1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This report named ‘Demand analysis of caustic soda produced by ASM chemicals which is a tree branch of Aziz Group” is all about the production of caustic soda and its previous and current demand in the Bangladesh market. The topic was chosen because it is important to bring into limelight the importance of chemical industries in Bangladesh and the importance of caustic soda in producing innumerable essential consumer goods. I have discussed about the Organization, a short summary about my job responsibilities in Aziz Group. The main analysis was about the demand analysis of caustic soda, the competitors of ASM chemicals and the industries in which Aziz Group supplies caustic soda to. This report contains the details of caustic soda and the method how it is being produced by Aziz group. This report also carries valuable information regarding other types of chemicals produced by Aziz Group as well. I have also tried to point out the areas where Aziz Group has the opportunity to improve their condition.
2. Why demand analysis of caustic soda?
2.1 CAUSTIC SODA
Sodium hydroxide, also known as caustic soda, or lye, is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula NaOH. It is a white solid and highly caustic metallic base and alkali salt which is available in pellets, flakes, granules, and as prepared solutions at a number of different concentrations. Sodium hydroxide forms an approximately 50% (by weight) saturated solution with water.
Sodium hydroxide is soluble in water, ethanol and methanol. This alkali is deliquescent and readily absorbs moisture and carbon dioxide in air.
Sodium hydroxide is used in many industries, mostly as a strong chemical base in the manufacture of pulp and paper, textiles, drinking water, soaps and detergents and as a drain cleaner. Worldwide production in 2004 was approximately 60 million tonnes, while demand was 51 million tones.
Physical properties
Pure sodium hydroxide is a whitish solid, sold in
