Solvay® Sodium Bicarbonate Solvay® sodium bicarbonate A thousand opportunities to serve you www.solvay.com A thousand opportunities to serve you In 1863, Ernest Solvay discovered a new process for manufacturing sodium carbonate using sea salt, ammonia and carbonic acid. This process produced a sodium bicarbonate of high purity, which is used today in many fields: food, detergents, health and remediation. Over time, the group has grown and now Solvay, with a presence in 55 countries on five continents, is the world leader in sodium carbonate and bicarbonate with manufacturing plants in the United States and Europe. Throughout this brochure, you will discover the amazing properties of Solvay bicarbonate and the numerous services this miraculous product can offer you every day. Happy reading!

  • The Effect of Calcium Carbonate and Sodium Bicarbonate on the Toxicity of Gossypol»
    THE EFFECT OF CALCIUM CARBONATE AND SODIUM BICARBONATE ON THE TOXICITY OF GOSSYPOL» By WILLIS D. GALLUP, assistant chemist, and RUTH REDER, associate chemist, Department of Agricultural Chemistry Research, Oklahoma Agricultural Experi- ment Station INTRODUCTION In a previous study of the influence of certain dietary constituents on the response of rats to gossypol ingestion {2) ^ the authors showed that the toxicity of diets containing known amounts of gossypol was materially reduced when the diets were made basic by the addition of calcium carbonate and sodium bicarbonate. When the diets were made acidic by the addition of calcium chloride, only indirect evidence of a slight decrease in toxicity was obtained. Decreased toxicity was observed also when the protein content of the diet was increased from 13 percent to 35 percent. The conclusion was drawn that diets of high protein content and basic diets of high calcium content are favorable to the detoxication of gossypol. Considerable importance is attached to the results since calcium and protein are variable ingredients in diets used for the bio-assay of gossypol. The importance of these constituents in feeding cottonseed products to livestock has not been fully determined, although the value of supplementary protein in cottonseed-meal rations for pigs has recently been pointed out by Robison (5). In view of the favorable results obtained with sodium bicarbonate and calcium carbonate, it was deemed desirable to determine the pro- portion of these salts which would offer the greatest degree of pro- tection against gossypol injury and to determine the value of each salt in the presence of moderate amounts of thç other, as the principal elements of both are requisite for a normal nutritive condition.

Fossil fuel power plants, especially coal-fired thermal power plants, are a major source of carbon dioxide emission. In this work, carbon capture and utilization using sodium hydroxide was studied experimentally. Application for flue gas of a coal-fired power plant is considered. Carbon dioxide, reacting with an aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide, could be converted to sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3). A bench-scale unit of a reactor system was designed for this experiment. The capture scale of the reactor system was 2 kg of carbon dioxide per day. The detailed operational condition could be determined. The purity of produced sodium bicarbonate was above 97% and the absorption rate of CO2 was above 95% through the experiment using this reactor system. The results obtained in this experiment contain useful information for the construction and operation of a commercial-scale plant. Through this experiment, the possibility of carbon capture for coal power plants using sodium hydroxide could be confirmed. Keywords: Carbon Capture, Carbon Utilization, Sodium Bicarbonate 1.

  • Acids and Bases Experiments (Organic Classes)
    Acids and Bases Experiments (Organic Classes) NaHCO3 (sodium bicarbonate, baking soda) and vinegar (dilute acetic acid) will be used to shoot a cork out of a bottle to show that some acid-base reactions generate gases like CO2. All students in the class will participate in a voice-activated chemical reaction. Students will remove a stopper and speak into a flask containing base and an indicator that will change color once enough CO2 is introduced from the students’ breath. Further color changes from basic to acidic conditions are illustrated using natural and household liquids and a universal indicator prepared from red cabbage juice. Finally, conversion between colorless and colored forms of different acid-base indicators in unusual settings will be shown in the “invisible painting” experiment.

