Effect of soda lime on the degradation of sevoflurane has been studied. Degradation products were investigated for their toxicity.[1]
Soda lime is a mixture of calcium hydroxide with sodium or potassium hydroxide. When not stored in sealed containers, it quickly deteriorates due to carbon dioxide and water absorption. In laboratories, it is also used as a drying agent.
Application
Soda lime can be used:
As a hydrolysis reagent in the synthesis of bentazone from isatoic anhydride.
In the monitoring of CO2 efflux from field soils.
In the direct measurement of dissolved CO2 (carbon dioxide) in supersaturated water.
Soda lime may be employed for the conversion of α-amino acids to primary amines.[2]
Sevoflurane previously has been reported to undergo extensive degradation in the presence of soda lime. To more completely characterize the extent and significnce of this reaction, we studied degradation of sevoflurane with and without soda lime, as well as the

In this article, we describe a critical event which occurred in a simulation centre, and we also review possible safety issues for participants and staff involved in medical simulation training. The authors report an incident with the potential of harming
The present work was focused on obtaining biocide coatings constituted by a glassy soda-lime matrix containing silver or copper nanoparticles on ceramic (alumina and zirconia based) substrates. Both glassy coatings showed a high biocide activity against Gram-, Gram+ bacteria and
This paper reports the effect of soda-lime-glass-nAg coating on the viability of an in vitro biofilm of Streptococcus oralis. Three strains (ATCC 35037 and two clinical isolates from periodontitis patients) were grown on coated with glass, glass containing silver nanoparticles
In this study, different glasses were investigated to improve reusable investments. Borosilicate glass (BSG) powder and soda-lime glass (SLG) powder were prepared by milling broken beakers and microscope slides, respectively, and used in experimental investments (I-BSG, I-SLG) by blending glass
