  2. Calcium sulfate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcium_sulfate

    Calcium sulfate (or calcium sulphate) is the inorganic compound with the formula CaSO 4 and related hydrates. In the form of γ- anhydrite (the anhydrous form), it is used as a desiccant . One particular hydrate is better known as plaster of Paris , and another occurs naturally as the mineral gypsum .

  3. Detergent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Detergent

    Detergents. A detergent is a surfactant or a mixture of surfactants with cleansing properties when in dilute solutions. [1] There are a large variety of detergents. A common family is the alkylbenzene sulfonates, which are soap-like compounds that are more soluble than soap in hard water, because the polar sulfonate is less likely than the polar carboxylate of soap to bind to calcium and other ...

  4. Sulfonate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sulfonate

    The sulfonate ion. In organosulfur chemistry, a sulfonate is a salt, anion or ester of a sulfonic acid. Its formula is R−S(=O) 2 −O −, containing the functional group −S(=O) 2 −O −, where R is typically an organyl group, amino group or a halogen atom. Sulfonates are the conjugate bases of sulfonic acids.

  5. Biphasic calcium sulfate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biphasic_Calcium_Sulfate

    Biphasic calcium sulfate is a granulated powder composed of calcium sulfate hydrate (CaSO 4 •2H 2 O) and calcium sulfate hemihydrate (CaSO 4 • ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠ H 2 O). [citation needed] It is used primarily as a bone grafting material in dental augmentation procedures such as socket grafting, lateral augmentation, sinus lift, cyst enucleation and more.

    Alteration of hardened cement paste composition, with monosulfate aluminates phase converting to ettringite and, in later stages, gypsum formation. The necessary additional calcium is provided by the calcium hydroxide and calcium silicate hydrate in the cement paste; The effect of these changes is an overall loss of concrete strength.

  8. Lignosulfonates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lignosulfonates

    Roads treated with lignosulfonates can be distinguished from those treated with calcium chloride by color: lignosulfonates give the road surface a dark grey color, while calcium chloride lend the road surface a distinctive tan or brown color. As lignosulfonates do not rely on water to provide their binding properties, they tend to be more ...

  9. Polystyrene sulfonate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polystyrene_sulfonate

    Common side effects include loss of appetite, gastrointestinal upset, constipation, and low blood calcium. [1] These polymers are derived from polystyrene by the addition of sulfonate functional groups. Sodium polystyrene sulfonate was approved for medical use in the United States in 1958. [1]
