Sodium content

Sodium amalgam. The amalgam which is generally employed for reductions contains from 1 to 3 per cent, of sodium. Amalgams with a greater sodium content than 1 2 per cent, are solid at the ordinary temperature and can be powdered in a mortar the 1 2 per cent, amalgam is semi-solid at room temperature but is completely fluid at 50°. Two methods of preparation are available. 

When mixed with water, carboxymethylcellulose sodium [9004-32-4] makes a bulky hydrophilic coUoid which is indigestible and nonabsorbable. It produces softening of formed stools within three days, but may cause fluid retention because of its sodium content. 

The cell bath in early Downs cells (8,14) consisted of approximately 58 wt % calcium chloride and 42 wt % sodium chloride. This composition is a compromise between melting point and sodium content. Additional calcium chloride would further lower the melting point at the expense of depletion of sodium in the electrolysis 2one, with the resulting compHcations. With the above composition, the cells operate at 580—600°C, well below the temperature of highest sodium solubiUty in the salt bath. Calcium chloride causes problems because of the following equiUbrium reaction (56) ... 

Applicability/Limitations Fluidized beds require frequent attention for maintenance and cleaning purposes. This treatment is ideal for slurries and sludges but not for bulky or viscous wastes. The waste particles should be of a certain size and be homogeneous. Wastes must have a low sodium content and a low heavy metal content. Some refractory wastes may not be fully destroyed since these units operate at low combustion temperatures (750 to 1000°C). 

Sodium Content. The sodium on the catalyst originates either from zeolite during its manufacture or from the FCC feedstock. It is important for the fresh zeolite to contain very low amounts of sodium. 

FCC catalyst vendors are now able to manufacture catalysts with a sodium content of less than 0.20 wt%. Sodium is commonly reported as... 

The uniformity of tantalum powder is also a veiy important parameter of capacitor-grade tantalum powder. The loss of powder uniformity can initiate during the regular reduction process due to varying conditions at the beginning and end of the reduction process. At the end of the process, the concentration of tantalum in the melt is very low, while the sodium content increases. Based on the complex structure model of melts, it should be noted that the desired particle size of the powder is formed at the veiy beginning of the process, while the very fine fraction forms at the end of the process, independent of the initial content of the melt. The use of special equipment enables to perform a continuous reduction process with simultaneous loading of K TaFy and sodium, which can influence the improved uniformity of the primary powder [592,603,604],... 

NOTE The moisture content of steam can be measured by means of a throttling calorimeter or by analysis of the sodium content in a sample of condensed steam, using perhaps a specific ion electrode or flame photometer. 

Unfortunately, the same authorities also do not provide any recommendations for FW silica content, sodium content, or electrical resis-tivity/conductivity, all of which are important constituents of high-quality water and are used as indicators of purity. (Silica and conductivity recommendations are, however, provided for BW quality.)... 

Several different possible zeolite structures may result, and if the sodium content is too high, calcium and magnesium are excluded and a hard zeolite scale of sodium-aluminum silicate preferentially forms. If only calcium is present, calcium-aluminum silicate zeolite forms, also as a hard scale. If only magnesium is present in solution, it forms the flocculant magnesium aluminate, MgAl204. 

The vanadium content of heavy fuel oils (expressed as vanadium pentoxide) typically ranges from 50 to 1,000 ppm V205, although 50 to 300 ppm is more the norm. Sodium content typically varies from 10 to 100 ppm Na, depending on the percentage of salty water present in the oil. 

Side effects from crystalloids primarily involve fluid overload and electrolyte disturbances of sodium, potassium, and chloride.23 Dilution of coagulation factors can also occur resulting in a dilutional coagulopathy.24 Two clinically significant reasons LR is different from NS is that LR contains potassium and has a lower sodium content (130 versus 154 mEq/L or mmol/L). Thus, LR has a greater potential than NS to cause... 

The kidney is unable to adjust to abrupt changes in sodium intake in patients with severe CKD. Therefore, patients should be advised to refrain from adding salt to their diet, but should not restrict sodium intake. Changes in sodium intake should occur slowly over a period of several days to allow adequate time for the kidney to adjust urinary sodium content. Sodium restriction produces a negative sodium balance, which causes fluid excretion to restore sodium balance. The resulting volume contraction can decrease perfusion of the kidney and hasten the decline in GFR. Saline-containing intravenous (IV) solutions should be used cautiously in patients with CKD because the salt load may precipitate volume overload. 

The body s normal daily sodium requirement is 1.0 to 1.5 mEq/kg (80 to 130 mEq, which is 80 to 130 mmol) to maintain a normal serum sodium concentration of 136 to 145 mEq/L (136 to 145 mmol/L).15 Sodium is the predominant cation of the ECF and largely determines ECF volume. Sodium is also the primary factor in establishing the osmotic pressure relationship between the ICF and ECF. All body fluids are in osmotic equilibrium and changes in serum sodium concentration are associated with shifts of water into and out of body fluid compartments. When sodium is added to the intravascular fluid compartment, fluid is pulled intravascularly from the interstitial fluid and the ICF until osmotic balance is restored. As such, a patient s measured sodium level should not be viewed as an index of sodium need because this parameter reflects the balance between total body sodium content and TBW. Disturbances in the sodium level most often represent disturbances of TBW. Sodium imbalances cannot be properly assessed without first assessing the body fluid status.

This reabsorption occurs regardless of the sodium content of the body. In order to make adjustments in the sodium load, the reabsorption of the remaining 10% of filtered Na+ ions from the distal tubule and collecting duct is physiologically controlled by two hormones ... 

Sodium is the major extracellular cation. Because of its osmotic effects, changes in sodium content in the body have an important influence on extracellular fluid volume, including plasma volume. For example, excess sodium leads to the retention of water and an increase in plasma volume. Increased plasma volume then causes an increase in blood pressure. Conversely, sodium deficit leads to water loss and decreased plasma volume. A decrease in plasma volume then causes a decrease in blood pressure. Therefore, homeostatic mechanisms involved in the regulation of plasma volume and blood pressure involve regulation of sodium content, or sodium balance, in the body. 

The ZSM-5 zeolite had a SAR (silica-to-alumina ratio) value of 38 and were supplied by CENPES/PETROBRAS. These samples, as received, were submitted to two ion exchange processes with ammonium chloride solution at 323K for sodium content reduction, followed by calcinations at 773K under dry air flow for transformation to its acid form. 

Potassium Bicarbonate. Potassium bicarbonate has become available in commercial quantities for food use. The only reason for using it is that the sodium content of the resulting product is reduced. As the molecular weight of potassium bicarbonate is greater (100.11 for KHC03 compared with 84.01 for NaHC03) some 19% more is required to produce the same volume of carbon dioxide. Potassium bicarbonate is also more expensive. The reaction for its thermal decomposition is ...

Euvolemic hyponatremia is associated with a normal or slightly decreased ECF sodium content and increased total body water and ECF volume. 

Hypervolemic hyponatremia is associated with an elevated total body sodium content and an expanded ECF volume. 

One place where soil solution from saturated soils is routinely used is in the determination of salts in soil. Salts can build up in soil in low-rainfall areas. A measure of the salt content is essential for these soils. Typically, a saturated paste of soil is made and the water filtered by vacuum filtration. The filtrate can then be analyzed for electrical conductivity and this measurement, together with calcium, magnesium, and sodium content, can be used to calculate various measures of salt content and potential detrimental effects of salts on crops and water quality.
