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

Several exposure campaigns of silica-soda-lime window glass have been performed in 30 European sites and 1 in Canada in order to understand, quantify and model the phenomenon of soiling. In this purpose samples were exposed sheltered from the rain. Parallel

Carbon monoxide (CO) can be produced in the anesthesia circuit when inhaled anesthetics are degraded by dried carbon dioxide absorbent and exhaled CO can potentially be rebreathed during low-flow anesthesia. Exposure to low concentrations of CO (12.5 ppm) can cause

To test the hypothesis that the indentation crack technique can determine surface residual stresses that are not statistically significantly different from those determined from the analytical procedure using surface cracks, the four-point flexure test, and fracture surface analysis. Soda-lime-silica glass
A low melting point soda-lime glass powder containing copper nanoparticles with high antibacterial (against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria) and antifungal activity has been obtained. Sepiolite fibres containing monodispersed copper nanoparticles (d(50) approximately 30 +/- 5 nm) were used as the
