Powerful Oxidizing AgentWith a high purity of 25% w/w, Sodium Chlorite Solution acts as a potent oxidizer, making it invaluable for industrial disinfection, bleaching, and the production of chlorine dioxide. Its stability ensures reliable performance in demanding applications.
Safe Packaging and StorageSupplied in HDPE drums and IBC tanks, Sodium Chlorite Solution remains stable for at least 12 months when stored in cool, dry, well-ventilated areas away from acids and combustibles. Proper handling and storage minimize risks associated with its oxidizing and toxic nature.
Industrial ApplicationsThis solution is crucial for water treatment facilities, pulp and paper manufacturing, and textile industries. It serves as an efficient disinfectant and bleaching agent, contributing to cleaner water and whiter textiles. Its strong reactivity in acid forms also enables on-site chlorine dioxide generation.
FAQs of Sodium Chlorite 25% Liquid Solution:
Q: How should Sodium Chlorite 25% Liquid Solution be safely stored and handled?
A: It should be stored in cool, dry, well-ventilated areas away from acids, reducing agents, and combustibles. Handle with protective equipment and avoid contact with incompatible substances, as it is a strong oxidizer and poisonous.
Q: What industries most commonly use Sodium Chlorite 25% Liquid Solution?
A: It is widely employed in water treatment plants, pulp bleaching, disinfection processes, and the textile industry due to its strong oxidative and disinfection capabilities.
Q: When does Sodium Chlorite decompose, and what precautions should be observed during heating?
A: Sodium Chlorite decomposes upon heating rather than boiling, releasing toxic gases including chlorine dioxide. Avoid heating and always use it at recommended temperatures to prevent hazardous decomposition.
Q: Where is this product typically packaged, and what types of containers are used?
A: It is typically packaged in HDPE drums and IBC tanks to ensure safety during storage and transport. These containers prevent leaks and minimize the risk of reaction with incompatible materials.
Q: What makes Sodium Chlorite beneficial for water treatment and disinfection?
A: Its high reactivity as an oxidizer enables effective elimination of pathogens and organic contaminants, enhancing water clarity and safety. It is especially valuable for generating chlorine dioxide for advanced disinfection.
Q: How is Sodium Chlorite 25% Solution applied in industrial processes?
A: It is dosed or mixed according to industry-specific protocols, often adjusted to generate chlorine dioxide on site. Operators must follow safety data sheets and avoid contact with acids or combustibles during application.
Q: What are the risks to the environment and human health associated with Sodium Chlorite?
A: Sodium Chlorite is toxic to aquatic life and is poisonous to humans. Proper handling, containment, and disposal protocols are essential to mitigate environmental impact and health risks.
