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.
Successful disinfection with hypochlorite depends on the chlorine demand of the. water to be disinfected and the wastewater pH. When NaOCl is added to water, it dissociates to form hypochlorous acid (HOCl) and hypochlorite ion (OCl-), collectively known as free chlorine, with a pK value for this reaction of about 7.6.
