Everyone knows it and comes into contact with it every day. Without sodium, there would be no life. Conduction between the nerve cells would not work.<\/p><p>Under normal conditions, sodium is a waxy, silvery, highly reactive metal. Sodium was discovered in 1807 by Humphry Davy after his self-study of chemistry \u2013 shortly after he had also depicted potassium.<\/p><p>The term &#8220;halite&#8221; is derived from the ancient Greek name for salt and stands for wealth. The term can be found in some city names, such as &#8220;Bad Reichenhall&#8221;.<\/p><p>It is the most common feedstock in the chemical industry. Around 70% is mined and around 30% is extracted from the sea or salt lakes. Half of the quantities produced are used in chlor-alkali electrolysis. In the so-called Solvay process, NaCl, CO<sub>2<\/sub> and ammonia are used to produce NH<sub>4<\/sub>Cl, NaHCO<sub>3<\/sub> and soda Na<sub>2<\/sub>CO<sub>3<\/sub> as a flux for the glass and steel industry, for softening water, for detergents and much more.<\/p><p>Sodium, like other alkali metals, is a low-density light metal. It has a very good electricity and heat conductivity. Thanks to its low melting point of only 98 degrees Celsius, sodium is an optimal cooling medium for nuclear reactors.<\/p><p>As is well known, the undisputed number 1 energy storage system for electromobility is the lithium-ion battery. In the future, however, the sodium-oxygen battery could be a good alternative. The number of charging cycles is already higher than that of a lithium-oxygen battery.<\/p><p>For the most part, sodium is used for the production of sodium compounds such as sodium amide, sodium hydride or sodium cyanide. Sodium has a particularly water-attracting effect and is therefore used in the laboratory for drying. In addition, it is used as a reducing agent in metallurgy and gold panning.<\/p><h4>We recommend the following products:<\/h4><ul><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cfmot.de\/en\/produkt\/sodium-iodide\/\">Sodium iodide\u00a0<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cfmot.de\/en\/produkt\/sodium-molybdate-dihydrate\/\">Sodium molybdate dihydrate<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cfmot.de\/en\/produkt\/sodium-oxalate\/\">Sodium oxalate<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cfmot.de\/en\/produkt\/sodium-selenate\/\">Sodium selenate<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cfmot.de\/en\/produkt\/sodium-selenite\/\">Sodium selenite<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our element of the month for August is sodium.
