Evaporator for sodium hypochlorite salts
Thread Content
May I ask, what are the risks associated with evaporation using an evaporator for sodium hypochlorite? Sodium hypochlorite should be fine after decomposing into sodium chloride and oxygen when heated. I’d like to hear the opinions of industry professionals.
Sodium hypochlorite is only stable in an alkaline environment; in acidic conditions it is very dangerous and cannot be subjected to evaporation crystallization. So, add a certain amount of base to your solution; sodium hydroxide is recommended, and then using an evaporator will work just fine.
