EP 2 062 477 A1 Printed by Jouve, 75001 PARIS (FR) EP 2 062 477 A1 Description TECHNICAL FIELD 5 [0001] The present invention relates to a process for producing an aqueous chlorous acid solution used for disinfection/ sterilization of food for pretreatment in food processing operations and related facilities. BACKGROUND ART 10 [0002] Conventionally, chlorine oxides (e.g., chlorine, hypochlorous acid, chlorous acid, and chlorine dioxide) are primarily used for disinfection or sterilization of food for pretreatment in food processing operations, such as fresh perishable food including vegetables and fruits, and the facilities related to processing and production of processed food, such as containers, preparation/cooking machinery, and plant equipment. Of these, chlorine and hypochlorous acid, when reacted with organic compounds, are known to produce trihalomethanes, which are carcinogenic compounds. 15 This, along with recent health-consciousness trend, has focused attention on acidified sodium chlorite (ASC) solution, which was developed in the United States of America and which possesses a high bactericidal effect and is less associated with trihalomethane-related adverse effects. Reference 1 : U.S.A. Patent No. 6,524,624 20 [0003] To produce the above-mentioned ASC solution, an aqueous chlorous acid solution is mixed with an acid known as "generally recognized as safe" (GRAS) and adjusted to pH 2.3 to 3.2. [0004] However, the main active component of the above-mentioned ASC solution, chlorous acid, decomposes a short time after preparation due to its low stability, thereby reducing its bactericidal potential. The above-mentioned ASC 25 solution, therefore, needs to be prepared immediately before use. [0005] This preparation procedure is not only inconvenient but also associated with the disadvantages resulting from production of chlorine dioxide gas, which is highly likely to have toxic effects on individuals who inhale it and corrosive effects on food-processing and cooking machinery and other related equipment. 30 DISCLOSURE OF INVENTION PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED BY INVENTION [0006] The present invention was made taking into account the above disadvantages. The purpose of the present 35 invention is to provide an easy-to-handle, long-acting, stable aqueous chlorous acid solution. Another purpose of the present invention is to provide a disinfectant for use in pretreatment of food-processing operations that releases a reduced amount of chlorine dioxide, is safe to human health, and possesses a high bactericidal activity.

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.

    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.
