Pra Rancangan Pabrik Sodium Thiosulfate Pentahydrate Kapasitas 15.000 Ton/Tahun

Abstract

Industrial development entering the 5.0 era is marked by increasing industrial development, especially the chemical industry. The development of the chemical industry can be marked by the establishment of new chemical factories to meet domestic chemical needs. Sodium thiosulfate pentahydrate is a type of chemical that has not yet been met and is obtained by importing it from producing countries. Dependence on import activities can result in a reduction in the country's foreign exchange, so action is needed to establish a sodium thiosulfate pentahydrate factory. Sodium thiosulfate pentahydrate or what was previously called sodium hyposulfide is a white solid formed from the reaction of sodium sulfite and sulfur after boiling and evaporating. The use of sodium thiosulfate pentahydrate is as an antichlor, a binding agent in photography, a washing agent for gold extraction, and many others. The Sodium Thiosulfate Pentahydrate factory is planned to be established in 2029 in the Cilegon Estate Industrial Area, West Java with a capacity of 15,000 tons/year. The main raw materials for making sodium thiosulfate pentahydrate are sodium sulfite and sulfur which are reacted in a CSTR reactor at a temperature of 80˚C. From a technical and economic perspective, this factory is feasible to establish.
