1000 KG / BAG Sodium Nitrate NaNO3 White Powder Used As Heat Treating Agent

Sodium nitrate is a kind of inorganic salt, the chemical formula is NaNO3, a white solid powder, also known as Chilean saltpeter or Peruvian saltpeter (less common). The world's largest sodium nitrate mine is located in Chile's Atacama Desert. Sodium nitrate in water is neutral. It is an oxidizing agent, and wood chips, cloth, oil and other organic matter contact can cause combustion and explosion.

  Sodium nitrate is mainly used as a corrosion inhibitor and metal embrittlement inhibitor in boilers in the field of water treatment. When sodium nitrate is used as a metal embrittlement inhibitor, it should be compounded with sodium hydroxide and kept in a certain proportion. Adding sodium nitrate in a low-pressure boiler system can prevent the embrittlement of metal materials. In addition, there is a wide range of uses in other areas.

  Sodium nitrate can help prevent food spoilage and ensure safe human consumption. Large doses can be used in insecticides and rodenticides. Apart from this, sodium nitrate has many industrial uses, including fertilizers, photochemistry and metal casting industries.

  Sodium nitrate is also a salt used in the production of fertilizers, explosives, and rocket propellants. Sodium nitrate is also used as a preservative to preserve meat and food products. Sodium nitrate has antimicrobial properties that prevent rotting meat poisoning, and many people may not realize that some leafy greens also contain large amounts of sodium nitrate.
