  • Rate Constants for Reactions Between Iodine- and Chlorine-Containing Species: a Detailed Mechanism of the Chlorine Dioxide/Chlorite-Iodide Reaction†
    3708 J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1996, 118, 3708-3719 Rate Constants for Reactions between Iodine- and Chlorine-Containing Species: A Detailed Mechanism of the Chlorine Dioxide/Chlorite-Iodide Reaction† Istva´n Lengyel,‡ Jing Li, Kenneth Kustin,* and Irving R. Epstein Contribution from the Department of Chemistry and Center for Complex Systems, Brandeis UniVersity, Waltham, Massachusetts 02254-9110 ReceiVed NoVember 27, 1995X Abstract: The chlorite-iodide reaction is unusual because it is substrate-inhibited and autocatalytic. Because - analytically pure ClO2 ion is not easily prepared, it was generated in situ from the rapid reaction between ClO2 and I-. The resulting overall reaction is multiphasic, consisting of four separable parts. Sequentially, beginning with mixing, these parts are the (a) chlorine dioxide-iodide, (b) chlorine(III)-iodide, (c) chlorine(III)-iodine, and (d) hypoiodous and iodous acid disproportionation reactions. The overall reaction has been studied experimentally and by computer simulation by breaking it down into a set of kinetically active subsystems and three rapidly established - equilibria: protonations of chlorite and HOI and formation of I3 . The subsystems whose kinetics and stoichiometries were experimentally measured, remeasured, or which were previously experimentally measured include oxidation of - iodine(-1,0,+1,+3) by chlorine(0,+1,+3), oxidation of I by HIO2, and disproportionation of HOI and HIO2. The final mechanism and rate constants of the overall reaction and of its subsystems were determined by sensitivity analysis and parameter fitting of differential equation systems. Rate constants determined for simpler reactions were fixed in the more complex systems. A 13-step model with the three above-mentioned rapid equilibria fits the - -3 - -3 - - overall reaction and all of its subsystems over the range [I ]0 < 10 M, [ClO2 ]0 < 10 M, [I ]0/[ClO2 ]0 ) 3-5, pH ) 1-3.5, and 25 °C.

  • Risk Assessment Report Sodium Chlorite(The 3 Edition) (Food
    This is a provisional English translation of an excerpt from the original full report. Risk Assessment Report Sodium Chlorite(The 3rd edition) (Food Additive) Food Safety Commission of Japan (FSCJ) July 2009 Executive summary The Food Safety Commission of Japan (FSCJ) conducted a risk assessment of sodium chlorite (NaClO2) [CAS No. 7758-19-2], a food additive that is used as a bleaching agent and bacteriocide, using various test results. The test results used in the assessment are related to the repetitive dose toxicity, carcinogenicity, reproductive developmental toxicity, genotoxicity, etc. of sodium chlorite and other substances. When administered orally, sodium chlorite is assumed to convert to chlorous acid (HClO2) in gastric fluid. In - addition to chlorous acid (HClO2), substances such as chloride ion (Cl ), chlorine dioxide (ClO2), and chlorite - ion (ClO2 ) can also be produced by metabolism in the human body. Therefore, the toxicity of sodium chlorite was assessed mainly on the basis of safety data obtained for sodium chlorite, chlorite ion, and chlorine dioxide from various animal and human studies, with reference to findings related to hypochlorous acid solution and sodium hypochlorite (NaClO) as appropriate. According to the results of the safety studies for sodium chlorite and the like, the most commonly observed major effect of sodium chlorite intake was thought to be the damage to the red blood cells by oxidative stress. No carcinogenicity was observed. With regard to genotoxicity, a weak positive result was observed in a reverse mutation test using bacteria. Although a positive result was obtained in a chromosomal abnormality test using mammalian cell cultures, the result was negative as to a micronucleus test performed using a high dose.

