Sodium Chlorite Production Cost Reports

The Sodium chlorite production cost report provides a comprehensive analysis and know-how for setting up a sodium chlorite production plant. The study covers all the requisite aspects that one needs to know for the production of sodium chlorite. This includes manufacturing processes, raw material requirements, utility requirements, infrastructure requirements, machinery and technology requirements, manpower requirements, packaging requirements, transportation requirements, etc.

The report also provides detailed insights into project economics including capital investments, project funding, operating expenses, income and expenditure projections, fixed costs vs variable costs, direct and indirect costs, expected ROI and NPV, profit and loss account, financial analysis, etc.

Sodium chlorite is an inorganic salt. It is a white or yellowish crystalline powder that is extremely soluble in water. Sodium chlorite is an oxidising agent that can react aggressively with reducing agents, acids, and organic compounds. Sodium chlorite is primarily utilised in the manufacturing of chlorine dioxide, a potent oxidising agent that is widely employed as a bleaching agent, disinfectant, and water treatment chemical. Sodium chlorite is also utilised in the production of colours, chemicals, and medications. Because of its ability to inflict serious burns and respiratory irritation, sodium chlorite is classed as a hazardous chemical. It can also cause major eye damage and is hazardous if consumed or inhaled.

The molecular weight of sodium chlorite is 90.44 g/mol and it is a white or yellowish crystalline powder. It has a melting point of 225 °C (437 °C) and a boiling point of 300 °C Celsius (572 ° F). It is very soluble in water, forming a clear and colourless solution with a solubility of 50 g/100 mL at 20 °C. Sodium chlorite is a powerful oxidizer that reacts violently with reducing agents, acids, and organic compounds. It is also hygroscopic, which means it rapidly collects moisture from the air and should be stored dry to avoid becoming damp and clumping together.

Sodium chlorite is primarily utilised in the manufacture of chlorine dioxide, a strong oxidising agent widely used as a bleaching agent, disinfectant, and water treatment chemical. Various sectors, including pulp and paper, water treatment, and textile, among others, drive demand for chlorine dioxide, which is projected to increase demand for sodium chlorite in the coming years. Growth in the pulp and paper industry: Sodium chlorite is employed as a bleaching agent in the pulp and paper industries, where it improves the brightness and whiteness of the paper.

The expansion of the pulp and paper sector, particularly in emerging economies, is likely to drive sodium chlorite demand in the future years. In the textile industry, sodium chlorite is used as a bleaching agent to increase the colorfastness and brightness of the cloth. The expansion of the textile sector, notably in Asia and the Middle East, is likely to drive sodium chlorite demand in the future years.
