APPLICATIONS
Sodium pyrophosphate is used as a buffering agent, an emulsifier, a dispersing agent, and a thickening agent, and is often used as a food additive.
Common foods containing Sodium pyrophosphate include chicken nuggets, marshmallows, pudding, crab meat, imitation crab, canned tuna, and soy-based meat alternatives and cat foods and cat treats where it is used as a palatability enhancer.
In toothpaste and dental floss, Sodium pyrophosphatee acts as a tartar control agent, serving to remove calcium and magnesium from saliva and thus preventing them from being deposited on teeth.
Sodium pyrophosphate is used in commercial dental rinses before brushing to aid in plaque reduction.
Sodium pyrophosphate is sometimes used in household detergents to prevent similar deposition on clothing, but due to its phosphate content it causes eutrophication of water, promoting algae growth.
Further, Sodium pyrophosphate can be used as an inorganic additive to improve the stability and electrochemical performance of redox flow batteries.

Sodium pyrophosphate is an odorless, white powder or granular solid.
Further, Sodium pyrophosphate is used in household and industrial cleaning compounds, as a water softener, metal cleaner and food additive, and for oil well drilling.
Chemical formula of Sodium pyrophosphate is Na4P2O7 * 10 H2O.
The aqueous solution of Sodium pyrophosphate is alkaline and easily soluble in water.
The pH of the 1% solution of Sodium pyrophosphate ranges from 10 to 11.
Production and Reactions of Sodium pyrophosphate:
Sodium pyrophosphate is a sodium salt and is derived from its carbonate and phosphates, such as tkpp.
Usage areas of Sodium pyrophosphate:
Food:
As a source of phosphorus, Sodium pyrophosphate is an emulsifier which is used for the binding of soybean particles and protein water connection.
Further, Sodium pyrophosphate is also used as a thickener in ready puddings.
Textile:
Sodium pyrophosphate is used as an inorganic stabilizer in textile.
Detergent:
As a water softener for detergents, Sodium pyrophosphate can be used as an emulsifier to suspend the oils and to prevent their sedimentation on the laundry in the wash.
Chemistry:
Sodium pyrophosphate is used as ph value adjuster in chemical industry.
Tooth paste:
Since Sodium pyrophosphate removes Ca and Mg ions from saliva, Sodium pyrophosphate does not stay on the teeth so Sodium pyrophosphate is used as buffer in toothpastes.
Sodium pyrophosphate is used in the following products:
pH regulators and water treatment products
Water softeners
Cosmetics and personal care products
Coating products and fillers
Putties
Plasters
Modelling clay.
Release to the environment of Sodium pyrophosphate can occur from industrial use: formulation of mixtures, in the production of articles and in processing aids at industrial sites.
Other release to the environment of Sodium pyrophosphate is likely to occur from: indoor use (e.g. machine wash liquids/detergents, automotive care products, paints and coating or adhesives, fragrances and air fresheners) and outdoor use.
Sodium pyrophosphate can be used as:
Emulsifier
Buffering agent
Emulsifying agent
Sequestrant
DESCRIPTION
Sodium pyrophosphate is an inorganic compound with the formula Na4P2O7.
As a salt, Sodium pyrophosphate is a white, water-soluble solid.
Sodium pyrophosphate is composed of pyrophosphate anion and sodium ions.
Toxicity is approximately twice that of table salt when ingested orally.
Sodium pyrophosphate is produced by the reaction of furnace-grade phosphoric acid with sodium carbonate to form disodium phosphate, which is then heated to 450 °C to form tetrasodium pyrophosphate:
2 Na2HPO4 → Na4P2O7 + H2O
Sodium pyrophosphate is a non-toxic and biocompatible compound used as an electroactive media for exfoliation of the surface coating.
Furthermore, Sodium pyrophosphate is also be used as an additive in the food industry.
Sodium pyrophosphate appears as odorless, white powder or granules. mp: 995 °C.
Some properties of Sodium pyrophosphate:
Density: 2.53 g/cm3
Solubility in water: 3.16 g/100 mL (cold water); 40.26 g/100 mL boiling water.
Sodium pyrophosphate can be used as a wool de-fatting agent, in bleaching operations, as a food additive.
Beside that,Sodium pyrophosphate (Na4P2O7*10H2O) occurs as colorless transparent crystals.
Sodium pyrophosphate loses its water when heated to 93.8 °C.
Sodium pyrophosphate is an inorganic sodium salt comprised of a diphosphate(4-) anion and four sodium(1+) cations.
More commonly known as tetrasodium pyrophosphate, Sodium pyrophosphate finds much use in the food industry as an emulsifier and in dental hygiene as a calcium-chelating salt.
Sodium pyrophosphate has a role as a food emulsifier, a chelator and a food thickening agent.
Sodium pyrophosphate contains a diphosphate(4-).
Sodium pyrophosphate also called, disodium pyrophosphate or DSPP (sc-251047) is used in the Further, Sodium pyrophosphate has been used as a chelating agent in antimicrobial studies. Sodium Sodium pyrophosphate has shown to be useful in the preparation of an EDTA-sodium pyrophosphate extraction buffer for microcystin analysis of soil samples.
