, this is the solubilization effect. Because of the unique properties of sodium tripolyphosphate, it has become an important ideal raw material in washing powder. |
classification | by structure and shape is divided into white powder anhydrous (Na5P3O10) and the right angle parallelepiped crystal of Hexahydrate (Na5P3O10-6H2O) anhydrate type I and Type II of the points. Sodium tripolyphosphate for industrial use is actually a mixture of type I and type II. Type I dissolution rate is fast, and the thermal effect is large when the six hydrate is formed by hydration, and it is easy to absorb moisture and agglomerate in the atmosphere. Type II has slow moisture absorption and is not prone to caking. Therefore, detergent with sodium tripolyphosphate type I content should not be too high, the general control of 10 ~ 30%. |
detergent builder | sodium tripolyphosphate is a kind of detergent builder with excellent performance, and is also the most used component in the detergent production process, its role has four aspects: 1, chelating effect on heavy metal ions: heavy metal ions in the water in the washing process can be combined with detergent molecules into insoluble metal salts, so that the washing ability is reduced, or even completely lost. Therefore, it is necessary to add a chelating agent to the detergent that can make the heavy metal ions contained in the water become harmless substances. Sodium tripolyphosphate has a strong chelating effect on heavy metal ions, which can close them up and eliminate their adverse effects on washing. In addition, it can also capture the various metal components contained in the dirt, play a role in the washing process to dissociate the dirt, and can be used as a soap synergist and prevent soap grease from precipitating and frosting. 2, the dirt from the decomposition of glue, emulsification and dispersion: The dirt often contains human secretions (mainly protein and fat substances), also contains sand from the outside, dust, etc. Sodium tripolyphosphate has the effect of swelling and solubilizing the protein in the dirt, so as to have the effect of dissolving glue, promoting the emulsification of fat, and dispersing the solid dirt; it has a strong emulsifying effect on lubricating oil and fat, and can be used to adjust the pH value of the buffer soap. 3, the detergent has the effect of preventing caking: powder synthetic detergent has moisture absorption, such as storage in a place with high humidity, Caking will occur. Caked detergents are extremely inconvenient to use. The hexahydrate formed by the water absorption of sodium tripolyphosphate has the characteristic of being dry. When the detergent formulation is used in a large amount, the caking phenomenon caused by moisture absorption can be prevented, and the dry granular form of the synthetic detergent can be maintained. 4, it has a large alkaline buffer effect, so that the pH value of the washing solution is maintained at about 9.4, which is beneficial to the removal of acidic dirt. |
