Raw Material for Sodium Hydrosulfite Production

According to the Sodium Hydrosulfite production plant project report, the key raw materials used in the production of Sodium Hydrosulfite include Zinc Dust-Sulfur Dioxide-Sodium Hydroxide; Sodium Amalgam-Sulfur Dioxide-Alcohol.

Production Process of Sodium Hydrosulfite

The extensive Sodium Hydrosulfite production cost report consists of the following major industrial production process:

• From Zinc Dust, Sulfur Dioxide, and Sodium Hydroxide: The production process of Sodium Hydrosulfite involves several steps. First, zinc dust reacts with an aqueous solution of sulfur dioxide, forming zinc dithionate as an intermediate. This intermediate then reacts with sodium hydroxide forming Sodium Hydrosulfite as the final product, along with zinc oxide as a byproduct.
• From Sodium Amalgam, Sulfur Dioxide, and Alcohol: The production process of Sodium Hydrosulfite involves a chemical reaction between sodium amalgam and sulfur dioxide. In this process, sodium amalgam obtained by the mercury cell electrolysis of sodium chloride solution is reacted with sulfur dioxide in an alcoholic solution, such as methanol, forming  Sodium Hydrosulfite as the final product.

Sodium Hydrosulfite is a chemical compound with the chemical formula Na2S2O4, and its molecular weight is 174.11 g/mol. It is a white to yellow-colored crystalline solid and has a characteristic faint sulfurous odor with a density value of 2.38 g/cm3 under a standard temperature of 25 °C. It is highly volatile in nature and oxidizes in the presence of air under normal conditions. Its autoignition temperature is measured at 190 °C, and its flash point is measured above 100 °C. Its melting point is measured approximately at 52 °C. It is a flammable chemical with high solubility in water. It violently decomposes when heated at an elevated temperature and emits toxic fumes of sulfur oxide in the air. It behaves as a strong reducing agent in different chemical reactions.
