Sodium Hydrogen Sulphide (Sulfide) Solid
Sodium hydrogen sulfide is a yellow, solid flake with a sulfurous (rotten egg) smell. It is used in water treatment, the pulp and paper industry, and in leather processing as a tanning agent or hair remover (from hides). Sodium hydrogen sulfide may be used in the making of colors and dyes. It can also be used in the manufacture of other chemicals, metals or in ore processing (mining) and in waste water, soil and process sludge treatment.
Application
Sodium hydrogen sulfide is used in many industries; for example, it is used in waste water, soil and process sludge remediation (treatment), the pulp and paper industry, metals processing, and to purify flue (exhaust) gas and in leather production as a tanning agent or hair remover (from hides). It may be used in the making of colors and dyes or in the manufacture of other chemicals.
