of water and which proved to be successful. It demonstrated that Carbon dioxide was more
effective than chlorine in destroying algae, sulfides, phenols, irons and manganese.
This brought to the fore commercialization of chlorine dioxide for its many applications in water and
wastewater. To its advantage, it is inferred that sodium chlorite is not considered a volatile organic
compound (VOC) and is not a hazardous substance; hence its importance as an oxidation agent over
simple chlorine is not to be understated, behaving as an important driving factor for sodium chlorite
for metal surface treatment market.

Undesirable sulfide intrinsic gases and waste products are generated during petroleum refining, coal
coking, viscose rayon manufacture and natural gas purification which is treated with chlorine
dioxide observed generated from sodium chlorite. Nitrogen dioxides and nitrous oxides are
industrial effluents discharged as a result of fuel consumption and when nitrogen compounds are
used as catalysts in chemical operations. Sodium Chlorite or chlorine dioxide is used to clean these
contaminants. Nitric oxide discharges from coke kilns and is thus cleaned by a process of oxidation.
Similarly cyanide compounds originate from metal plating, steel case hardening, pickle liquor
neutralizing and gold and silver ore refining which are oxidized to cyanate or carbon dioxide and
nitrogen, all being less poisonous in nature. Phenols are yet another undesirable component of
water treatment and must be avoided at all costs. Phenols are witnessed in chemical, plastics, coke
and petroleum refining industries. If oxidized with chlorine, highly poisonous chlorophenols are
formed. Hence here too, sodium chlorite is the obvious choice thus adding to growth of sodium
chlorite in metal surface treatment application.
These chlorophenols give rise to taste and odor problems in drinking water. Segmentation of
sodium chlorite for metal surface treatment market by application outlook includes disinfectant,
antimicrobial agent, bleaching agent and others. By end-use, segmentation of sodium chlorite for
metal surface treatment includes water- treatment, paper, textile, medical and others. By
geographical region, segmentation of sodium chlorite for metal surface treatment includes North
America, Europe, Asia Pacific, MEA, and Latin America. The key players in sodium chlorite for metal
surface treatment market include Oxychem, DuPont, Shree Chlorates, Ercros and American
Elements.
