Sulfites or sulphites are compounds that contain the sulfite ion SO 3 2â . The sulfite ion is the conjugate base of bisulfite. Although its acid (sulfurous acid) is elusive, its salts are widely used.Sulfites are substances that naturally occur in some foods and the human body.ulfites are used as a food preservative or enhancer. They may come in various forms, such as: 1  Sulfur dioxide, which is not a sulfite, but a closely related chemical oxide. 2  Potassium bisulfite or potassium metabisulfite.
Sodium Sulfite. Sodium Sulfite, Commercial, Anhydrous is an economical chemical for the sulfite pulping of wood in manufacturing various grades of paper. It is also a source for sodium sulfide used in Kraft pulping. Sodium Sulfite is oxidized to sodium sulfate and is used to remove oxygen from boiler feed water.It should be considered for applications in which oxygen dissolved in water may increase equipment corrosion, e.g. process cooling water in chemical and allied industries, and in oil well drilling equipment.odium Sulfite is oxidized to sodium sulfate and is used to remove oxygen from boiler feed water.
