Iyo iyo sodium hydrosulfite iri mu kirere, iranywa umwuka w’ikirere bitagoranye maze igaca igira umwuka w’ikirere. Iranywa kandi ubukonje, igatuma haba ubushuhe kandi igatuma umuntu yononeka. Ishobora kwifatanya mu gihe inywa umwuka w’ikirere (oxygène) maze igatanga akamoto k’aside akaze cane.
Na2S2O4 + 2H2O + O2 → 2NaHSO4 + 2[H]
Gushusha canke gushirwa mu rubeya rwuguruye birashobora gutuma umuriro ugurumana, ubushuhe bwo gucana ubwabwo bukaba ari 250°C. Iyo umuntu akoranye n’amazi, arekura ubushuhe bwinshi cane be n’imyuka ishobora kwaka nk’iyitwa hydrogène na sulfure d’hydrogène, ivyo bikaba bituma umuntu agira umuriro mwinshi cane. Iyo iyo sodium hydrosulfite ifatanijwe n’ibintu bitera umwuka, amazi makeyi canke umuyaga utose, irashobora gutuma haba ubushuhe, igatanga umwotsi w’umuhondo, igasha canke mbere igaturika.
Kubera ko ikoreshwa mu buryo bwinshi cane, sodium hydrosulfite ni ngirakamaro mu guhindura ibara ry’impuzu n’impapuro, kandi ikoreshwa no mu kuzigama ibifungurwa. Itanga kandi ibikorwa vyiza cane mu gukora imiti, gusukura ibikoresho vy’ubuhinga bwa none, gukuraho ibara ry’amazi mabi, n’ibindi. Fyonda hano kugira uronke servisi nziza cane n'igiciro.
