- Product Name: Sodium Nitrate / Chile Saltpeter
- While melting gold, use to make a hybrid aqua regia that dissolves gold and other metals.
- Very soluble in water and is a readily available source of the nitrate anion (NO3−) as fertilizers in agricultures.
- Applicable to use for pyrotechnics and smoke bombs, glass and pottery enamels, food preservatives, and solid rocket propellant.
- Used together with potassium nitrate and calcium nitrate for heat storage and for heat transfer in solar power plants.
- A mixture of sodium nitrate, calcium nitrate and potassium nitrate is used as energy-storage material in prototype plants.
- It is also used in the wastewater industry for facultative microorganism respiration. Nitrosomonas, a genus of microorganisms, consumes nitrate in preference to oxygen, enabling it to grow more rapidly in the wastewater to be treated.
- Used by marine aquarists who utilize carbon-dosing techniques. It is used to increase nitrate levels in the water and promote bacterial growth
