Latest developments in the sodium nitrite industry:
Sodium nitrite, with the chemical formula NaNO2, is a salt of nitrous acid. NaNO2 is typically produced by the reaction of sodium nitrate with nitrous acid or by the reduction of sodium nitrate with a suitable reducing agent, which may be sodium sulfide or iron. In many industries, sodium nitrite is used for various purposes. For instance, when NaNO2 is combined with food, it ceases reactions with bacteria, including Clostridium botulinum, which leads to botulism. Other uses of sodium nitrite include making dyes, pharmaceuticals, and rubber chemicals. Moreover, sodium nitrite is used for the production of nitrous oxide, a gaseous anaesthetic. In the metallurgical industry, NaNO2 is used in the cleaning and inhibition of metal surfaces.
