Sodium orthosilicate is the
chemical compound with the molecular formula Na
4SiO
4. It is one of the
sodium silicates, specifically an
orthosilicate, formally a
salt of the unstable
orthosilicic acid H
4SiO
4.

Sodium orthosilicate has been considered as an interfacial tension reducing additive in the waterflooding of oil fields for enhanced oil extraction. In laboratory settings, it was found to be more effective than sodium hydroxide for some types of oil. [5]
Sodium orthosilicate has been found to stabilize ferrate films as an anticorrosion treatment of iron and steel surfaces. [6]
Sodium orthosilicate has not been found in nature. However, the mineral
chesnokovite, chemically the related salt disodium dihydrogen orthosilicate [Na+
2SiO
2(OH)2−
2] · 8H
2O, was recently identified in the
Kola Peninsula.
