One of Sodium chlorite's major benefits is that it's soluble in water, creating a process where chlorite ions and sodium ions are generated. With chlorite having a concentration of more than 80%, it is used to manufacture chlorine dioxide which in turn is used to purify and eliminate any microorganisms found in drinking water.

How is sodium chlorite powder produced?

Chlorine dioxide or CIO, is a reduction of sodium chlorate into a concentrated acid, which is achieved by  using a  reducing agent such as: sulfur dioxide, sodium chloride or hydrochloric acid .

Next, the chlorine dioxide is held by an alkaline solution that is reduced by the presence of hydrogen peroxide, resulting in a reaction that generates sodium chlorite.

When handling these compounds, it is important to be aware of the following:

·  The area must be properly ventilated, as high concentrations of the fumes can be damaging to health.

· Must be stored a cool dry area away from reducing agents or acids.

Warning.

Both this substance and chlorine dioxide (CDS), into which it is converted, are strong oxidisers. Ingesting this substance undiluted can cause abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, poisoning, kidney failure and blood disorders.
