Sodium sulfite (sodium sulphite) is the inorganic compound with the chemical formula Na 2 SO 3. A white, water-soluble solid, it is used commercially as an antioxidant and preservative. It is also suitable for the softening of lignin in the pulping and refining processes of wood and lignocellulosic materials. [1]
Sodium sulfate is a typical electrostatically bonded ionic sulfate. The existence of free sulfate ions in solution is indicated by the easy formation of insoluble sulfates when these solutions are treated with Ba 2+ or Pb 2+ salts: Na 2 SO 4 + BaCl 2 → 2 NaCl + BaSO 4. Sodium sulfate is unreactive toward most oxidizing or reducing agents.
A space-filling model of the sulfite anion. Sulfites or sulphites are compounds that contain the sulfite ion (systematic name: sulfate(IV) ion), SO 2− 3. The sulfite ion is the conjugate base of bisulfite. Although its acid (sulfurous acid) is elusive, [1] its salts are widely used.
Radium sulfate is the most insoluble sulfate known. The barium derivative is useful in the gravimetric analysis of sulfate: if one adds a solution of most barium salts, for instance barium chloride, to a solution containing sulfate ions, barium sulfate will precipitate out of solution as a whitish powder. This is a common laboratory test to ...
Sulfite is SO 3 2-, available as its sodium and potassium salts, Na 2 SO 3 and K 2 SO 3, respectively. When dissolved in water, these salts react with oxygen to give the corresponding sulfate salts, which are innocuous. Sodium sulfite used industrial as a corrosion inhibitor/oxygen scavenger. Monoprotonation of sulfite gives HSO 3 −, which is ...
These chemicals cleave the bonds between the cellulose and lignin components of the lignocellulose. A variety of sulfite/bisulfite salts are used, including sodium (Na +), calcium (Ca 2+), potassium (K +), magnesium (Mg 2+), and ammonium (NH 4 +). The lignin is converted to lignosulfonates, which are soluble and can be separated from the ...

A sulfite sulfate is a chemical compound that contains both sulfite and sulfate anions [SO 3] 2− [SO 4] 2−. These compounds were discovered in the 1980s as calcium and rare earth element salts. Minerals in this class were later discovered. Minerals may have sulfite as an essential component, or have it substituted for another anion as in ...
