Process for working up the filtration residue of crude sodium prepared by fusion electrolysis into a high-purity sodium alcholate

摘要

A process for converting the filtration residue of crude sodium produced by fusion electrolysis into a sodium alcoholate with a low NaOH content. The residue first is intensively and continuously mixed for 2-5 hours at 300°-600° C. and then is added with stirring to the particular alcohol, possibly with heat added. The alcoholate solution so formed is filtered and the alcoholate may be obtained from the filtrate by distilling off the solvent.
