Sodium Bromite(CAS: 7486-26-2)

Sodium bromite is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula NaBiO3. It is a bright orange-red solid with a slight metallic taste and is highly reactive. Sodium bromite is used in various applications such as water treatment, as a reducing agent in chemical reactions, and in photography.

Sodium bromite is primarily used in water treatment processes to remove iron and manganese. It is also utilized as a reducing agent in chemical reactions and in the photography industry for developing films. Additionally, it plays a role in the production of certain dyes and pigments.

Sodium bromite is generally safe when handled properly. However, it is highly reactive and corrosive, so it is important to use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves and goggles. It should be stored in a cool, dry place away from sources of ignition and incompatible materials.

Sodium bromite should be stored in a tightly sealed container at room temperature in a cool, dry place. It should be kept away from moisture and heat to prevent degradation. Storage should also ensure it is away from incompatible substances such as acids, alkalis, and organic materials.
