It is understood that sodium nitrate is a kind of colorless transparent or white slightly yellowish diamond crystal easily soluble in water and liquid ammonia, slightly soluble in glycerol and ethanol. It is easily deliquescent. Used within the industry, so that everyone can make a good purchase, the specific industry areas and applications are divided into:
1. Enamel industry is used as flux, oxidant and raw material for preparing enamel powder.
2. The glass industry is used as a decolorizing agent, defoaming agent, clarifying agent and oxidizing flux for various glasses and products.
3. The inorganic industry is used as a decolorizing agent for molten caustic soda and for manufacturing other nitrates.
4. The food industry is used as a coloring agent for meat processing, which can prevent the meat from spoiling and can play a seasoning role.
5. The chemical fertilizer industry is used as fertilizer for acid soil, especially for root crops, such as sugar beet, radish, etc.
6. The dye industry is used as a raw material for the production of picric acid and dyes.
7. Chemically pure sodium nitrate is used in the low chromic acid passivation of zinc coating and the oxidation solution of magnesium alloy.
8. The metallurgical industry is used as a heat treatment agent for steelmaking and aluminum alloys.
9. Integrated industry is used as metal cleaning agent and formulating ferrous metal blueing agent.
10. Used as a culture medium for penicillin in the pharmaceutical industry.
11. The cigarette industry is used as a combustion aid for tobacco.
12. Used as a chemical reagent in analytical chemistry. In addition, it is also used to produce explosives.
Before specifically understanding the scope of application of sodium nitrate, I only know that it is mostly used. Through the above detailed introduction, it is clear to each application industry, so that users in different industries can easily choose to meet different needs. .
