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.
Hypochlorite solution gradually releases chlorine into water. Hypochlorite anion,ClO-, changes the oxidation-reduction potential of the cell, and resulting in the inactivations of the micro-organism's function. Calcium Hypochlorite quickly forms hypochlorous acid (the killing form of chlorine) in water. It is used in water treatment as a general biocide. Calcium hypochlorite is used by many paper conservationists to bleach archival papers, and it is used as an oxidizing agent to reduce the effects of foxing.
