    What is the most cost-effective method for making food grade zinc carbonate?

    I can't really help you for the first part since I don't know about Zinc Carbonate, but I can tell if you need a food-grade acid Citric Acid should do since it has a quit low pH, maybe the reaction need Chloride in solution so just add salt to see if it's the case. Avoid ammonia as much as you...

    Electrolysis to reduce water's saltiness?

    Oh yes I see, that's why I thought about adjusting the pH. But do you think using a chelator such as sodium citrate could help ? I mean having sodium in solution is still better than calcium in term of taste and quantity of OH-.

    Electrolysis to reduce water's saltiness?

    Hi I wonder if we can reduce the quantity of salt (mostly Cl- and Ca2+) from water by electrolysis and still be safe to drink. I know that with inert electrods (not sure which ones although) Cl- would be trun into Cl2(g) and I'm concerned by its toxicity even though it's going in the air. But...

    What are the benefits of studying hydrocolloids extracted from seaweeds?

    Hello ! I'm studying organic chemistry in Corsica (France) and have a bachelor degree in Physics and Chemistry. Currently I'm on an internship in London, working on hydrocolloids (especially extracted from seaweeds). I'm joining this forum hoping to have an audience if I have questions, to be...
