Ascarite® is sodium hydroxide coated silica mainly used as carbon dioxide adsorbents. It is the second generation of the original Ascarite, which was derived from granular asbestos. Ascarite rapidly and quantitatively adsorbs carbon dioxide, (and acid gases), and is useful in a number of analytical and microanalytical procedures, physiological studies, etc.
Application
Ascarite® can be used as a carbon dioxide (CO2) trap.[1][2]
Features and Benefits
The material is self-indicating, gradually changing color (to white) within a narrow zone due to the formation of sodium carbonate.

The development of commercially viable "green products", based on natural resources for the matrices and reinforcements, in a wide range of applications, is on the rise. The present paper focuses on Sterculia urens short fiber reinforced pure cellulose matrix composite
Most polysaccharides cannot dissolve in water but can be hydrolysed using hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) to yield a water-soluble product. This study presents a method of preparing water-soluble polysaccharides from peach gum by hydrolysis using H2O2. Extraction was monitored by the
Liquid hot water (LHW), dilute hydrochloric acid (HCl) and dilute sodium hydroxide (NaOH) were applied to sugarcane bagasse (SB). Application of the same analytical methods and material balance approaches facilitated meaningful comparisons of glucose and xylose yields from combined pretreatment
