Sodium metabisulfite is the crystallized powder of sulfur dioxide. In order to produce sodium metabisulfite, various methods have been provided.
This compound can be produced by evaporating sodium sulfite solution saturated with sulfur dioxide gas.
The newest method of producing sodium metabisulfite in the world is using the wet gas process.
In this process, due to the direct contact of the gas with the substrate and under special conditions, the highest efficiency is obtained in terms of quantity and quality.
