Deoxidizer is a chemical agent used to remove oxygen from water and prevent corrosion. Generally speaking, deoxidizers are usually composed of the following main components:
Oxalic acid or sulfite: These substances can react with oxygen as reducing agents to remove dissolved oxygen from water. Oxalic acid and sulfite are widely used because of their high solubility in water, low cost, and easy preparation.
Catalysts: Catalysts can accelerate the chemical reaction between oxygen and reducing agents and improve the efficiency of oxygen removal. Common catalysts include metals such as nickel, palladium, and copper.
Stabilizer: Stabilizers can stabilize the performance of deoxidizers and prevent their premature deactivation. Some commonly used stabilizers include phosphates, nitrates, etc.
It should be noted that the specific composition and formula of deoxidizers may vary depending on various factors such as application fields, water quality characteristics, environmental factors, regulatory limitations, etc. In practical application, appropriate deoxidizers should be selected based on the specific situation, and correctly added and used according to the manufacturer’s recommendations and instructions. In addition, the use of deoxidizers may also have a certain impact on water quality and the environment. Therefore, it is necessary to comply with relevant regulations and standards, and carry out appropriate treatment and disposal.
