Search Result for Sodium Bicarbonate
sodium bicarbonate
The half-neutralized sodium salt of carbonic acid, used extensively for treating cement contamination and occasionally other calcium contamination in drilling fluids.
bicarb
See sodium bicarbonate
sodium
One of the alkali metal elements with a valence of 1, an atomic number of about 23. Numerous sodium compounds are used as additives to drilling fluids.
sodium bichromate
Also called sodium dichromate. See chromate.
base
A substance capable of reacting with an acid to form a salt. A typical base is sodium hydroxide (caustic), with the chemical formula MOH. For example, sodium hydroxide combines with hydrochloric acid to form sodium chloride (a salt) and water.
salt
A compound that is formed (along with water) by the reaction of an add with a base. A common salt (table salt) is sodium chloride derived by combining hydrochloric add with sodium hydroxide. The result is sodium chloride and water. Another salt is calcium sulfate, obtained when sulfuric acid is combined with calcium hydroxide.
sodium silicate muds
Special class of inhibited chemical muds using as their bases sodium silicate, salt, water, and clay
soda ash
See sodium carbonate
CMC
Abbreviation: see sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, coagulation, flocculation.
sodium carbonate
Used extensively for treating various types of calcium contamination. Also called soda ash.
caustic soda
Sodium hydroxide. Used to maintain an alkaline pH in drilling mud and in petroleum fractions.
sodium chloride
Common table salt. It is sometimes used in cement slurries as an accelerator or a retarder, depending on the concentration.
sodium polyacrylate
A synthetic high-molecular-weight polymer of acrylonitrile used primarily as a fluid loss control agent
soap
The sodium or potassium salt of a high-molecular weight fatty acid. Commonly used in drilling fluids to improve lubrication, emulsification, sample size, and defoaming.
sodium chromate
See chromate, caustic soda.
base exchange
The replacement of cations associated with the clay surface by those of another species, e.g., the conversion of sodium clay to calcium clay.
chrome lignite
Mined lignite, usually leonardite, to which chromate has been added or has reacted. The lignite can also be causticized with either sodium or potassium hydroxide.
salt mud
1. a drilling mud in which the water has an appreciable amount of salt (usually sodium or calcium chloride) dissolved in it. Also called saltwater mud or saline drilling fluid.
brine
Water that has large quantity of salt, especially sodium chloride, dissolved in it, salt water.
sodium carboxymethyl cellulose
See carboxymethyl cellulose
