How to extract sodium ethanoate from production wastewater
Thread Content
Urgent help: I earnestly request everyone’s participation in the discussion or any advice you can provide!!!! Thank you!!!! In the wastewater produced by my company, the solid content ranges from 17% to 35%, with the main components being sodium chloride, sodium oxalate, sodium acetate, sodium chloroacetate, and sodium ethanoate. Among these substances, sodium ethanoate is the one with the highest utilizable value, accounting for about 5% to 10% of the total solid content. How to extract sodium ethanoate from it?
I haven’t come into contact with the wastewater mentioned by the original poster, but based on the information you’ve provided, I think the priority should be solid-liquid separation; only after that should efforts be made to extract sodium ethoxide from the liquid. Among these salts, sodium oxalate is easy to handle, while sodium chloride presents more difficulties. I’ll think about it some more and also ask others for advice; there are experts on the forum who can offer some ideas
Could you please introduce the properties of sodium acetate alcoholate? This will help us find ways to separate it
Thank you both! I’m waiting here for your advice!:handshake
Separating sodium ethoxide seems to be quite troublesome, and it’s also very costly! ! You need to calculate the cost-effectiveness!
The most difficult to handle are table salt and sodium acetate； Sodium oxalate is easy to handle ； Sodium chloroacetate can be converted into sodium ethanoate.
Is there a solution in the end? Same question.
