A METHOD FOR CONVERTING THE FILTRATION RESIDUE OF CRUDE SODIUM OBTAINED BY FUSED-SALT ELECTROLYSIS TO HIGH-PURITY SODIUM ALCOHOLATE

摘要

A process for converting the filtration residue of crude sodium produced by fusion electrolysis into a sodium alcoholate with a low NaOH content. The residue first is intensively and continuously mixed for 2-5 hours at 300 DEG -600 DEG C. and then is added with stirring to the particular alcohol, possibly with heat added. The alcoholate solution so formed is filtered and the alcoholate may be obtained from the filtrate by distilling off the solvent.
