Sodium Borohydride - Applications



Sodium Borohydride is commonly used in the production of Sodium Dithionite (Sodium Hydrosulphite) from Sulphur Dioxide. Sodium dithionite as well as a good reducing agent for the reduction of aromatic nitro and diazonium compounds to anilines it is also used as a bleaching agent in both the wood pulp and dyeing industries.

Sodium Borohydride reduces aldehydes and ketones to give the related alcohols. These reducing properties are used in the pharmaceuatical industry for the production of various antibiotics including Chloramphenicol, Dihydrostreptomycin, and Thiophenicol. It is also used in various stagea for the production of steroids and vitamin A.

Sodium borohydride is used as reducing agent in the synthesis of gold nanoparticles. This process can be seen below:
500 mL Milli-Q H2O + 1 mL of 10-1 M HAuCl4 + 0.05 g NaBH4 ==> 0.2 mM AuNPs

Sodium Borohydride has been used in earlier stages of development as a solid state hydrogen storage source.
