Solubility: It is highly soluble in water and slightly soluble in ethanol, methanol, and ether. Its aqueous solution is alkaline.
Uses
Food Industry: It is a food additive, mainly used as a color fixative and preservative. In the processing of meat products, it can make the meat maintain a bright color, inhibit the growth of microorganisms, and prolong the shelf life. However, the usage and residue amounts are strictly regulated by national standards to ensure food safety.
Chemical Industry: It is an important chemical raw material, used in the production of various chemical products such as nitric acid, nitrous acid, and caprolactam. It can also be used as a reducing agent in organic synthesis, participating in various organic chemical reactions.
Pharmaceutical Industry: It has certain applications in the medical field, such as in the treatment of cyanide poisoning. However, its use must strictly follow medical norms.
Other Fields: In metal processing, it can be used as a corrosion inhibitor for steel anti - rust. In the printing and dyeing industry, it can be used as a mordant for fabric dyeing.
Safety Information
Toxicity: Sodium nitrite is toxic. Ingesting a small amount can cause poisoning, and ingesting more than 3 grams can be fatal. It combines with hemoglobin in the human body, making it lose the ability to transport oxygen, leading to tissue hypoxia. At the same time, sodium nitrite may be converted into nitrosamines under certain conditions, and nitrosamines are strong carcinogens.
Oxidizing Property: It has oxidizing properties. It is easy to catch fire and burn when in contact with organic matter and combustibles. It may explode when mixed with strong oxidants such as potassium permanganate and potassium chlorate.
Storage Precautions: It should be stored in a cool and ventilated warehouse, away from fire and heat sources. The warehouse temperature should not exceed 30 °C, and the relative humidity should not exceed 80%. The packaging should be sealed to prevent contact with air. It should be stored separately from reducing agents, active metal powders, acids, and food chemicals. Do not store them together. The storage area should be equipped with suitable materials to contain leaks.
