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. Electrolysed water - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrolysed_water

   Both sodium hydroxide and hypochlorous acid are efficient disinfecting agents; [1] [4] as mentioned above, the key to effective sanitation is to have a high proportion of hypochlorous acid present, this happens between acidic and neutral pH conditions. [3] EOW will kill spores and many viruses and bacteria. [3]

4. Water purification - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_purification

   Fresh water can have widely ranging pH values depending on the geology of the drainage basin or aquifer and the influence of contaminant inputs . If the water is acidic (lower than 7), lime, soda ash, or sodium hydroxide can be added to raise the pH during water purification processes. Lime addition increases the calcium ion concentration, thus ...

5. Electrolysis of water - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrolysis_of_water

   Electrolysis in pure water consumes/reduces H + cations at the cathode and consumes/oxidizes hydroxide (OH −) anions at the anode. This can be verified by adding a pH indicator to the water: Water near the cathode is basic while water near the anode is acidic.

6. Lye - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lye

   Potassium hydroxide soaps are softer and more easily dissolved in water than sodium hydroxide soaps. Sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide are not interchangeable in either the proportions required or the properties produced in making soaps. [citation needed] "Hot process" soap making also uses lye as the main ingredient. Lye is added to ...

7. Water chlorination - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_chlorination

   Water chlorination is the process of adding chlorine or chlorine compounds such as sodium hypochlorite to water. This method is used to kill bacteria, viruses and other microbes in water. This method is used to kill bacteria, viruses and other microbes in water.

8. Piranha solution - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piranha_solution

   One procedure for acid-base neutralization consists in pouring the piranha solution into a sufficiently large glass container filled with at least five times the solution's mass of ice (for cooling the exothermic reaction, and also for dilution purposes), then slowly adding 1M sodium or potassium hydroxide solution until

9. Cleaning agent - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cleaning_agent

   Sodium carbonate (washing soda) Sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) Sodium hydroxide (lye) Sodium hypochlorite (liquid bleach) Sodium perborate; Sodium percarbonate; Tetrachloroethylene (dry cleaning) Trisodium phosphate; Water, the most common cleaning agent, which is a very powerful polar solvent; Xylene (can damage plastics)
