Trisodium Phosphate

One of the CAS numbers of trisodium phosphate is 7601-54-9, and the English is Trisodium phosphate. Trisodium phosphate can be regarded as the parent of phosphoric acid H3PO4, with 3 metal sodium atoms Na, all of which are contained in its molecular formula. After 3 hydrogen ions H+, the resulting product. Because phosphoric acid H3PO4 is a tribasic acid, its molecular formula has 3 hydrogen ions that can be replaced by metal elements.

【Physical Properties】

1. Colorless to white crystal or crystalline powder, anhydrous or crystal water containing 1-12 molecules, odorless. The melting point of dodecahydrate is 73.4°C. Easily soluble in water but insoluble in ethanol. The pH of a 1% aqueous solution is 11.5 to 12.1.

2. Colorless or white crystals. Soluble in water, its aqueous solution is strongly alkaline; insoluble in ethanol and carbon disulfide.

【Chemical properties】

1. It is easy to deliquescence and weathering in dry air to produce sodium dihydrogen phosphate and sodium bicarbonate. It is almost completely decomposed into disodium hydrogen phosphate and sodium hydroxide in water. It becomes decahydrate when heated to 55～65°C, becomes hexahydrate when heated to 60～100°C, and becomes monohydrate when heated above 100°C. It becomes anhydrous when heated above 212°C. The pH of a 1% aqueous solution is 11.5 to 12.1. Groundhog oral LD50>2g/kg, AD10～70mg/kg (FAO/WHO, 1994).

【Application field】

1. The quality improver can improve the complexed metal ions, pH value and ionic strength of the food, thereby improving the binding power and water holding capacity of the food. China stipulates that it can be used for cheese, with a larger amount of 5g/kg; in Western-style ham, meat, fish, shrimp and crab, the larger amount is 3.0g/kg; in canned food, juice, beverages and dairy products. It is 0.5g/kg.

2. Used as water softener and detergent in chemical, textile, printing and dyeing, papermaking, power generation and other industries, boiler antiscaling agent, water softener in paper dyeing, pH buffering agent in the production of adhesives for wax paper, printing and dyeing Fixing agent, mercerizing enhancer for fabrics, anti-brittle agent for thread production. Used in metallurgical industry for chemical degreasing and decontamination, and as an excellent accelerator in photographic developing solutions. Tooth cleaner and bottle detergent. Coagulant for rubber latex. Juice purifier. Phosphate plays a role in quality improvement in food processing. For example, in meat products, it can maintain the water retention of the meat and increase the binding force, so as to reduce the loss of nutrients in the meat and preserve the tenderness of the meat. It is also used as an emulsifier, nutritional supplement, and quality improver in food processing. It is the raw material for preparing alkaline water for noodles, and is also used for sugar refining and α-starch production. It is also used as a detergent for food bottles and cans.

3. Solid trisodium phosphate (TSP) is a strong alkali and weak acid salt, with strong alkalinity, high solubility, stable chemical properties, and can be stored for a long time. Add it to the spray water of the shell spray system (EAS) TSP replaces NaOH, can adjust the pH value of the spray liquid, effectively remove the iodine gas released from the leaked cooling water into the shell, avoid the damage of strong alkali to the staff, and facilitate the cleaning after the accident.
