2. Physical & Chemical Properties
2.1 Physical Index
- Appearance: White crystalline powder
- Odor: Odorless
- Solubility: Soluble in water to form strongly alkaline solution; insoluble in ethanol and organic solvents
- Melting Point: 1583 °C
- Aqueous solution pH (1%): 11.5–12.5
- Hygroscopy: Hygroscopic, easy to absorb moisture and agglomerate in humid air
- Crystal characteristic: Anhydrous powder, easy to form hydrate when contacting water vapor
2.2 Chemical Properties
- Phosphate anion characteristic: Reacts with calcium, magnesium, iron ions to form insoluble phosphate precipitates, realizing water softening
- Strong alkalinity: Hydrolysis in water generates OH-, powerful saponification to decompose animal/plant grease
- Acid-base reaction: Neutralizes with all inorganic acids to produce sodium dihydrogen phosphate / disodium hydrogen phosphate
- Thermal stability: Stable at normal temperature, only melts at ultra-high temperature without decomposition
- Photostability: No discoloration under light irradiation
- Compatibility: Compatible with anionic surfactants; incompatible with acid substances, hard water metal ions
