The aim of this study was to identify the effectiveness of liming in combination with vegetation for the recovery of slightly acidic, saline soils of eutrophic wetlands affected by mine wastes, under fluctuating flooding conditions. Simulated soil profiles were constructed

The establishment of rules to manage Health Care Waste (HCW) is a challenge for the public sector. Regulatory agencies must ensure the safety of waste management alternatives for two very different profiles of generators: (1) hospitals, which concentrate the production

This paper presents a novel method for reactivation of spent CaO-based sorbents from calcium looping (CaL) cycles for CO(2) capture. A spent Cadomin limestone-derived sorbent sample from a pilot-scale fluidized bed (FBC) CaL reactor is used for reactivation. The calcined

Questions

  1. In #451711, 1) Anhydrous CaO means there's "Zero moisture" Calcium Oxides ? 2) the purity 99.99% means there's 0.01% impurities ?

    1 answer
    1. Product 451711 does not have a specification for water content. This is likely because calcium oxide reacts with water to form calcium hydroxide, so water would not be detected. The term "anhydrous" is used more to distinguish this Calcium oxide product (typically approximately 71 percent Calcium by weight) from Calcium hydroxide (typically approximately 54 percent Calcium by weight).
      The purity value of 99.99 percent is on a trace metals basis. That is, Product 451711 contains AT MOST 0.01 percent or 100 ppm of metals other than Calcium.
