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.
Chlorine Chemistry. Chlorine is the predominant method of disinfecting water and wastewater and has been used for almost 100 years in the United States. Chlorine can be added to water as chlorine gas, an aqueous sodium hypochlorite solution, or solid calcium hypochlorite. When chlorine is added to water in any of these forms, it creates hypochlorous acid.
