SODIUM CHLORITE is self-reactive. The trihydrate crystals of sodium chlorite explode on percussion. Sodium chlorite reacts with acids to form spontaneously explosive chlorine dioxide gas (ClO2).

2021年9月2日 · Combustible materials, including cardboard sheets and polypropylene fabric, became contaminated with solid sodium chlorite. Subsequently, a spark, initiated by inadvertently striking metal drum sealing rings together, ignited the oxidizer-contaminated combustible materials. The fire spread to a polypropylene bag containing 800 kg of sodium ...

Sodium chlorite, like many oxidizing agents, should be protected from inadvertent contamination by organic materials to avoid the formation of an explosive mixture. The chemical is stable in pure form and does not explode on percussive impact, unless organic contaminants are present, such as on a greasy hammer striking the chemical on an anvil ...

The trihydrate crystals of sodium chlorite explode on percussion. Sodium chlorite reacts with acids to form spontaneously explosive chlorine dioxide gas (ClO2). If heated above 347°F, the reaction yields enough heat to become self-sustaining, [Mellor 2 Supp. 1:573 1956].

The mixing of 3 m# of sodium chlorite (C.A.S. No: 7758-19-2) in a 30 m# vessel holding ferric chloride (C.A.S..No: 7705-08-0) (acidic) caused the explosion, since sodium chlorite can decompose explosively in an acidic environment. The substances generated are toxic (chlorine (C.A.S. No: 7782-50-5), hydrochloric acid (C.A.S. No: 7647-01-0)).

1993年3月22日 · The material safety data sheet describes sodium chlorite as a strong oxidizer. Therefore, care must be taken to ensure that friction or contamination with incompatible materials does not occur. Typically, sodium chlorite is sold as technical grade with an assay of 79-81%.

Sodium chlorite in its dry form is a strong oxidizer. An oxidizer is a compound that initiates or promotes combustion in other materials. This means that if sodium chlorite comes into contact with combustible materials, it can react rapidly and ignite. However, sodium chlorite will not normally burn by itself.

FIRE & EXPLOSION: Not combustible but enhances combustion of other substances. Gives off irritating or toxic fumes (or gases) in a fire. Risk of fire and explosion on contact with reducing agents or organic materials. NO contact with combustible substances or reducing agents. Use water in large amounts, water spray. NO carbon dioxide.

2019年11月20日 · Dry sodium chlorite can be explosive in contact with chlorine, acids or acid materials such as alum. Contamination by these materials may start a chemical reaction, causing generation of heat and emission of chlorine dioxide, a poisonous and potentially explosive gas. Do not get in eyes, on skin or on clothing. Do not taste or swallow.

Dylan Mitchell was killed in the explosion and fire, while Jason Speegle suffered severe burns. Upon investigation, the sodium chlorite product, manufactured by Dongying Shengya and sold to wholesaler Access, had a defective warning label.
