• Description: Sodium chlorite (NaClO2) is a white crystalline solid, being able to accelerate the burning of organic substances. It is used in paper manufacture, water purification bleaching wood pulp, textile, fats, and oils, as a disinfectant and in many other fields. In the organic synthesis, it can be frequently used for the oxidation of aldehydes to carboxylic acids. It can also be used to convert Alkyl furans to the 4-oxo-2-alkenoic acids. Moreover, the acidified sodium chlorite (mixture of sodium chlorite with acid such as citric acid) can be used for the sanitation of the hard surfaces as well as rinsing of many foods. In Army, it can be used to combating contaminants such as benigh microbes and food pathogens.
• Uses: Sodium chlorite is a kind of efficient bleacher and bactericide. It is used for bleaching of pulp and various fibers such as cotton, linen, mulberry, reed, viscose fiber and so on. It can also bleach sugar, flour, starch, ointment, wax, oil, etc. It is also used for leather depilation, surface treatment of certain metals, water purification, sewage treatment, etc. It can also be used to purify trace amounts of nitric oxide in coke oven gas. For improving taste and odor of potable water (as an oxidizing agent); bleaching agent for textiles, paper pulp, edible and inedible oils, shellacs, var- nishes, waxes and straw products; oxidizing agent; reagent. Sodium chlorite is used in the in situ generation of chlorine dioxide for stripping of textiles, bleaching, pulp and paper industries. It acts as a disinfectant in water treatment plant and as a preservative in eye drops. It is also used in contact lens cleaning solution and for sanitizing air ducts. It is associated with zinc chloride and used as a component in therapeutic rinses, toothpastes, mouth sprays and gels. It is utilized for the synthesis of 4-oxo-2-alkenoic acids from alkyl furans. Further, it is involved as a reagent in Pinnick oxidation reaction to prepare carboxylic acid from aldehydes. Sodium chlorite may be used in the synthesis of chlorine dioxide and as a hydroxylating agent for the hydroxylation of androstenedione (steroid).

Chlorination and oxidation products formed from 1,2,4-trimethylbenzene in aqueous solution under the action of chlorine dioxide

10.1134/S107042720707018X

The study investigates the reaction products of 1,2,4-trimethylbenzene (1,2,4-TMB) with chlorine dioxide (ClO2) in aqueous solution. The primary purpose of the study is to understand the transformation pathways of 1,2,4-TMB under the influence of ClO2, which is significant in the context of water disinfection and the reduction of secondary toxicants. Chemicals used include 1,2,4-TMB as the organic substrate, ClO2 as the oxidizing agent, sodium chlorite (used to prepare ClO2), hydrochloric acid (reacted with sodium chlorite to produce ClO2), and sodium thiosulfate (to deactivate excess ClO2). The study serves to explore the potential water pollutants' transformation in petrochemical-adjacent regions and to assess the effectiveness of ClO2 as a disinfectant, particularly in reducing the formation of toxic disinfection byproducts.
