Dispersions of molten Na (d. at 100°C, 0.928) in inert liquids containing about 50% metallic Na (particle size 1-20 millimicrons) can be prepared in the laboratory by mechanical dispersion. The boiling point of the inert liquid must be higher than the melting point of Na (97.5°C). Such liquids include toluene, xylene, some light mineral spirits, kerosene, heptane, n-octane, mineral oil, and naphthalene. Appropriate agents (0.25-1%) contribute to the reduction of particle size (soot, copper powder, pyridine, etc.) or stabilize the dispersion (oleic acid, aluminum stearate, calcium stearate, etc.).
