General description
Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) also known as caustic soda is a water soluble inorganic base with a wide range of industrial application such as titration,[1] dissolution testing[2] and in impinger to remove acidic gases.[3] It participates in the oxidation of glycerol catalyzed by Au/charcoal or Au/graphite.[4] It participates in solvent-free aldol condensation reaction.[5]
Application
Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) was used in the following processes:
- Preparation of sodium 3,3′-bis(sulfonato)-4,4′-bis(chloroacetamido)azobenzene (BSBCA) that is utilized in protein cross-linking techniques.[6]
- Preparation of electrolyte solution to study the effect of electrolyte composition on the conversion of CO2 to CO by electrochemical reduction.[7]
- Preparation of CSK (cytoskeleton) buffer for the three-dimensional (3D) slide method of preserving the 3D chromatin structure of testicular germ cells.[8]
- Synthesis of ZSMs (zeolite socony mobils).[9]
- alkylaryl amidosulfobetaines[13]
- (3 -[4-teroctylphenoxyethoxyethoxyethyl] dimethylammonio propane sulfonate (XOSB)[13]
- trisulfobetaines (TriSBn)[13]
Sodium hydroxide may be used as a base in titration methods[1], dissolution testing[2], for adjusting pH[14] and in the impinger to remove acidic gases.[1]
It may be used in the following processes:
It may be used in the following processes:
- Conversion of glycerol to glyceric acid in the presence of gold catalyst.[15]
- Palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction between vinylalkoxysilanes and aryl bromides or chlorides to form styrenes.[16]
