01. It is understood that Ethylene Oxide is used in few plants for controlling Thiosulfite in the Sodium Dithionite reaction mixture.
02. The product that forms inside the reactor due to reaction of Ethylene oxide with Sodium thiosulfite will start accumulating when the mother liquor of the reation mixture is recycled. Call this product as "SALT X"
03. What technolgy/technique is to be employed for removing the SALT X?
04. Suppose this salt is not removed and the mother liquor is recycled, what will happen to the Sodium Dithionite reaction?
The Manufacture is through "Formate " Route.
