Caustic Soda Pearl CAS 1310-73-2 Sodium Hydroxide Sodium hydrate
Product Brochure:DOWNLOAD
Sodium hydroxide is used to adjust the pH of water. In acidic water, adding sodium hydroxide can increase the pH value, making the water less corrosive and more suitable for various applications such as industrial processes and municipal water supply. It can also help in the precipitation of heavy metals from water. For example, when treating wastewater containing metal ions like cadmium or lead, the addition of sodium hydroxide can cause the metal ions to form insoluble hydroxides, which can then be removed from the water through filtration or sedimentation processes.
