I would like to ask what will happen if I dip a piece of metal like aluminium into bleaching solution, which contains hyprochlorite ions?
Did it say what kind of metal? I would think it depends on what kind of bleaching solution you have and what kind of metal you put in it.Originally posted by KL Kam
few days ago in newspaper, it said that we should avoid household bleach in contact with metal. I don't know why though. I think i shan't do experiments like this at home. I guess poisounous gas like chlorine gas may produce but I'm not sure.
Aluminium is often used as a catalyst in the bleaching process, helping to speed up the chemical reactions that break down pigments and stains. It also helps to stabilize the bleaching agents and make them more effective.
When aluminium is used in bleaching, it breaks down the chemical bonds that give fabrics their color. This results in a loss of color, making the fabric appear lighter or whiter.
Yes, aluminium is considered safe to use in bleaching as it is non-toxic and non-corrosive. It is also biodegradable, making it an environmentally friendly option.
Aluminium can be used in most types of bleaching processes, including both chlorine and oxygen-based bleaching. However, it is not suitable for use with certain types of fabrics, such as silk and wool, as it can cause damage.
After the bleaching process is complete, the aluminium is typically removed through a rinsing process. This ensures that no traces of aluminium remain on the fabric, which could potentially cause damage or irritation.
