 041. Sodium sulfite (FAO Nutrition Meetings Report Series 40abc)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Description Sodium hydrogen sulfite is a white crystalline or granular solid with an odour of sulfur dioxide.
Small amounts of sulfite are regularly formed in the intermediary metabolism of the body in the catabolism of cystine by the non-enzymatic decomposition of 8-sulfinyl pyruvic acid to pyruvic acid and SO The stationary concentration of sulfite in the cells is too small to be measured.
Effect on thiamine Treatment of foods with sulfites reduced their thiamine content (Morgan et al., 1935; Williams et al,, 1935), It has been suggested that the ingestion of SO in a beverage may effectively reduce the level of thiamine in the rest of the diet (Hötzel, 1962).

 Sodium sulfite - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In chemistry, sodium sulfite is a soluble compound of sodium.
It is also used as a preservative to prevent dried fruit from discoloring, and for preserving meats, and is used in the same way as sodium thiosulfate to convert elemental halides to their respective acids, in photography and for reducing chlorine levels in pools.

Sodium sulfite is commonly used industrially, for example in processes such as paper making, dyeing, bleaching, photographic development, and engraving.
Sulfites and other chemical pollutants, including sulfates, nitrates, ammonia, and heavy metals, produce direct chemical demands on oxygen in the water due to the oxidation-reduction reactions that result.
However, when sodium sulfite is the scavenger of choice, the sodium sulfate produced forms a soft sludge that can foul heat transfer surfaces or otherwise damage equipment.

 Large format photography Forum: 6% sodium sulfite ???
More sodium sulfite adds some solvent effect but Rodinal-developed negs will still be grainier and have higher acutance (but less fine detail) than negs developed in a "standard" developer such as D-76 1:1.
Sodium Sulphite dissolves very easily in warm water, and you'll have no trouble mixing it.
Just to be perfectly clear: The 6% solution of Sulphite is with respect to working strength Rodinal, after it's been diluted 1:25 or 1:50, not 6% Sulphite added to the concentrate.
Adding the sulfite is generally more to gain some speed (the sulfite has some solvent action which makes it easier for the developer to access some of the latent image speecks).

 Sulfite Strategy
Foods that sometimes contain sulfites in lesser amounts are mashed potatoes made from dry powder, pickles in a jar, shrimp, cookies, crackers, beet sugar, and pie dough.
If one's sulfite level is greater than 10 ppm, they probably have a sulfite problem, in which case, it is recommended that they discuss this with a Doc that is familiar with Sulfites.
Another approach is an Rx sulfite sensitivity test where one ingests 5mg, 25mg, 50mg, and then 100mg of sulfite in pill from; and waits to see if they can tolerate the dose, before going to the next dose, since a large dose can be harmful to one that is sensitive to sulfites.

Sodium carbonate is a superior scrubbing agent for removing SO from combustion gases, but the resulting sodium sulfate (or sulfite) must be recovered for environmental reasons.
Liquid/liquid equilibrium data were determined for two-phase mixtures containing aqueous solutions of sodium carbonate, sulfate, or sulfite and a polar organic solvent: acetone, 2-propanol, and 2-methylpropan-2-ol (i.e., tert-butyl alcohol).
The data show that any one of these solvents can be used to extract water from a concentrated solutions of either sodium sulfite or sodium sulfate in a countercurrent extractor at 35C, causing the anhydrous salt to crystallize.
