Advantages of Sodium Gluconate
Chelating Properties: Sodium gluconate exhibits excellent chelating properties, effectively binding to metal ions and preventing their negative impact on food, cleaning products, and concrete mixes. It enhances product stability, improves performance, and prevents mineral deposits.
Environmental Friendliness: Sodium gluconate is non-toxic and environmentally friendly. It is biodegradable and does not pose significant environmental risks, making it a sustainable choice for various applications.
Improved Product Performance: In food, cleaning, and concrete applications, sodium gluconate enhances product performance by improving texture, preventing mineral buildup, and increasing workability.
PH Regulation and Stability: Sodium gluconate acts as a pH regulator, ensuring the desired acidity or alkalinity in formulations. It helps maintain product stability and extends shelf life.
The Main Uses Of Sodium Gluconate
Retarder agent for concrete
Sodium gluconate is used to improve the strength and workability of concrete and is also used as a retarder for concrete across many of the construction sectors. Adding specific amounts of this additive to cement prolongs the curing and starting time of concrete or cement, which means it delays the final and initial setting time of the concrete without impacting the strength. Sodium Gluconate can also prolong the "working time" of cement or concrete. It is usually used in combination with some concrete water reducer.
Steel surface cleaning agent
When it comes to specialized applications where the steel surface has to be cleaned stringently to ensure the cladding materials bond tightly to the surface of the steel sodium gluconate can be used as an effective cleaning agent for cleaning the steel's surface due to its effective cleaning effect.
Water-quality stabilizer
Sodium Gluconate is also used widely as one of the water stabilizers in low-pressure boilers, and cooling-water systems, among other fields. Of course, phosphates products(such as shmp chemical, stpp) are still one of the commonly used descaling agents for boiler water treatment. In comparison to general corrosion inhibitors, as the temperature increases so do its corrosion-inhibition abilities.
Textile industry
Sodium Gluconate is also commonly used for degreasing and fiber cleaning. It can improve the bleaching effects relating to certain bleaching powders and the uniformity of color in dyes and improve the dyeing hardening degree of raw materials in the textile industry.
Glass bottle cleaning agent
Sodium Gluconate can also be used to effectively remove the rust that accumulates around the mouth of bottles and to remove the labels on the outside of bottles. It also decreases the likelihood of the washer nozzle or the pipeline plugging. It is essential that it doesn't affect environmental safety or food.
The petroleum industry
Sodium Gluconate is also a common agent used in the production processes of oil-field drilling fields along with petroleum products.
Applications of Sodium Gluconate
Food and Beverage Industry
Sodium gluconate is commonly used in the food and beverage industry as a sequestrant, stabilizer, and pH regulator. It acts as a chelating agent, binding to metal ions and preventing their adverse effects on food quality and stability. Sodium gluconate also helps enhance the flavor and texture of certain food products.
Cleaning and Household Products
Sodium gluconate is a key ingredient in cleaning and household products. It serves as a chelating agent, effectively removing and preventing the buildup of mineral deposits in cleaning formulations, such as detergents and dishwashing liquids. It also aids in the removal of rust and other stains from various surfaces.
Construction and Concrete Industry
Sodium gluconate is utilized in the construction and concrete industry as a concrete admixture. It acts as a water reducer, improving workability and flowability of concrete mixes. Sodium gluconate also retards the setting time of concrete, allowing for better concrete placement and finishing.
Pharmaceutical and Personal Care Products
Sodium gluconate finds applications in the pharmaceutical and personal care industries. It serves as a chelating agent in medications, helping to stabilize and enhance the effectiveness of certain drugs. In personal care products, it acts as a pH adjuster and helps improve the stability and shelf life of formulations.
By adding a water reducing agent to reduce the ratio of water to cement (W / C), the industrial grade of sodium gluconate can be lowered. By adding sodium gluconate, the following effects can be obtained:
Improved processability When the water to cement ratio (W / C) is constant, the addition of sodium gluconate improves processability. At this time, sodium gluconate functions as a plasticizer. When the amount of sodium gluconate is less than 0.1%, the degree of improvement in workability is proportional to the amount added.
Increase the strength When the cement content remains unchanged, the water content in the concrete can be reduced (ie, W / C is reduced). When the amount of sodium gluconate added is 0.1%, the amount of water added can be reduced by 10%.
Reduce cement content Water and cement content are reduced in the same proportion, and the W / C ratio remains unchanged. At this time, sodium gluconate is used as a cement reducing agent. In general, the following two aspects are important for the performance of concrete: shrinkage and heat.
In the food industry, sodium gluconate is used mainly as a sequestrant, stabiliser, thickener, and buffer. It acts as a sequestrant to sequester metal ions, which helps prevent them from reacting with other ingredients.
As a buffer, sodium gluconate helps maintain a consistent pH level in food products. It also acts as a thickener and stabiliser when used as a food additive. In addition, it can be used as a preservative to prevent discolouration and spoilage.
Storage of Sodium Gluconate
Storage environment of sodium gluconate
• Temperature: The storage temperature of sodium gluconate should be controlled between 15-30 degrees Celsius.
• Humidity: The storage environment should be dry and avoid moisture.
• Anti-exposure: Sodium Gluconate should be stored in a place protected from light, dry and ventilated, avoiding direct sunlight and high temperature exposure.
Precautions
• Storage time: The shelf life of sodium gluconate is three years, the storage time should not exceed the shelf life.
• Fire and explosion prevention: Sodium gluconate belongs to flammable products, store it away from fire source to prevent fire or explosion.
• Anti-theft and anti-mistake: The storage place should be equipped with anti-theft door locks, and unauthorized personnel are prohibited from contacting sodium gluconate. In addition, the storage place should be categorized and placed to avoid mixing with other items.
• Anti-vibration and anti-pressure: Sodium gluconate should be anti-vibration and anti-pressure during storage and transportation to avoid extrusion and collision.
Preparation Process of Sodium Gluconate
The main raw materials of sodium gluconate include glucose, gluconic acid and sodium carbonate. Glucose can be obtained by enzymatic hydrolysis of starch or glucose syrup, gluconic acid can be obtained by oxidized glucose fermentation or natural fermentation, while sodium carbonate can be purchased directly.
Add appropriate amount of glucose and gluconic acid into water gradually, control the reaction temperature and pH to promote the full dissolution of the two, and add appropriate amount of sodium carbonate to produce sodium gluconate.
The reaction solution is filtered, evaporated, crystallized and other process steps to get solid sodium gluconate product. Impurities can be further removed by washing, filtration and other operations.
The obtained sodium gluconate product is dehydrated through drying process, and then packaged, labeled and labeled, etc., and finally the finished sodium gluconate is obtained.
