Sodium chlorate
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sodium chlorate is an inorganic compound with the chemical
formula NaCIO,, It is a white crystalline powder that is readily
soluble in water. It is hygroscopic. It decomposes above 300 °C to
release oxygen“! and leave sodium chloride. Several hundred million
tons are produced annually, mainly for applications in bleaching
paper!)

Synthesis
Industrially, sodium chlorate is produced by the electrolysis ofa hot
sodium chloride solution!*!
NaCl+ 3 H,0 > NaClO; +3 Hy:
This reaction progresses in heat (at least 70 degrees Celsius), and
controlled pH. In lower temperature or with high pH another reaction
progresses: 2 NaCl + HO — NaClO + NaCl Hy
‘The Chloralkali process is an industrial process for the electrolytic
production of sodium hydroxide and chlorine.
It can ako be synthesized by passing chlorine gas through a solution
of sodium hydroxide. It is then purified by crystallization,

‘The main commercial use for sodium chlorate is for making chlorine
dioxide (C103). The largest application of C1IOy, which accounts for
about 95% of the use of chlorate, is in bleaching of pulp. All
perchlorate compounds are produced industrially by the oxidation of
solutions of sodium chlorate by electrolysis.{“1
Herbicides
Sodium chlorate is used as a non-selective herbicide. It is considered
phytotoxic to all green plant parts. It can ako kill through root,
absorption,
Sodium chlorate may be used to control a variety of plants including
‘morning glory, canada thst, johnson grass, bamboo, Ragwort, and
St John's wort. The herbicide is mainly used on non-crop land for
spot treatment and for total vegetation control on areas inchuding,
roadsides, fenceways, and ditches. Sodium chlorate is also used as a
defoliant and desiceant for:
= Cotton = Grain sorghum
= Safflower = Southem peas
= Com = Dry beans
= Flax = Rice
= Peppers = Sunflowers
= Soybeans
Ifused in combination with atrazine, it increases the persistence of
the effect. Ifused in combination with 2,4-D, performance is
improved. Sodium chlorate has a soil sterlant effect. Mixing with
other herbicides in aqueous solution is possible to some extent, so
Jong as they are not susceptible to oxidation,
Chemical oxygen generation
Chemical oxygen generators, such as those in commercial aircraft,
provide emergency oxygen to passengers to protect them fom drops
in cabin pressure. Oxygen is generated by high temperature
decomposition of sodium chlorate. Heat is generated by oxidation of
a small amount of iron powder mixed with the sodium chlorate, and
the reaction consumes less oxygen than is produced. Barium
peroxide (BaO) is used to absorb the chlorine which is a minor
product in the decomposition.{7] An ignitor charge is activated by
pulling on the emergency mask. Similarly, the Solidox welding system
used pellets of sodium chlorate mixed with combustible fibers to
generate oxygen.

Due to its oxidative nature, sodium chlorate can be very toxic if
ingested. The oxidative effect on hemoglobin leads to
methaemoglobin formation, which is followed by denaturation of the
globin protein and a cross-linking of erythrocyte membrane proteins
with resultant damage to the membrane enzymes. This leads to
increased permeability of the membrane, and severe hemolysis. The
denaturation of hemoglobin overwhelms the capacity of the G6PD
metabolic pathway. In addition, this enzyme is directly denatured by
chlorate reducing its activity.
‘Therapy with ascorbic acid and methylene blue are frequently used in
the treatment of methemoglobinemia. However, since methylene blue
requires the presence of NADPH that requires normal fimctioning of
GGPD system, itis less effective than in other conditions
characterized by hemoglobin oxidation,
‘Acute severe hemolysis results, with multi-organ fire, inckuding
DIC and renal failure. In addition there is a direct toxicity to the
proximal renal tubule.'S! The treatment will consist of exchange
transfusion, peritoneal dialysis or hemodialysis.!°1
Formulations
Sodium chlorate comes in dust, spray and granule formulations,
There is a risk of fire and explosion in dry mixtures with other
substances, especially organic materials, and other herbicides, sulfur,
phosphorus, powdered metals, and strong acids. In particular, when
mixed with sugar, it has explosive properties. accidentally mixed
with one ofthese substances it should not be stored in dwellings.!"®
Marketed formulations contain a fire retardant, but this has litle effect
iftdelberately ignited. Most commercially available chlorate
weedkillers contain approximately 53% sodium chlorate with the
balance being a fire depressant such as sodium metaborate or
ammonium phosphates.
Trade names
Sodium chlorate is the active ingredient in a variety of commercial
herbicides. Some trade names for products containing sodium
chlorate include Atlacide, Defol, De-Fol-Ate, Drop-Leaf, Fall,
Harvest-Aid, Kusatol, Leafex, and Tumbleaf. The compound may be
used in combination with other herbicides such as atrazine, 2,4-D,
bromacil, diuron, and sodium metaborate
Sodium chlorate was an extensively used weedkiller within the EU,
up until 2009 when it was withdrawn after a decision made under
terms of EU Regulations. Its use as an herbicide outside the EU
