Preparation of Methanesulfinic acid,hydroxy-, monosodium salt, dihydrate (8CI,9CI): Drop zinc dithionite solution into 40% formaldehyde, and heat it gradually. Add zinc dust when the temperature reach 95-100°C, and keep warm for several hours, then it will give precipitate. Add 42% NaOH solution to react with the precipitate until the free alkali content is about 0.3-0.5%. Defecate with filter pressing, and after a series of vacuum concentration and cooling crystallization, you can get the product.
