What are the role of sodium nitrate
sodium nitrate, melting point is 306. 8 ℃, density of 2. 257 grams/cubic centimeter ( At 20 ℃) Colorless transparent or white microstrip yellow diamond crystals. Its bitter taste salty, soluble in water and liquid ammonia, slightly soluble in glycerin and ethanol, easy deliquescence, especially in very small amounts of sodium chloride impurities, sodium nitrate deliquescence is greatly increased. When dissolved in water when its solution temperature is reduced, the solution is neutral. When heated, sodium nitrate easily decomposed into sodium nitrite and oxygen. Sodium nitrate can be fuel, it should be stored in a cool, ventilated place. With oxidation, in company with organic friction or collision can cause burns or explosion. Stimulating, toxicity is small, but have a harm to human body.
enamel is used as an oxidant help dissolve flux, and to make the enamel powder materials. Industrial used for all kinds of glass and glass products of decoloring agent, defoaming agent, clarifying agent and oxidation of flux. Inorganic industry as decoloring agent for molten caustic soda and used in the manufacture of other nitrates. Send lubricious agent used in meat processing, food industry can prevent meat metamorphism, and flavoring. Used as a fertilizer industry for acidic soil organic fertilizer, especially for root crops, such as beet, carrot, etc. Dyestuff industry used as production picric acid and raw materials.
