1.Introduction
Sodium sulfide is the chemicalcompound with the formula Na2S,or more commonly its hydrate Na2S·9H2O. Both are colorless water-soluble salts thatgive strongly alkaline solutions. When exposed to moist air,Na2S and its hydrates emit hydrogensulfide, which smells like rotten eggs. Some commercial samples arespecified as Na2S· xH2O, where a weight percentage of Na2S is specified. Commonly available grades have around 60% Na2S by weight, which means that xis around 3. Such technical grades of sodium sulfide have a yellow appearanceowing to the presence of polysulfides. These grades of sodium sulfideare marketed as 'sodium sulfide flakes'. Although the solid is yellow,solutions of it are colorless.
Structure:
Na2S adopts the antifluoritestructure, which means that the Na+ centers occupy sites of thefluoride in the CaF2 framework, and the larger S2− occupythe sites for Ca2+.
Production
Industrially Na2S isproduced by carbothermic reduction of sodiumsulfate often using coal:
Na2SO4 + 2 C → Na2S + 2 CO2
In the laboratory, the salt canbe prepared by reduction of sulfur with sodium in anhydrous ammonia.Alternatively, sulfur can be reduced by sodium in dry THFwith a catalytic amount of naphthalene:
2 Na + S → Na2S
Sodium sulfide can also beproduced by the reaction with sodium cyanide and sulfuric acid, however, toxic hydrogencyanide is formed in the process.
Reactionswith inorganic reagents:
The dissolution process can bedescribed as follows:
Na2S + H2O → NaHS + NaOH
Sodium sulfide can oxidize whenheated to sodium carbonate and sulfurdioxide:
2 Na2S + 3 O2 + 2 CO2 → 2 Na2CO3 + 2 SO2
Oxidation with hydrogen peroxidegives sodium sulfate:
Na2S + 4 H2O2 → 4 H2O + Na2SO4
Upon treatment with sulfur,polysulfides are formed:
2 Na2S + S8 → 2 Na2S5

3.Useage
Sodium sulfide is primarily usedin pulp and paper industry in the Kraft process.
It is used in water treatment asan oxygen scavenger agent and also as a metals precipitant, in chemicalphotography for toning black and white photographs, in textile industry as ableaching, and as a desulfurising and as a dechlorinating agent and in leathertrade for the sulfitisation of tanning extracts. It is used in chemicalmanufacturing as a sulfonation and sulfomethylation agent. It is used in theproduction of rubber chemicals, sulfur dyes and other chemical compounds. It isused in other applications including ore flotation, oil recovery, making dyes,and detergent. It is also used for leather processing in liming operation asunhairing agent.
Reagentin organic chemistry
Alkylation of sodium sulfide givethioethers:
Na2S + 2 RX → R2S + 2 NaX
Even aryl halides participate inthis reaction.[6] Sodiumsulfide reduces1,3-dinitrobenzene derivatives to the 3-nitroanilines.
4.Application
The chemical industry is used for the manufacture of sodium sulphide silicate sodium silicate water glass and other chemical products
A digester used in the paper industry to make kraft pulp
Used to make sodium sulphide pulp glass sodium silicate enamel, also used as a laxative and barium salt poisoning antidote
Mainly used as filling material for synthetic detergent
It is used in chemical, papermaking, glass dyeing and medicine industry, synthetic fiber leather, nonferrous metallurgy enamel, etc. It is also used as additive in detergent and soap
