Description
What is Sodium Metasilicate Pentahydrate?
Sodium metasilicate pentahydrate is a multifunctional product that shows excellent pH-regulating capacity, efficient detergency, effective corrosion inhibition, good dispersing properties and which is environmentally safe. Our high quality standards and granulation expertise guarantee a pure and stable product.
Core Features
Sodium metabisulfite's molecular structure consists of two sulfite groups connected by a sulfur-sulfur bond, representing a condensed form of sulfite. Its aqueous solution is acidic and reacts with strong acids (such as hydrochloric acid) to release sulfur dioxide gas. The equation is:
Na₂S₂O₅ + 2HCl → 2NaCl + 2SO₂↑ + H₂O
It readily oxidizes to sodium sulfate (Na₂S₂O₆) in air and decomposes into sodium sulfate and sulfur dioxide at high temperatures (>150°C). Furthermore, it can combine with metal ions (such as Fe⁺ and Al⁺) to form sulfite precipitates, making it a common method for removing heavy metals from industrial wastewater.
Production Process
The mainstream method involves the reaction of sulfur dioxide with sodium hydroxide solution to generate sodium bisulfite in a stepwise manner, followed by dehydration and condensation:
SO₂ + 2NaOH → Na₂SO₃ + H₂O
Na₂SO₃ + SO₂ → 2NaHSO₃
2NaHSO₃ → Na₂S₂O₅ + H₂O
Storage Requirements: Store in sealed containers in a dry, cool place, away from acids and oxidants to prevent moisture absorption, caking, and decomposition.

FAQ
What is advantages of Sodium Metabisulphite in mining?
In the mining industry, sodium metabisulfite plays a vital role in the INCO process. Sodium metabisulfite is a source of sulfur dioxide. In the presence of air and a copper catalyst, it can oxidize toxic cyanide into less harmful cyanate. This reaction greatly reduces the environmental impact of cyanide used in gold extraction.
What usage about Sodium Metabisulphite in food industry field?
Preservation and Freshness Preservation.
It inhibits microbial growth, extending the shelf life of fruits, vegetables, and preserves. It is particularly suitable for preserving canned mushrooms and bamboo shoots.
It acts as a fungicide in brewing and beverages, preventing spoilage during the fermentation process.
Precautions for Use about Sodium Metabisulphite
Sodium metabisulfite usage must be strictly controlled. my country's regulations stipulate that its residual content (measured as SO₂) must be less than 0.05g/kg in preserved fruits and bamboo shoots, and less than 0.1g/kg in foods such as biscuits. Direct contact may irritate the skin and mucous membranes, and long-term excessive intake may cause respiratory inflammation or allergic reactions.
