and organic phosphorus pesticides. It can be used as a stabilizer for polycarbonate, an antioxidant in the production of nylon 1010, and also in the production of high-efficiency water

treatment agent ATMP. Crystalline hypophosphite has a high demand in markets such as the United States and Western Europe, and has broad market development prospects.

4.Sodium Hypophosphate

1. Physical and chemical properties

Sodium hypophosphite (NaH2PO2), with a molecular weight of 87.98, is an inorganic compound commonly found as a monohydrate. It is a colorless monoclinic crystal or a pearl like

crystal or white crystalline powder. The relative density is 1.388. Odorless and salty in taste. Easy to dissolve in water, ethanol, and glycerol; Slightly soluble in ammonia and ammonia

water; Insoluble in ether. The aqueous solution is neutral and has a solubility of 667g/lOOg water at 100 ℃. Easily deliquescent. When stored in a dry state, it is relatively stable, but when

heated above 200 ℃, it rapidly decomposes and releases toxic phosphine gas that can self ignite. When exposed to strong heat, it will explode, and when mixed with potassium chlorate

or other oxidants, it will explode. Sodium hypophosphite is a strong reducing agent that can reduce salts of gold, silver, mercury, nickel, chromium, cobalt, etc. to metallic states. Under

normal pressure, heating and evaporating sodium hypophosphite solution will cause an explosion, so evaporation should be carried out under reduced pressure.


2. Synthesis process

Sodium hypophosphite is produced by reacting yellow phosphorus with a mixture of sodium hydroxide and calcium hydroxide. The reaction product is filtered to remove calcium

hypophosphite, and then carbon dioxide is used to remove calcium ions. It is concentrated and crystallized by vacuum evaporation, and the crystals are dried to remove free water to

obtain the sodium hypophosphite monohydrate crystalline product.


3. Product Usage

Sodium hypophosphite, also known as sodium hypophosphite, has strong reducibility and is mainly used as a reducing agent for electroless nickel plating, non-metallic surface treatment

agents for plastics, glass, quartz, etc. It is also widely used in industrial anti-corrosion, water treatment, fabric finishing and other fields. Its application areas are constantly expanding and it

has become an important fine inorganic salt product.

5.Calcium hypochlorite

1. Physical and chemical properties

Molecular formula of calcium hypochlorite: Ca (ClO) 2; Molecular weight: 142.98; Appearance: White powder; Melting point: 100 ℃; Density: 2.35g/cm3; Refractive index: 1.545; Solubility:

soluble in water, insoluble in ethanol. Calcium hypochlorite is a strong oxidant that can cause combustion and explosion when exposed to water or humid air, and can also cause explosions

when mixed with alkaline substances. There is a risk of combustion when in contact with organic matter and oil. Heating can cause rapid decomposition and explosion, releasing chlorine

gas when reacting with acid. Exposure to light can also cause explosion and decomposition, producing oxygen and irritating chlorine gas.


2. Synthesis process

There are two methods for preparing calcium hypochlorite: the calcium method and the sodium method. The traditional calcium method for producing calcium hypochlorite has outdated

technology and is produced by injecting a large amount of chlorine gas into lime water. However, there are technical problems such as high consumption of hazardous chlorine gas, high

labor costs, low calcium hypochlorite content, and fast loss. Therefore, the sodium method is mainly used for the preparation of calcium hypochlorite.


This process adopts a three-step chlorination mother liquor circulation high-efficiency salt separation method. One step of chlorination is used to prepare sodium hypochlorite solution,

two steps of chlorination are used to prepare basic calcium hypochlorite, and three steps of chlorination are used to prepare calcium hypochlorite. Then, the calcium hypochlorite is salt

separated and flash dried to obtain calcium hypochlorite product. The washed salt is dried to obtain sodium chloride product. The two-step chlorination mother liquor is circulated inside

the two-step chlorination reaction after alkali causticization, while the three-step chlorination mother liquor is returned to one-step chlorination, two-step chlorination, and three-step

chlorination to adjust the solid-liquid ratio of the three reaction systems.


3. Product Usage

Calcium hypochlorite, also known as bleaching powder, is an efficient inorganic disinfectant. Its active ingredient is calcium hypochlorite, and its effective chlorine is generally above 65%.

It has bleaching, sterilizing, disinfecting, and oxidizing effects. Compared to other disinfectants, bleach powder has a high effective chlorine content, good stability, long storage time,

minimal loss of effective chlorine content, and convenient transportation. It is widely used in industrial wastewater and drinking water treatment, swimming pool disinfection, bleaching of
