Key Industrial Applications
Fertilizers: Provides nitrogen for soil enrichment, promoting plant growth.
Explosives: A strong oxidizer, it’s crucial in creating blasting agents for mining and construction.
Metal Treatment: Used in molten salt baths for heat treating metals.
Glass & Ceramics: Acts as a fining agent to remove bubbles and improve clarity.
Chemical Manufacturing: An essential reagent for producing dyes and other nitrogen compounds.
Food Preservation: In meat curing, it preserves color and flavor, contributing to the pink hue of cured products like bacon.
Pyrotechnics: Used in fireworks due to its oxidizing properties.
Handling & Properties
Oxidizer: A powerful oxidizing agent that intensifies fires; keep away from heat and combustibles.
Packaging: Often comes in 25kg HDPE bags, requiring secure, cool, dry storage.
Safety: Proper personal protective equipment (PPE) is necessary to avoid skin, eye, and respiratory irritation.
- The main use of sodium nitrate is for the industrial production of organonitrogen compounds.
- It is a reagent for conversion of amines into diazo compounds, which are key precursors to many dyes, such as diazo dyes.
- Nitroso compounds are produced from nitrites.
