Natrium Chlorit (Sodium Chlorite 25%)

Sodium chlorite (NaClO2) is an important chemical compound with several industrial applications. Here are some key points about sodium chlorite:

Properties
Physical form: Sodium chlorite is a white or light yellow crystalline substance.
Solubility: It is soluble in water, where it forms a mildly basic solution.

Applications
Paper production: The primary use of sodium chlorite is in the production of chlorine dioxide, which is used for bleaching and treating pulp and paper. Chlorine dioxide is effective in removing undesirable colors and lignin from paper products.
Disinfectant: Sodium chlorite is also used for disinfection, particularly in municipal water treatment plants, where it can be converted into chlorine dioxide. This is a beneficial method as it reduces the formation of trihalomethanes (THMs), which are potential harmful by-products from chlorine treatment.
Water treatment safety: Chlorine dioxide, generated from sodium chlorite, is FDA-approved for use under specific conditions to disinfect water used for washing fruits, vegetables, and poultry, ensuring effective pathogen reduction without producing harmful by-products.

Safety
Irritation: Sodium chlorite can be irritating to the skin, eyes, and respiratory system. It is important to use appropriate protective equipment when handling it.
Reactivity: It must be stored correctly, as sodium chlorite can react with acids and other chemicals, which may release dangerous gases.

Sodium chlorite is therefore an important compound in both the paper industry and water treatment, where it plays a role in both bleaching and disinfection.

 

Sodium chlorite can be supplied in bulk, IBCs, drums, and containers.