  • Bicarbonate Supplementation Slows Progression of CKD and Improves Nutritional Status
    JASN Express. Published on July 16, 2009 as doi: 10.1681/ASN.2008111205 CLINICAL RESEARCH www.jasn.org Bicarbonate Supplementation Slows Progression of CKD and Improves Nutritional Status Ione de Brito-Ashurst, Mira Varagunam, Martin J. Raftery, and Muhammad M. Yaqoob Department of Renal Medicine and Transplantation, William Harvey Research Institute and Barts and the London NHS Trust, London, United Kingdom ABSTRACT Bicarbonate supplementation preserves renal function in experimental chronic kidney disease (CKD), but whether the same benefit occurs in humans is unknown. Here, we randomly assigned 134 adult patients with CKD (creatinine clearance [CrCl] 15 to 30 ml/min per 1.73 m2) and serum bicarbonate 16 to 20 mmol/L to either supplementation with oral sodium bicarbonate or standard care for 2 yr. The primary end points were rate of CrCl decline, the proportion of patients with rapid decline of CrCl (Ͼ3 ml/min per 1.73 m2/yr), and ESRD (CrCl Ͻ10 ml/min). Secondary end points were dietary protein intake, normalized protein nitrogen appearance, serum albumin, and mid-arm muscle circumference. Compared with the control group, decline in CrCl was slower with bicarbonate supplementation (5.93 versus 1.88 ml/min 1.73 m2; P Ͻ 0.0001). Patients supplemented with bicarbonate were significantly less likely to experience rapid progression (9 versus 45%; relative risk 0.15; 95% confidence interval 0.06 to 0.40; P Ͻ 0.0001). Similarly, fewer patients supplemented with bicarbonate developed ESRD (6.5 versus 33%; relative risk 0.13; 95% confidence interval 0.04 to 0.40; P Ͻ 0.001).

  • Nitroxyl (Hno) and Carbonylnitrenes
    INVESTIGATION OF REACTIVE INTERMEDIATES: NITROXYL (HNO) AND CARBONYLNITRENES by Tyler A. Chavez A dissertation submitted to the Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Baltimore, Maryland February 2016 © 2016 Tyler A. Chavez All rights reserved Abstract Membrane inlet mass spectrometry (MIMS) is a well-established method used to detect gases dissolved in solution through the use of a semipermeable hydrophobic membrane that allows the dissolved gases, but not the liquid phase, to enter a mass spectrometer. Interest in the unique biological activity of azanone (nitroxyl, HNO) has highlighted the need for new sensitive and direct detection methods. Recently, MIMS has been shown to be a viable method for HNO detection with nanomolar sensitivity under physiologically relevant conditions (Chapter 2). In addition, this technique has been used to explore potential biological pathways to HNO production (Chapter 3). Nitrenes are reactive intermediates containing neutral, monovalent nitrogen atoms. In contrast to alky- and arylnitrenes, carbonylnitrenes are typically ground state singlets. In joint synthesis, anion photoelectron spectroscopic, and computational work we studied the three nitrenes, benzoylnitrene, acetylnitrene, and trifluoroacetylnitrene, with the purpose of determining the singlet-triplet splitting (ΔEST = ES – ET) in each case (Chapter 7). Further, triplet ethoxycarbonylnitrene and triplet t-butyloxycarbonylnitrene have been observed following photolysis of sulfilimine precursors by time-resolved infrared (TRIR) spectroscopy (Chapter 6). The observed growth kinetics of nitrene products suggest a contribution from both the triplet and singlet nitrene, with the contribution from the singlet becoming more prevalent in polar solvents.

  • Lesson 3 Forming a Precipitate TEACHER GUIDE
    Lesson 3 Forming a precipitate TEACHER GUIDE Lesson summary Students meet chemist Adriana Garcia, who is a chemist at a wastewater treatment plant in Lima, Peru. She explains that one of the challenges of cleaning water is removing particles that are so small they do not settle or get caught in the filters. The best way to solve this problem is to use a chemical reaction that forms a precipitate, which is large enough to settle or get caught in the filters. Students combine two clear colorless solutions and get a white precipitate, which they filter. The products of this chemical reaction are chalk, salt, and water, which are recognizable and noticeably different from the reactants. This lesson will take two class periods. You will begin with a demonstration, and then students will conduct a chemical reaction that forms a precipitate. The precipitate will need to filter slowly and then dry overnight. On the first day, while students wait for the products to dry, introduce the chemical equation for this reaction. Students will be able to recognize all of the products. On the second day, students compare the precipitate to the reactants to find that it is truly a different substance with different properties. Key concepts + Formation of a precipitate is a clue that a chemical reaction may have occurred. + A precipitate is a solid that forms in the chemical reaction between liquids. It does not dissolve in the resulting solution. + The products of a chemical reaction are different from the reactants, but are made of the same type and number of atoms.
