Characteristic
Sodium chlorite (NaClO2) is a chemical compound used in the manufacturing of paper and as a disinfectant.
Chemical formula:NaClO2
Molar mass: 90.442 g/mol (anhydrous);144.487 g/mol (trihydrate)
Appearance: white solid
Odor: odorless
Density :2.468 g/cm3, solid
Melting point: anhydrous decomposes at 180–200 °C;trihydrate decomposes at 38 °C
Solubility in water:75.8 g/100 mL (25 °C);122 g/100 mL (60 °C)
Solubility: slightly soluble in methanol, ethanol
Acidity (pKa): 10-11
Crystal structure:monoclinic
Application
Sodium chlorite is used in the in situ generation of chlorine dioxide for stripping of textiles, bleaching, pulp and paper industries. It acts as a disinfectant in water treatment plant and as a preservative in eye drops. It is also used in contact lens cleaning solution and for sanitizing air ducts. It is associated with zinc chloride and used as a component in therapeutic rinses, toothpastes, mouth sprays and gels. It is utilized for the synthesis of 4-oxo-2-alkenoic acids from alkyl furans. Further, it is involved as a reagent in Pinnick oxidation reaction to prepare carboxylic acid from aldehydes.
