|
| Application: | Sodium hydroxide is used as a reagent: • for the preparation of synthesis solution during the formation of LTA zeolite crystals in the hydrothermal synthesis process. • in the synthesis of 2-line ferrihydrite (spHm) and rhombohedral Hm (rhHm) and as a base to adjust the pH of the mixed solution. • to raise the pH of the HEPES buffer during catalytic reactivity to nanoparticle (CRNP) assay and synthesis. • in the synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles from zinc chloride during lithium doping impact on the cathodoluminescence of the nanoparticles. |
| General description: | Sodium hydroxide (caustic soda, NaOH) is a water-soluble inorganic base with a wide range of industrial applications such as titration methods, dissolution testing, and pH adjusting. It is also used as a precipitant to precipitate transition metal hydroxides. |
