Soda-niter

The most common compound is sodium chloride, but it occurs in many other minerals, such as soda niter, cryolite, amphibole, zeolite, etc. [Pg.27]

Soda niter or sodium nitrate (NaNO ) is the most abundant of the nitrate minerals. It is used for fertilizer, explosives, and preservatives. The natural deposits are located in northern Chile, which was the original source for many years. More recently, nitrogen fixation, which extracts nitrogen from air, has been used for producing sodium nitrate. This synthetic process has greatly increased the availability of this useful sodium salt by ehminating the need for the natural source. It is used to preserve and cure meats and is used in photography, in pharmaceuticals, and as a color fixative in fabrics. [Pg.52]

Sodium is the sixth most abundant element on earth. It comprises about 2.6% weight of the earth s crust. Its salt, sodium chloride, is the major component of seawater. The concentration of sodium in seawater is 1.08%. As a very reactive element, sodium is never found in free elemental form. It occurs in nature in many minerals such as cryolite, amphibole, zeolite, sodalite, and soda niter. Sodium chloride (NaCl) is the most common salt of sodium. Some other important salts are caustic soda (NaOH), soda ash (Na2C03), baking soda (NaHCOs), Chile saltpeter (NaNOs), borax (Na2B407 IOH2O), sodium thiosulfate (Na2S203), sodium sulfate (Na2S04), and sodium phosphates. [Pg.846]

Some of the Atacama nitrate deposits are relatively pure sodium nitrate (nitratite or soda niter). This is the case with some near-surface veins in bedrock (Ericksen and Mrose, 1972) and with some caliche bianco. However, most of the deposits are impure and contain substantial amounts of other salts, including a range of sulphates, chlorides, nitrates, borates, iodates, perchlorate and chromates. Ericksen (1981), Pueyo et al. (1998) and Searl and Rankin (1993), provide a detailed list of such minerals (Table 12.1), although some of Searl and Rankin s identifications have been challenged by Ericksen (1994). One of the nitrate minerals, humberstonite, derives its name from Humberstone, one of the nitrate towns in the area (Mrose et al., 1970). Of the impurities, sodium chloride (halite) appears to be the most important and may often exceed the percentage of nitrate (see e.g., Penrose, 1910, p. 14). A detailed chemical analysis of the Maria Elena nitrate deposits is provided by Collao et al. (2002). They report (p. 181) ... [Pg.396]

Sodium nitrate, also known as Chile saltpeter and soda niter, has a molecular formula of NaN03 Sodium nitrate is a colorless, odorless, transparent crystal. It oxidizes when exposed to air and is soluble in water. This material explodes at lOOOT, much lower than temperatures encountered in many fires. Sodium lutrate is toxic by ingestion, and has caused cancer in test animals. When used in the curing of fish and meat products, it is restricted to 100 ppm. Sodium nitrate is incompatible with ammonium nitrate and other ammonium salts. The four-digit UN identification number is 1498. Sodium nitrate is used as an antidote for cyanide poisoiung and in the curing of fish and meat. [Pg.251]
