Sodium Thiosulfate
-
Sodium Thiosulfate has applications in oil well cementing and remediation of contaminated soils. As a cement retarder, Sodium Thiosulfate can slow down the rate of cement hydration and setting, allowing more time for placement and curing.
In contaminated soil remediation, Sodium Thiosulfate can be used to reduce the toxicity of heavy metals by complexing with them and forming stable, non-toxic compounds.
