SODIUM CHLORITE PRODUCTION PLANTS

Chlorine dioxide (ClO2) is a strong oxidant obtained by reduction of sodium chlorate in an acidic solution with an appropriate reducing agent (sodium chloride, sulphur dioxide, or hydrochloric acid). The chlorine dioxide is then absorbed in an alkaline solution and reduced with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) to produce Sodium Chlorite (NaClO2).

KERN S&D plants respond to a worldwide need, which is the on-site industrial production of small volumes of Chlorine and chlorinated products such as Sodium Chlorite.

TECHNOLOGY

KERN SD has an innovative technology for the production of Sodium Chlorite in 25% / 30% solution from sodium chlorate (NaClO3).

Plants designed and developed by KERN S&D use safe, environmentally friendly and highly competitive technology due to their low investment and low operating costs (high electrical efficiency and degree of automation). KERN SD’s technology complies with EU directives on Best Available Technologies (BAT) for the production of chlor-alkali and chlorine-alkali (Directive 2010/75/UE).

APPLICATIONS

Sodium Chlorite is widely used in:
  • Water purification – used in municipal water treatment plants. An advantage of this application is that it does not generate trihalomethanes.
  • Industrial and waste water treatment
  • Bleaching of fibres in the paper industry
  • Disinfectant in processes in the food industry (food and beverage), processing of slaughterhouse waste to reduce odour…
  • Laboratory reagents
