A
new research report by Transparency Market Research offers a
comprehensive evaluation of the global Sodium
Amide
Market. The
study, titled “Sodium
Amide Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends
and Forecast 2016 - 2024”,
is available for sale on the firm’s website.
Sodium
amide, often called sodamide, is a highly reactive crystalline
inorganic base. It is used in synthesis of various organic compounds
and dyes. Sodium amide reacts aggressively with water and forms
explosive compounds when exposed to air. Therefore, sodium amide is
stored in inert atmosphere of nitrogen or argon. Sodium amide is used
as a catalyst in the production of hydrazine and sodium cyanide. It
is also employed in the production of hydrogen gas by the reaction of
ammonia, sodium metal, and sodium amide. The compound is used to
manufacture dyes, specifically indigo dye. Along with an alkali,
sodium amide is used to obtain indoxly from phenyl glycine. This
indigo production method exploits the reactivity of sodium amide with
water to substantially lower the overall temperature of the entire
process of indigo dye production. Furthermore, sodium amide acts as a
drying reagent for dehydrating ammonia gas and deprotonation of
alkynes, weak acids, alcohols, etc.

Report Preview:
Demand
for sodium amide is rising due to the high demand for indigo dye in
the textile industry, especially in China and India. Need for sodium
amide in the manufacture of indigo dye is expected to increase during
forecast period owing to the rapid technological advancement in
textile production. Sodium cyanide, which requires sodium amide for
its synthesis, is one of the key reagents in the extraction of gold
from its ore. The gold industry is expanding significantly; this is
estimated to propel the demand for sodium cyanide, thereby boosting
the demand for sodium amide. Sodium amide is also used for synthesis
of hydrazine. Usage of hydrazine as a part of rocket fuel in space
exploration; gun propellant; and precursor to production of
pharmaceuticals and pesticides & insecticides is driving the
market for sodium amide. However, high reactivity, difficulty in
handling, and other environmental hazards are compelling industry
participants to search for better, more stable, and safer
alternatives of sodium amide. This is likely to moderately hamper the
sodium amide in the near future.
Based
on functionality, the global sodium amide market can be classified
into catalyst, deprotonation agent, and dehydrating agent. Sodium
amide is largely used as a catalyst in the production of several
industrial compounds such as hydrazine and sodium cyanide.
Geographically, the sodium amide market has been divided into North
America, Asia Pacific, Europe, Middle East & Africa, and Latin
America. Asia Pacific (especially China and India) utilizes
significant amount of sodium amide for the production of indigo dyes
for textiles. Consumption of sodium amide is also high in North
America and Europe for the production of jeans and denims; indigo dye
is primarily used in coloring denims and jeans. Furthermore, the use
of sodium amide as a catalytic agent for the production of hydrazine
is also boosting the market in Asia Pacific as the region is a
significant producer of hydrazine hydrate.
The
compound is commercially manufactured by reacting ammonia gas/liquid
with sodium metal in the presence of ferric nitrate as a catalyst.
The compound is also obtained as a by-product during the production
process of hydrogen gas. Manufacturers of sodium amide include
JinXiang Chemical Enterprise, Natrizen Chemicals Private Limited,
Nasense Labs Private Limited, Hongze Xinxing Chem Co., Ltd., Solvay
USA Inc., Alkali Metals Limited, Fox Chemicals GmbH, Hangzhou Meite
Chemical Co., Ltd. (Meite Industry Co., Ltd.), and Align Chemicals.
