Sodium nitrate, melting point 306.8℃, density 2.257 g/cm3 (20℃), colorless transparent or white microstrip yellow diamond crystal. Its taste is bitter and salty, easy to dissolve in water and liquid ammonia, slightly soluble in glycerol and ethanol, easy to be delirious, especially in the presence of a very small amount of sodium chloride impurities, sodium nitrate delirious greatly increased. When dissolved in water, the temperature of the solution decreases and the solution becomes neutral. On heating, sodium nitrate readily breaks down into sodium nitrite and oxygen. Sodium nitrate is inflammable and should be stored in a cool and well-ventilated place. Oxidizing. Friction or impact with organic matter can cause combustion or explosion.
To use:
Used in the enamel industry as a flux, oxidant and raw material for the preparation of enamel powder.
Used as decolorizer, defoamer, clarifier and oxidizing flux in glass industry.
Used in the inorganic industry as a decolorizer for molten caustic soda and in the manufacture of other nitrates. Used in the food industry as a coloring agent in meat processing, it can prevent meat from spoiling and play a flavoring role.
It can be used as quick effect fertilizer for acid soil in fertilizer industry, especially for root crops, such as beet, radish, etc.
Used in the dye industry as raw material for producing picric acid and dyes. It is used as a heat treatment agent for steelmaking and aluminum alloy in metallurgical industry.
It is used as metal cleaning agent and black metal bluing agent in machine city industry. Used in the medical industry as a medium for penicillin.
Used in the cigarette industry as an accelerant for tobacco. Used as a chemical reagent in analytical chemistry. In addition, also used in the production of explosives and so on.
Chemically pure sodium nitrate is used in low chromic acid passivation solutions for zinc coatings and in oxidation solutions for magnesium alloys.
Risk of ignition and explosion: strong oxidation, contact with organic matter or phosphorus or sulfur, friction or impact can cause combustion and explosion.
Storage Precautions: Store in a cool, ventilated warehouse. Keep away from fire and heat. The storage temperature shall not exceed 30℃, and the relative humidity shall not exceed 80%. Should be stored separately with reducing agent, active metal powder, acid, easy (combustible), etc., do not mix storage. The storage area should be equipped with suitable materials for leakage.
Notes:
Closed operation, enhanced ventilation. Operators must be specially trained and strictly abide by the operating rules. It is recommended that operators wear self-priming filter dust respirator, chemical safety protective glasses, anti-poison permeable overalls and rubber gloves. Avoid dust generation. Avoid contact with acids. Handle with care to prevent damage to packing and container. Equipped with leakage emergency treatment equipment. Empty containers may retain harmful substances. When diluting or preparing a solution, add alkali to the water to avoid boiling and splashing.
Precautions for storage:
Store in a cool, ventilated warehouse. Keep away from fire and heat. Should be stored separately with acids, do not mix storage. The storage area should be equipped with suitable materials for leakage.
