The role of sodium chloride in extraction method?

Brine (saturated sodium chloride solution) is usually the last solution used in an aqueous wash to help remove trace amounts of water (and anything water soluble) from the organic layer. Many chemists skip this step however, since sodium sulfate or manganese sulfate is used to remove water from the organic layer anyway, after the organic layer is separated.


What is brine in chemistry?

Brine is essentially salty water, usually with sodium chloride. It's saturated, or very nearly saturated, meaning that its at the point where no, or little more salt could be dissolved into the solution.


What are the uses for brine?

Brine is made into salt which is one of the uses. Edit : Brine can also be used to separate impurities from organic compounds, when used in organic extractions.

What is the process of manufacturing alkali from brine?

There are several processes, but the simplest is electrolysis with a diaphragm cell. Electricity is passed through the brine, hydrogen ions from the water are attracted to the cathode and discharged to form hydrogen gas. This results in a build up of hydroxide ions in the solution, effectively turning sodium chloride solution (brine) into sodium hydroxide solution (an alkali). You'll find this process in any standard chemistry text.
