Deoxidizer is a chemical commonly used in the fields of metal and water treatment, whose main function is to remove or reduce the oxygen content in solutions or media. The following are the main functions of deoxidizers:
Oxygen removal: Oxygen scavengers can react with oxygen to convert it into harmless compounds or remove it from the medium. This can avoid corrosion and oxidation of metal surfaces by oxygen, while also preventing interference of oxygen with certain chemical reactions.
Prevention of corrosion: Oxygen is one of the important factors leading to metal corrosion. The use of deoxidizers can effectively reduce the rate of metal corrosion in water or other media, and extend the service life of metal equipment.
Protecting the quality stability of the produced substance: Some chemical reactions or product manufacturing processes are sensitive to oxygen, and the presence of oxygen may lead to a decrease in the quality or performance of the produced substance. By using deoxidizers, the oxygen content can be reduced, ensuring the stability of the reaction or manufacturing process and the consistency of product quality.
Preventing oxidation reactions: Many organic substances, food, drugs, and cosmetics can undergo oxidation reactions in the presence of oxygen, leading to quality degradation or failure. The use of deoxidizers can reduce oxygen content, delay or prevent the occurrence of these oxidation reactions, thereby maintaining their stability and effectiveness.
Overall, the role of deoxidizers is to reduce or eliminate the adverse effects of oxygen on metals, chemical reactions, and product quality, and to improve the stability of the production process and product quality.
