Acidic carbon dioxide solutions have been used for stain removal (see Dunsmore citation below). I'm not optimistic that it has the strength to affect the roof, but hell, give it a try. I went to Muriatic acid (or alternatively to HCL hydrochloric acid) with reluctance as these are ...
The sodium hypochlorite in bleach reacts with carbon dioxide in the air to produce chlorine gas, a powerful oxidizer that will attack most metals, including the chromium oxide layer on the stainless steel. Once it has compromised the passive layer, the chlorine goes on to attack the metal itse...
Rust is the common name for a compound called iron oxide — that reddish-orange flaky stuff you see peppered on some metal. This forms when iron and oxygen react to moisture. It doesn’t even have to be water exactly, it could just be the presence of water in the air. Here’s a mo...
In agro-ecosystem, plant pathogens hamper food quality, crop yield, and global food security. Manipulation of naturally occurring defense mechanisms in hos
Saturated fatty acids reacted differently to Com-AMF-CNP treatments under drought conditions. Heptadecanoic and stearic acids were not changed under any of the individual or combined treatments. When maize plants were grown under the effect of Com, there were significant increases in the levels of ...
The Fe2+ activates PDS to generateSO4−•, which reacts with TA to generate organic compound radicals (R•), then Fe3+ reacts with R• slowly to generate Fe2+, forming a chain reaction which promotes the oxidation reaction for a long time. This is consistent with the results of ...
