Hazard Predictions

No evidence was found for a hazardous interaction between less-reactive metals and carbonate salts under ambient conditions.

The elements platinum, gold, vanadium, titanium, zirconium, aluminum, molybdenum, tungsten, and iron are attacked by molten sodium carbonate (m.p. = 851 C), with liberation of CO2 and formation of complex metal oxide - sodium oxide compounds. At higher temperature, the Na2O formed reacts with excess metal to form sodium metal vapor (Thieme, C. 2000. Sodium Carbonates. Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry. (Online)).
