Sodium chlorite is relatively stable at room temperature and under normal storage conditions. It is easy to decompose and release chlorine dioxide gas when exposed to acid. With sawdust, organic matter, reducing material contact, impact, friction, easy to explosion or combustion, toxic! |
Application | sodium chlorite is mainly used in the production of chlorine dioxide, and also used in the bleaching of fibers, fabrics, oils, Pulp, etc, some metal surface treatment and water sterilization. |
identification test | sodium test (IT-28) was positive. Add dilute hydrochloric acid in 5% of the sample solution, should produce a yellow gas, the liquid is yellow-brown. The red litmus paper turned blue when soaked with 5% sample solution. |
content analysis | accurately weigh about 1g of the sample, dissolve it with water and make it volume to 250ml. 20ml of the solution was placed in an iodine flask, and 12ml of 1 mol/L sulfuric acid and 25ml of potassium iodide test solution (TS-192) were added. The solution was immediately tamped and left in the dark for 5min, and 0.5ml of starch test solution (TS-235) was added. Titration was carried out with 0.1mol/L sodium thiosulfate solution, and a blank test was carried out at the same time. Each ml of 0.1mol/L sodium thiosulfate solution is equivalent to 2.261mg of sodium chlorite (NaClO2). |

Chlorine dioxide can occur during use, and woodchucks can cause death for several hours in air containing 45 x 10-6 chlorine dioxide. It has a stimulating effect on the mucous membrane of respiratory organs and eyes. According to Japanese regulations, it is limited to Cherry, Bee bucket, grape and peach. Mainly used for sugar-stained products. The aqueous solution of this product has stable bleaching ability under acidic conditions, so citric acid can be added to adjust the pH value to 3~5 after bleaching. Does not cause tissue embrittlement. When bleaching, corrosion-resistant containers made of wood or polyethylene should be used, and metal containers should not be used. Bleached food must be decomposed or removed before final preparation. This product dust has a stimulating effect on respiratory mucosa, eyes and skin. The solution such as accidental splash into the eyes or splash on the skin, should be immediately washed with water, serious cases quickly sent to the hospital for treatment. LD50 166 mg/kg (Rat oral). Eating 5~6G is life-threatening. Immediately after eating, drink salt water and warm soap water to make it vomit. Production personnel should wear work clothes, protective masks, latex gloves and other labor protection articles to protect the respiratory organs and skin. Production equipment should be closed, workshop ventilation should be good. |

production method | industrial production includes hydrogen peroxide method and electrolysis method. Hydrogen peroxide method see sodium chlorite, the difference is to add arsenic removal agent and heavy metal removal agent for solution purification, filtration, removal of arsenic and heavy metals and other impurities. in the hydrogen peroxide method, sodium chlorate was first dissolved in water to form a solution containing 250g/L of sodium chlorate, then a chlorine dioxide generator was added thereto, and then sulfuric acid was adjusted to 4mol/L of H2SO4. Sulfur dioxide and air mixture and 4mol/L H2S04 were added to the chlorine dioxide generator for reaction, respectively, and the generated chlorine dioxide gas was passed into 3 series bubble absorption tower, and 27.5% hydrogen peroxide, 18% ~ 20% liquid caustic soda reaction, the resulting solution contains NaClO2140 ~ 160g/L. After precipitation, the clear solution is a liquid sodium chlorite product. After evaporation concentration to sodium chlorite solution concentration of 350~400g/L, after cooling crystallization, filtration, drying, solid sodium chlorite product. 2NaClO3 + SO2 + H2SO4 → 2C1O2+2NaHSO42C1O2 + 2NaOH + H2O2 → 2NaC1O2 + 2H2O + O2 electrolysis method sodium chlorate was dissolved in water and sulfuric acid to form mixed acid, which contained 260g/L sodium chlorate, the chlorine dioxide generator is added, and then the mixed gas of sulfur dioxide and air (containing 8 ~ 10% of sulfur dioxide) is introduced into the chlorine dioxide generator for reaction, and 15% of the chlorine dioxide gas is passed into the cathode chamber of the electrolytic cell, brine and distilled water were continuously added to the anode chamber for electrolysis to produce a sodium chlorite solution having a sodium chlorite content of about 20%. After removal of traces of free chlorine dioxide, spray drying was carried out at 130 °c. Alternatively, the solid sodium chlorite can be concentrated by evaporation, cooled crystallization, filtered and dried to obtain a final product. 2NaClO3 + H2SO4 + SO2 → 2ClO2+2NaHSO4C1O2 + e → C1O2-2Cl-+ 2e → C12 ↑na ++ ClO2-→ NaClO2 three-compartment type separated on cation exchange membrane by electrolysis in the electrolytic cell, chlorine dioxide gas (content of about 15%, the molar ratio of ClO2: Cl2 is not less than 15: 1) into the cathode chamber, dissolved in solution, at about 30 degrees Celsius from the cathode to obtain chlorite, sodium chloride solution is continuously introduced into the anode chamber, and chlorine ions emit electrons and become chlorine gas to escape. Under the action of direct current electric field, sodium ions pass through the anode film into the cathode chamber and combine with chlorous acid to form sodium chlorite. The content of the solution is 17% ~ 23%, and the finished product is obtained by spray drying after removing trace chlorine dichloride. The hydrogen peroxide method dilutes the raw material chlorine dioxide to about 10% with air, enters the bubbling absorber, condenses LV through the coil, and sends 30% hydrogen peroxide to the absorber, naOH solution (160g/L) was introduced and reacted at 0~2 ℃. After the reaction is finished, filtering, and then the filtrate is vacuum evaporated to 350~400g/L, transferred to the crystallizer, crystallization at -5 ~-10 deg C, the final product was obtained by air drying below 70 °c. |
