  2. Sodium hydroxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_hydroxide

    Sodium hydroxide, also known as lye and caustic soda, [1] [2] is an inorganic compound with the formula NaOH. It is a white solid ionic compound consisting of sodium cations Na + and hydroxide anions OH −. Sodium hydroxide is a highly corrosive base and alkali that decomposes lipids and proteins at ambient temperatures and may cause severe ...

  3. Lye - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lye

    Pellets of soda lye (sodium hydroxide) Pellets of potash lye (potassium hydroxide) Lye is a hydroxide, either sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide. The word lye most accurately refers to sodium hydroxide (NaOH), [citation needed] but historically has been conflated to include other alkali materials, most notably potassium hydroxide (KOH). In ...

  4. Olin Corporation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olin_Corporation

    After the war, the Olins acquired the Mathieson Chemical Corporation—also founded in 1892. [8] [9] [10] Long before its association with Olin, Mathieson Alkali Works began business in Saltville, Virginia, and a year later acquired its neighbor, the Holston Salt and Plaster Corp. Saltville became a quintessential company town, where they produced chlorine and caustic soda, and in the process ...

  5. Calcium hydroxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcium_hydroxide

    It is a colorless crystal or white powder and is produced when quicklime (calcium oxide) is mixed with water. Annually, approximately 125 million tons of calcium hydroxide are produced worldwide. [8] Calcium hydroxide has many names including hydrated lime, caustic lime, builders' lime, slaked lime, cal, and pickling lime.

  6. Chloralkali process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chloralkali_process

    The diaphragm prevents the reaction of the caustic soda with the chlorine. A diluted caustic brine leaves the cell. The caustic soda must usually be concentrated to 50% and the salt removed. This is done using an evaporative process with about three tonnes of steam per tonne of caustic soda. The salt separated from the caustic brine can be used ...

  7. Paint stripper - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paint_stripper

    Caustic paint removers, typically aqueous sodium hydroxide (also known as lye or caustic soda), work by breaking down the chemical bonds of the paint, usually by hydrolysis of the esters that comprise the paint film. [1] Caustic removers must be neutralized or the new finish will fail prematurely.

  8. Drano - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drano

    The release of hydrogen gas stirs the mixture and improves the interaction between the lye and the materials clogging the drain. It's possible that pressure may build up inside the pipe, causing the hot, caustic solution to spurt out of the drain. Sodium nitrate reacts with hydrogen gas: Na + + NO 3 − + 4H 2 → NaOH + NH 3 + 2H 2 O. This ...

  9. Flue-gas desulfurization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flue-gas_desulfurization

    Caustic soda is limited to smaller combustion units because it is more expensive than lime, but it has the advantage that it forms a solution rather than a slurry. This makes it easier to operate. It produces a " spent caustic " solution of sodium sulfite /bisulfite (depending on the pH), or sodium sulfate that must be disposed of.
