Latest News and Developments:
Sodium sulfite (Na2SO3) is an inorganic chemical that is widely employed as a preservative, antioxidant, and reducing agent in a variety of industries. It appears as a white, crystalline powder that dissolves in water. This chemical is often formed by the reaction of sulfur dioxide (SO2) with sodium hydroxide (NaOH) or sodium carbonate (Na2CO3). By bubbling sulfur dioxide gas through an aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide or carbonate, the procedure yields sodium sulfite. This molecule finds uses in the production of paper, textile processing, water treatment, medication formulation, food and beverage preservation, and photographic chemicals. It is commended for being highly efficient, effective, stable, and adaptable.
