Specific uses of sodium chloride

Inorganic and organic matter industry as the manufacture of chlorine, hydrogen, hydrochloric acid, soda ash, caustic soda, chlorate, hypochlorite, bleaching powder, sodium metal raw materials, refrigeration system of the refrigerant, organic synthesis of raw materials and salt precipitation agent. It is used as heat treatment agent in iron and steel industry. Highly refined sodium chloride is used as saline. Food industry, daily life, used for flavoring, etc. High temperature heat source with potassium chloride, barium chloride, etc. with a salt bath, can be used as a heating medium, so that the temperature is maintained between 820 ~ 960 ℃. In addition, it is also used in glass, dye, metallurgy and other industries.

According to new findings released by Singapore's Science and Technology Research Corporation (STRC), sodium chloride can significantly increase the capacity of hard disks.　Specifically, existing conventional hard drives use randomly allocated magnetic disk storage technology, which can only achieve a data density of 0.5 terabytes per square inch. While the new technology thanks to the help of sodium chloride, with the new high-resolution lithography factor technology, data data density will be more organized, can reach 3.3TB per square inch without the need for complex equipment upgrades, the existing manufacturing technology can be achieved. This means that the current 1TB hard disk using this technology can reach 6TB capacity without the need for additional platters.
