Applications
Manufacture of other chemicals
Production of chlorine dioxide: Sodium chlorate is an important raw material for producing chlorine dioxide, which is an efficient, broad-spectrum, and safe disinfectant widely used in the disinfection of drinking water, wastewater treatment, food processing, and other fields.
Production of perchlorates: Used to produce sodium perchlorate, ammonium perchlorate, and other perchlorates, which are used as propellants and explosives in aerospace, military, and other industries.
Pharmaceutical industry: Sodium chlorate can be used as a pharmaceutical intermediate in the pharmaceutical industry to synthesize some drugs.
Textile industry: Used as an oxidizing agent in the dyeing and finishing industry for processes such as bleaching and desizing of fabrics, effectively removing impurities and pigments from the fabric, and improving its whiteness and color.
Agriculture: Can be used as an herbicide to control annual and perennial weeds by disturbing the physiological metabolism of weeds, inhibiting weed growth, and achieving weed control.
Other applications: Used for bleaching pulp in the paper industry; used for ore processing in the mining industry.
Precautions
Health hazards: Irritating to the eyes, skin, and respiratory tract. Ingestion can irritate the gastrointestinal tract, causing symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and diarrhea, which can lead to poisoning and even death in severe cases.
Fire and explosion hazards: Strong oxidizing properties, contact with flammable or combustible materials may cause combustion and explosions. Avoid mixing and transporting sodium chlorate with organic substances and reducing agents to prevent accidents during storage and transportation.
Protective measures: When using sodium chlorate, personnel should wear protective goggles, gloves, masks, etc., to avoid skin contact and inhalation of dust.
