One step in the production of sugar from carbon dioxide involves a carbon nucleophile adding to the electrophilic carbon of carbon monoxide. The carbon nucleophile is created by the reaction of an enzyme called RuBisCo binding and activating a 5-carbon sugar molecule (ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate).
Oil and Water Separation. Hydramet specialises in water treatment solutions with a strong focus on chlorination, disinfection and chemical dosing for potable and wastewater treatment applications. Calcium hypochlorite is an effective alternative to sodium hypochlorite which is half to two-thirds cheaper.
The term âhypochloriteâ refers to the salts of hypochlorous acid (HOCl). Since the acid is extremely unstable, most users handle the more stable hypochlorite solutions instead. These salts are prepared in solution by reacting chlorine with a strong alkali, such as caustic soda, or an alkaline earth hydroxide. Sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) solution is commonly known as a household bleach. At stronger concentrations, it is used for bleaching paper pulp and textiles.
