Sodium chlorate (NaClO3) is a versatile inorganic compound characterized by its white to off-white crystalline appearance and strong oxidizing properties. This compound is highly soluble in water and serves critical roles across various industries, including manufacturing, agriculture, and environmental management. Sodium chlorate is predominantly utilized in the production of herbicides, explosives, and chlorine dioxide for water treatment, making it essential in paper and textile bleaching processes. While it boasts numerous applications, the handling of sodium chlorate requires stringent safety measures due to its potential toxicity and explosive reactions when mixed with combustible materials.
Recent advancements in production techniques emphasize efficiency and environmental stewardship, aligning with global trends toward safer chemical manufacturing. PS Chemical Consortium has pioneered innovative methods for synthesizing sodium chlorate, enhancing purity and minimizing hazardous byproducts. Through a combination of advanced electrolysis processes and the introduction of ion chelating agents, the Consortium aims to elevate the standard of sodium chlorate production, reflecting its commitment to sustainability and quality. As the market evolves, the focus will increasingly shift toward exploring new applications in renewable energy and eco-friendly disinfectants, securing sodium chlorate’s place as a pivotal chemical in contemporary and future industries.

Chiral Symmetry Breaking of Sodium Chlorate in a Taylor Vortex Flow
Cryst. Growth Des. 2024, 24, 3, 1042–1050 DOI: 10.1021/acs.cgd.3c01074
This study investigated the initial chiral symmetry breaking (CSB) of sodium chlorate in a Taylor vortex flow (TVF). The TVF was generated in the gap between two coaxial cylinders by rotating the inner cylinder of the Couette–Taylor (CT) crystallizer. Our findings demonstrated that this periodic fluid motion of TVF enabled highly asymmetric initial nucleation of enantiomeric crystals, leading to achieving up to 100% crystal enantiomeric excess (CEE) in the induction period.
Influence of magnetic field on growth kinetics of sodium chlorate crystals from aqueous solution
Journal of Crystal Growth, Volume 642, 15 September 2024, 127776 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcrysgro.2024.127776
The paper presents the results of research into the possible influence of an external magnetic field on the face growth rate kinetics of small sodium chlorate crystals grown from aqueous solution. Analysis of the supersaturation dependence of the mean linear growth rates for growth in zero and applied magnetic fields shows that the observed crystals in both cases were grown by a complex dislocation source.
