Sodium Sulfide and Hydrosulfide Production, Market and Forecast in the CIS
Annotation
This study focuses on the analysis of the market of sodium sulfide and
hydrosulfide in the CIS. The report consists of 6 Sections, contains 91 pages,
including 22 figure, 36 tables, and two Appendices.
Methodologically, the work done in the form of a "desk" research. Multiple
sources of information were analyzed, particularly data of state bodies - Federal
Service of State Statistics of Russia (Rosstat), JSC "RZD" (statistics of rail
transportation), Federal Customs Service (data on foreign trade operations). Also
have been involved the customs statistics of Ukraine and Kazakhstan, data of
companies, a database of "InfoMine", media materials and the Internet.
It should be noted that not all companies provide to the state bodies the
statistics data on the production of this product. Therefore, data on production
volumes were estimated by experts of "InfoMine" based on the statistics of domestic
rail transport, export statistics and fragmentary data of the enterprises, "leaked" to
the media.
All this has allowed the experts of "InfoMine" to reveal a picture of the
market of sodium sulfide and hydrosulfide in the CIS and its prospects.
The first chapter of the report presents data on resources required for the
production of sodium sulfide and hydrosulfide, and their characteristics. Also in this
section there are detaila of the technology of production. In addition, data on the
main suppliers of raw materials, directions and volumes of supplies are given.
The second chapter is devoted to the production in the CIS countries. This
section of the report presents data on volumes of production in Russia and
Kazakhstan. In addition, the quality data of the products are presented. The current
producers of sodium hydrosulfide, and the companies that recently ceased the
production of sodium sulfide, are described.
The third chapter of the report presents data on foreign trade with sodium
sulfide and hydrosulfide in Russia and Ukraine in 2001-2011, as well as in
Kazakhstan and other CIS countries in 2005-2011.
The fourth chapter presents data on prices of Russian producers on sodium
hydrosulfide in the domestic market. In addition, the analysis of data on export and
import prices for sodium sulfide and hydrosulfide in Russia, and import prices in
other CIS countries are given.
The fifth chapter of the report describes the consumption of sodium sulfide
and sodium hydrosulfide in Russia. This section provides a balance of the
production - consumption of the product, the sectoral structure of consumption, the
main consumers, as well as the current state and prospects of development of the
largest enterprises-consumers. It also provides a brief overview of the consumers in
other CIS countries.
The sixth chapter presents a forecast of the development of the Russian
market of sodium sulfide and hydrosulfide for the period up to 2020.
The Appendices present addresses and contact information of enterprises
producing and consuming sodium sulfide and hydrosulfide in the CIS countries.
Sodium Sulfide and Hydrosulfide Production, Market and Forecast in the CIS
Introduction
Sodium sulfide is colorless or slightly yellow crystals of the cubic system.
The density of anhydrous sulfide is 1.856 g/cm3, the melting temperature
Tm=1180C (1453 K), and by the chemical composition it is a salt of the general
formula Na2SnH2O (n=1.9-2.4). Sodium sulfide is strongly hygroscopic, its
solubility in water increases with increasing temperature (grams per 100 g): 12.4 (at
0C), 18.6 (at 20C), 39.1 (at 60C); 45.0 (at 97.5C), it forms crystallohydrates.
Sodium sulfide in contact with acids liberates hydrogen sulfide, sodium sulfide is
easily oxidized by an atmospheric oxygen to thiosulfate, and then to sulfite and
sulfate of sodium, and also forms polythionic acids. It is soluble in lower alcohols
(methanol, ethanol), which is used in practice to obtain pure sodium sulfide. Na2S is
a strong reducing agent: dilute HNO3 (nitric acid) oxidizes sodium sulfide to S
(sulfur), concentrated HNO3 - to Na2SO4 (sodium sulfate). Sodium sulfide reacts
with hydrohalic acids and dilute H2SO4 with the release of H2S and sodium
hydroxide. Aqueous solutions of sodium sulfide dissolve sulfur to form polysulfides
Na2Sx.
Sodium hydrosulfide NaHS is colorless or yellow crystals. The melting
temperature is 350C. It is easily soluble in water (43 wt% at 20C) and in alcohol.
Its solutions have an alkaline reaction. Two of its crystallohydrates are known:
NaHS2H2O, NaHS3H2O. Solid sodium hydrosulfide is hygroscopic and can be
oxidized by an atmospheric oxygen. It is more stable in solutions, which are slowly
oxidized in air. Sodium hydrosulfide lliberates H2S (hydrogen sulfide) when heated,
at the hydrolysis, under the action of acids; it is a reducing agent. Sodium
hydrosulfide is prepared by reacting H2S with solutions of Na2S and NaOH.
The main physico-chemical properties of sodium sulfide and sodium
hydrosulfide are given in Table 1.
