About Sodium chlorite

Sodium- chlorite (NaClO2) is a white crystalline solid, being able to accelerate the burning of organic substances. It is used in paper manufacture, water purification bleaching wood pulp, textile, fats, and oils, as a disinfectant and in many other fields. In the organic synthesis, it can be frequently used for the oxidation of aldehydes to carboxylic acids. It can also be used to convert Alkyl furans to the 4-oxo-2-alkenoic acids. Moreover, the acidified sodium- chlorite (mixture of sodium- chlorite with acid such as citric acid) can be used for the sanitation of the hard surfaces as well as rinsing of many foods. In Arm y, it can be used to combating contaminants such as benigh microbes and food pathogens.
