Sodium Chemicals

Product Details:

Sodium nitrate is the chemical compound with the formula NaNO₃. This salt is also known as Chile saltpeter or Peru saltpeter (due to the large deposits found in the Atacama desert in these countries) to distinguish it from ordinary saltpeter, potassium nitrate. The mineral form is also known as nitratine, nitratite or soda niter.

Sodium nitrate is a white solid which is very soluble in water. It is a readily available source of the nitrate anion (NO₃⁻), which is useful in several reactions carried out on industrial scales for the production of fertilizers, pyrotechnics and smoke bombs, glass andpottery enamels, food preservatives (esp. meats), and solid rocket propellant. It has been mined extensively for these purposes.
