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.
Hydrochloric acid is sometimes added to the phosphoric acid based flux where molybdenum containing stainless steels such as 1.4401- 316 are being soldered. Hydrochloric acid based fluxes should however be avoided as corrosion can result to poorly cleaned joints, during service, after soldering.
