📌 Working Principle of Sodium Chlorate

  1. Oxidizing Power: Sodium Chlorate releases oxygen molecules, making it effective in bleaching and disinfecting applications.

  2. Chlorine Dioxide Production: Reacts with acidic reducing agents to generate ClO₂, a powerful and selective oxidizer used in pulp bleaching and water treatment.

  3. Herbicidal Action: Disrupts plant metabolism, causing defoliation in crops like cotton and controlling weed growth.


📌 Production Method & Raw Materials

✔ Raw Materials Used:

  • Sodium Chloride (NaCl)

  • Water (H₂O)

  • Electricity (Electrolysis Process)

✔ Production Process:

  1. Electrolysis of Sodium Chloride (Salt Solution):

    • A brine solution (NaCl + H₂O) is electrolyzed to produce Sodium Chlorate (NaClO₃).

  2. Crystallization & Filtration:

    • The solution is crystallized, purified, and filtered to remove impurities.

  3. Drying & Packaging:

    • The final product is dried and packed in moisture-proof bags.
