Sodium Metabisulfite
Sodium metabisulfite, disodium salt which represent an inorganic compound that is used as a yellowish white powder in various industries. Sodium metabisulfite has high antiseptic properties and oxidizes rapidly in contact with air humidity. One of the most important features of Sodium metabisulfite is the presence of sodium, hydrogen, oxygen and sulfur in it, and their entry into the water will severely damage aquatic animals.
Sodium metabisulfite applications
Sodium metabisulfite uses in some different industries in a wide range. Sodium metabisulfite, to remove excess chlorine in drinking water and neutralize cyanides and using in desalinate drinking water systems to clean reverse osmosis membranes. Sodium metabisulfite, to eliminate oxygen in the water and feed water boilers. Sodium metabisulfite using in wastewater treatment and chromic acid neutralization, and for cleaning and bleaching wool, jute yarn and other plant fibers. Sodium metabisulfite in paper making (for bleaching wood paste), Using in photographic and film industries to prepare suitable solvents for acid stabilizing baths. Sodium metabisulfite using in gold precipitation of golden acid (gold soluble in acidic acid) and using as a bleaching agent in the production of coconut cream. Sodium metabisulfite in the food industry as a preservative and prevent spoilage of food, especially in shrimp, fruit juices, vinegar and lemon juice, seafood, dried fruits, corn, beer and so on. Sodium metabisulfite in chemical industry using for reducing agent in purification and separation of aldehydes and ketones (to eliminate bromine-containing wastes). Sodium metabisulfite using in the cosmetics industry as a preservative
Sodium metabisulfite packing
Sodium metabisulfite, powder is packing in 20 kg sacks. For transporting Sodium metabisulfite in safe and sound condition, normally 50 sacks putting on a pallet and shrink.
