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 solid phase (calcium hypochlorite) is less corrosive than liquid bleach (sodium hypochlorite) and will cause less damage to the produce and equipment. The disadvantage of the solid is that it is less stable at normal storage conditions. All types of chlorine will form hypochlorous acid (HClO) when added to water.