The 18 petition before the National Organic Standards Board (NOSB) is to add ASC solution as an allowed 19 synthetic in organic livestock production (§ 205.603) for use as a disinfectant/sanitizer and topical 20 treatment (i.e., teat dip). 21 ASC solutions used as disinfectants and teat dip treatments in livestock production are analogous to those 22 used for secondary direct food processing and handling. However, the potential impacts to the 23 environment and human health resulting from ASC treatments of livestock necessitate consideration of the 24 aqueous chemistry of the parent substance and its breakdown products, and potential for toxic effects to 25 terrestrial organisms and humans potentially exposed to these substances. 26 Characterization of Petitioned Substance 27 28 Composition of the Substance: 29 The petitioned substance, acidified sodium chlorite (ASC) solution, is generated through the reaction of 30 any acid categorized as Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) by the FDA with an aqueous solution of 31 technical grade (~80% purity) sodium chlorite (NaClO2).

  • Product Stewardship Summary Sodium Chlorite
    Product Stewardship Summary Sodium Chlorite Summary Sodium chlorite is commercially available in two different physical forms, either as a dry flake material or as an aqueous solution. Unlike most chemicals, some of the hazards associated with this chemical may differ depending on the form of the product. Liquid sodium chlorite solutions are clear to slightly yellow in appearance and have a slight chlorine odor and are classified as corrosive. Dry sodium chlorite is a white flake product with a slight chlorine odor and is a strong oxidizer. Sodium chlorite, like many oxidizing agents, should be protected from inadvertent contamination by organic materials to avoid the formation of an explosive mixture. The primary application for sodium chlorite is the generation of chlorine dioxide for bleaching and stripping of textiles, pulp, and paper. Another important use is in the disinfection and purification of water. 1. Chemical Identity Name: Sodium Chlorite Synonyms: Chlorous Acid, Sodium Salt Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) number: 7758-19-2 2. Production Technical grade sodium chlorite is about 80% sodium chlorite, with the balance being a stabilizing material, usually sodium chloride. Sodium chlorite is derived indirectly from sodium chlorate, NaClO3. First, chlorine dioxide [ClO2] is produced by reducing sodium chlorate in a strong acid solution (e.g. hydrochloric acid (HCl)). The chlorine dioxide is then absorbed into an alkaline solution (NaOH) and reduced with hydrogen peroxide, H2O2, yielding 37% sodium chlorite. Page 1 of 4 3. Uses Sodium chlorite is used for a variety of applications. It is used as a disinfectant and purification chemical for water. It is also employed as a textile-bleaching and water anti-fouling agent.

  • Reregistration Eligibility Decision (RED) for Chlorine Dioxide and Sodium Chlorite (Case 4023) UNITED STATES ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY WASHINGTON, D.C
    United States Prevention, Pesticides EPA 738-R-06-007 Environmental Protection and Toxic Substances August 2006 Agency (7510P) Reregistration Eligibility Decision (RED) for Chlorine Dioxide and Sodium Chlorite (Case 4023) UNITED STATES ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY WASHINGTON, D.C. 20460 OFFICE OF PREVENTION, PESTICIDES AND TOXIC SUBSTANCES CERTIFIED MAIL Dear Registrant: This is to inform you that the Environmental Protection Agency (hereafter referred to as EPA or the Agency) has completed its review of the available data and public comments received related to the draft risk assessments for the antimicrobials, chlorine dioxide and sodium chlorite. The enclosed Reregistration Eligibility Decision (RED) document was approved on August 3, 2006. Public comments and additional data received were considered in this decision. Based on its review, EPA is now publishing its Reregistration Eligibility Decision (RED) and risk management decision for chlorine dioxide and sodium chlorite and the associated human health and environmental risks. A Notice of Availability will be published in the Federal Register announcing the publication of the RED. The RED and supporting risk assessments for chlorine dioxide are available to the public in EPA’s Pesticide Docket EPA-HQ-OPP-2006-0328 at: http://www.regulations.gov. The chlorine dioxide and sodium chlorite RED was developed through EPA’s public participation process, published in the Federal Register on April 26, 2006, which provides opportunities for public involvement in the Agency’s pesticide tolerance reassessment and reregistration programs. Developed in partnership with USDA and with input from EPA’s advisory committees and others, the public participation process encourages robust public involvement starting early and continuing throughout the pesticide risk assessment and risk mitigation decision-making process.
