What is Sodium Bisulphate?
Sodium Bisulphate (NaHSO₄), also known as sodium hydrogen sulfate, is a dry, granular acid salt used primarily as a pH reducer. It dissolves easily in water, creating a mildly acidic solution ideal for numerous applications across various industries. Its non-volatile nature and ease of handling make it a popular alternative to liquid acids.
Common Applications
- Water Treatment: Used to lower pH levels in swimming pools and industrial water systems.
- Cleaning Products: Serves as an acidifier in household and institutional cleaning agents.
- Food Industry: Functions as a food additive (E514) for acidity control and preservation.
- Textile Processing: Helps adjust pH during dyeing and finishing operations.
- Metal Treatment: Applied in pickling and surface preparation processes.
- Pulp & Paper Industry: Used in pH adjustment during paper manufacturing.
- Agriculture: Added to animal feed and fertilizers for pH balancing.
