- No known hazardous reaction
No evidence was found for a hazardous interaction between less reactive metals and basic 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)).
