History OF SODIUM PERCARBONATE
Sodium percarbonate was first prepared in 1899 by Russian chemist Sebastian Moiseevich Tanatar.
Structure OF SODIUM PERCARBONATE
At room temperature, solid sodium percarbonate has the orthorhombic crystal structure, with the Cmca crystallographic space group.
The structure changes to Pbca as the crystals are cooled below about −30 °C.
PRODUCTION OF SODIUM PERCARBONATE
Sodium percarbonate is produced by the reaction of sodium carbonate with hydrogen peroxide, which can be done via dry, spray granulation, and crystallization processes.
In the dry process, an aqueous hydrogen peroxide solution is sprayed on solid sodium carbonate; a solid-liquid reaction yields sodium percarbonate.
In the spray granulation process sodium percarbonate is produced by a fluid bed process.
Solutions of sodium carbonate and hydrogen peroxide are sprayed simultaneously into a drying chamber onto seed crystals whereby the water is evaporated.
In the crystallization process, sodium percarbonate is usually formed by reacting solutions of sodium carbonate and hydrogen peroxide in a crystallizer possibly in combination with salting out agents.
USES OF SODIUM PERCARBONATE
As an oxidizing agent, sodium percarbonate is an ingredient in a number of home and laundry cleaning products, including non-chlorine bleach products such as Oxyper, OxiClean, Tide laundry detergent, and Vanish.
Many commercial products mix a percentage of sodium percarbonate with sodium carbonate.
The average "Oxy" product in the supermarket contains 35–40% sodium percarbonate with about 5% active oxygen when titrated.
Sodium percarbonate is also used as a cleaning agent in homebrewing.
Sodium percarbonate can be used in organic synthesis as a convenient source of anhydrous H2O2, in particular in solvents that cannot dissolve the carbonate but can leach the H2O2 out of it.
A method for generating trifluoroperacetic acid in situ for use in Baeyer–Villiger oxidations from sodium percarbonate and trifluoroacetic anhydride has been reported; it provides a convenient and cheap approach to this reagent without the need to obtain highly concentrated hydrogen peroxide.
The use of sodium percarbonate as a detergent bleaching active will not have any significant impact on the aquatic organisms.
Perborate as a bleach component in heavy-duty laundry detergents is being increasingly substituted by percarbonate.
In the wash process, sodium percarbonate does form hydrogen peroxide and sodium carbonate.
Sodium carbonate is a water-soluble mineral and is ubiquitously present in the aqueous environment as there is an equilibrium with carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and with other dissolved mineral carbonates.
While Na-percarbonate expectedly displays some aquatic toxicity due to the formation of unstable hydrogen peroxide
(fish-LC50 = 71 mg/l, daphnia-EC50 = 4.9 mg/l), sodium carbonate has very low aquatic toxicity (see Section 3.2.6). Thus, the use of sodium percarbonate as a detergent bleaching active will not have any significant impact on the aquatic organisms.
