About Sodium Nitrate. Sodium Nitrate is a white granular powder found in naturally occurring deposits, mainly in Chile, but also produced synthetically. Historically, it was used as a natural fertilizer and for explosives production. Chilean Nitrate is soluble in water and slightly soluble in oxygenated solvents. It is not combustible, but it enhances the combustion of other substances if present.
Raw materials and the respective production processes employed in the manufacturing of Sodium Nitrate are listed below.
- Caliche ore (ore extraction/mineral beneficiation),
- Sodium carbonate/sodium hydroxide + nitric acid (salt formation),
- Sodium nitrite + nitric acid (salt formation)
Sodium Nitrate is used in aluminium etchants; as fertilizer; as clarifying agent for glass, enemal and pottery production; in preservative and color fixative for cured meat and fish; as well as tobacco burning aid.
