Description

The value of n ranges from 3 to 10 (cyclic molecules) or may be a much larger number (polymers). Cyclic sodium metaphosphate, based on rings of alter- nating phosphorus and oxygen atoms, range from the trimetaphosphate (Na PO 3 ) 3 to at least the decametaphosphate. So-called sodium hexam- etaphosphate is probably a polymer where n is between 10 and 20 (“Calgon”).

SRP: At the time of review, criteria for land treatment or burial (sanitary landfill) disposal practices are subject to significant revision. Prior to implementing land disposal of waste residue (including waste sludge), consult with environmental regulatory agencies for guidance on acceptable disposal practices.

Sodium metaphosphate is generally recognized as safe when used in accordance with good manufacturing practice.

Drug Information

... The risk of precipitating calcium phosphate salts in soft tissues throughout the body is of concern. /Oral sodium phosphate/

...LITTLE, IF ANY, CYCLIC METAPHOSPHATE IS ABSORBED THRU INTESTINAL WALL WHEN ADMIN ORALLY. METAPHOSPHATES MUST FIRST BE HYDROLYZED TO TRIPOLYPHOSPHATE & NEXT TO ORTHOPHOSPHATE, WHICH THEN CAN BE ABSORBED.

.../SODIUM/ SALTS, SUCH AS METAPHOSPHATES, ARE TOXIC PROBABLY BECAUSE OF THEIR EXCESS ALKALINITY RATHER THAN FROM SIMPLE SODIUM EXCESS. /SODIUM METAPHOSPHATES/

Sodium phosphate (NaPO3) Use and Manufacturing

Methods of Manufacturing

Dehydration of sodium phosphates (e.g. Na2H2P2O7, NaH2PO4, Na2HPO4). Upon heating NaH2PO4 or NaNH4HPO4 to 250 °C and then slowly to 350 °C, first Na2H2P2O7 and then the insol Maddrell's salt is obtained, which is stable to about 500 °C; at 505 deg it changes to sodium trimetaphosphate, and above 607 °C to sodium hexametaphosphate. According to Maddrell, Ann. 61, 63 (1847) the salt may be prepd by heating two parts NaNO3 with one part H3PO4. An improved procedure is described by v. Knorre, Z. Anorg. Chem. 24, 397 (1900). /Maddrell's salt (polymeric sodium metaphosphate)/|Prepd by rapidly chilling molten sodium metaphosphate. /Glassy sodium metaphosphate; Graham's salt/

Uses

The value of n ranges from 3 to 10 (cyclic molecules) or may be much larger number (polymer). The vitreous sodium phosphates having N2O/P2O5 mole ratios near unity are classified as sodium metaphosphates (Graham's salts). The average number of of phosphorus atoms per molecule in these glasses ranges from 25 to infinity.|The term sodium metaphosphate has also been extended to short-chain vitreous compositions, the molecules of which exhibit the polyphosphate formula Na(n+2)PnO(3n+1) with n as low as 4-5. These materials are more correctly called sodium pyrophosphates.|While sometimes called "sodium hexametaphosphate", it is a mixture of polymeric metaphosphates; not a hexamer. /Glassy sodium metaphosphate; Graham's salt/
