Application


  • Sodium salt promoted the generation of nano zero valent iron by carbothermal reduction: For activating peroxydisulfate to degrade antibiotic.: This study investigates the role of sodium nitrate in enhancing the generation of nano zero-valent iron, a critical component for activating peroxydisulfate in antibiotic degradation processes, showcasing its potential in environmental remediation technologies (Xue C et al., 2024).

  • Fabricating Precise and Smooth Microgroove Structures on Zr-Based Metallic Glass Using Jet-ECM.: Although indirectly related, the inclusion of sodium nitrate in the electrolyte solution for jet electrochemical machining (ECM) demonstrates its utility in improving manufacturing processes for precision engineering (Li D et al., 2024).
