  2. Tannin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tannin

    The presence of tannins (or humic acid) in well water can make it smell bad or taste bitter, but this does not make it unsafe to drink. [25] Tannins leaching from an unprepared driftwood decoration in an aquarium can cause pH lowering and coloring of the water to a tea-like tinge.

  3. Tannic acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tannic_acid

    Quercitannic acid is one of the two forms of tannic acid [4] found in oak bark and leaves. [5] The other form is called gallotannic acid and is found in oak galls.. The quercitannic acid molecule is also present in quercitron, a yellow dye obtained from the bark of the Eastern black oak (Quercus velutina), a forest tree indigenous in North America.

  4. Blackwater river - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackwater_river

    A swamp-fed stream in northern Florida, showing tannin-stained undisturbed blackwater. A blackwater river is a type of river with a slow-moving channel flowing through forested swamps or wetlands.

  5. Drilling fluid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drilling_fluid

    Water-based mud (WBM): Most water-based mud systems begin with water, then clays and other chemicals are added to create a homogeneous blend with viscosity between chocolate milk and a malt. The clay is usually a combination of native clays that are suspended in the fluid while drilling, or specific types of clay processed and sold as additives ...

  6. Rust converter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rust_converter

    Tannic acid chemically converts the reddish iron oxides into bluish-black ferric tannate, a more stable material. [2] The second active ingredient is an organic solvent such as 2-butoxyethanol (ethylene glycol monobutyl ether, trade name butyl cellosolve) that acts as a wetting agent and provides a protective primer layer in conjunction with an ...

  7. Polyphenol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyphenol

    Extraction of polyphenols [12] can be performed using a solvent like water, hot water, methanol, methanol/formic acid, methanol/water/acetic or formic acid. Liquid–liquid extraction can be also performed or countercurrent chromatography. Solid phase extraction can also be made on C18 sorbent cartridges.

  8. Iron gall ink - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_gall_ink

    For that reason, the liquid ink needs to be stored in a well-stoppered bottle, and often becomes unusable after a time. The ferric ions react with the tannic acid or some derived compound (possibly gallic acid or pyrogallol) to form a polymeric organometallic compound. [4] While a very effective ink, the formula was less than ideal.

  9. Caustic embrittlement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caustic_embrittlement

    Inside the cracks, the water evaporates and the amount of hydroxide keeps increasing progressively. The concentrated area with high stress works as anode and diluted area works as cathode. At anode, sodium hydroxide attacks the surrounding material and then dissolves the iron of the boiler as sodium ferrate forming rust.
