Salts and Inorganics

Sodium sulfite is used in the photography industry to protect developing solutions from oxidation, in the pulp and paper industry, in water treatment as an oxygen scavenger agent, as a desulfurizing and dechlorinating agent in the leather industry and as a bleaching agent in textile industry.

Sodium oxalate is used as a reducing agent, as a primary standard for standardizing potassium permanganate solutions and as a neutralizer for exothermic acidic reactions. It finds application in metal cleaning preparations, metal extraction and separation, blueprint coatings, electroplating baths,...

Potash is used in black/brown patina (copper, brass, bronze). Its use include decorative color effects on copper, brass, bronze and nickel. Sulfurated potash has been used in the treatment of acne and other skin disorders usually in the form of a lotion with zinc sulfate.

Magnesium sulfate is suitable for sensitive molecular biology applications. It used as a component of bath salts and beauty product. It is utilized by the athletes to soothe sore muscles and effective in the removal of splinters.

Used as Portland-cement retarder; tile and plaster; It is the source of sulfur and sulfuric acid; Also used in polishing powder and paints, dyeing and calico printing. It is likewise employed in zinc metallurgy. It is employed in drying industrial gases, solids and many organic liquids.

As a primary standard for preparing volumetric alkali solutions and as a buffer in pH determinations. Potassium hydrogen phthalate is used as a primary standard for acid- base titrations as well as for calibrating pH meters. It acts as a buffer in pH determination.

Mortar, plasters, cements, gas manufacturing to remove ammonia, in lubricants, water softening, petrochemicals, soil conditioner, paving materialsCalcium hydroxide is used as a flocculant in water and sewage treatment.

Niobium pentoxide is the precursor to a majority of niobium compounds, powder metallurgy products, and alloys. It is also used in glass, optic and ceramic applications. The nanoparticles of niobium pentoxide are useful in the preparation of electrochemical capacitors and cathodes.

Cesium iodide is used as an input phosphor in x-ray image intensifier tube of fluoroscopy equipment. It is also used as an equipment for electromagnetic calorimetry in experimental particle physics. It is often employed as a beamsplitter in Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) spectrometers.

Sodium dihydrogen phosphate dihydrate acts as buffering capacity reagent in molecular biology, biochemistry and chromatography. It is used in the preparation of biological buffers. It is also used in the purification of antibodies, as a laxative and, in combination with other sodium phosphates This...

Potassium hydroxide acts as the precursor for most of the soft and liquid soaps, and for numerous potassium-containing chemicals. It is widely used in the manufacture of detergents, fertilizer, rayon, paper, dyestuffs, various drugs, drug intermediates, fine chemicals, and petroleum products.

Silver nitrate, 1.0N Standardized Solution is used for volumetric analysis in laboratories. It is widely used as an analytical reagent owing to its immediate reaction with halide ions forming insoluble precipitate of silver(I) halides.

Zinc chloride is used as a catalyst, dehydrating and condensing agent, soldering flux, and metal etchant. It is also employed in preserving anatomical specimens, wood preservatives, deodorant, disinfecting and embalming materials.

Sodium hydrogen carbonate is used as a laboratory chemical, a leavening agent, a neutralizer, as an active component in fire extinguishers, as a source of carbon dioxide and pH balancer in pools, as a cattle feed supplement and in spas and garden ponds.
