alkalinity

Unless they mean alkalinity, which is carbonate, but not dissolved CO2.

The need to protect sources of water with more alkalinity is a largely ignored lesson of this crisis.

This is because the initial alkalinity of the concrete, which protects the steel, will be neutralized over time.

Efforts to improve methane selectivity while suppressing multi-carbon products, e.g., ethylene, often involve lower alkalinity electrolytes.

Need very fine particles for that and its usually classed then as ocean alkalinity enhancement (OAE).

Seems to me the greatest risk from doing this is that the concentrated alkalinity will kill marine life before it disperses.

Do you have any understanding of how co2 lowers alkalinity in a solution or what impacts that might have on the planet?

Woo, low-alkalinity water, AKA aggressive water, is going to cause all kinds of problems.

Note that some things must be boiled to become safe; pokeweed greens can be boiled (and the water discarded) to reduce alkalinity.

There is automatic pH/alkalinity dosing equipment for small private water schemes, but I have no idea of names or prices.

In layman's terms, pH is a scale for measuring alkalinity vs acidity.

It doesn't affect any other animals, including us, because the crystallisation requires strong alkalinity and the presence of certain bacteria that are unique to the lepidopteran larval midgut.

Surely a scientist would say "the ph is declining..." or "alkalinity is being reduced" or the maybe "solution's alkalinity is being neutralized"?

Chemically being "tribasic", citric can absorb up to 3 times the alkalinity per molecule compared to the acetic acid (vinegar) it is often used as a substitute for.

It is "hard" in the chemistry sense...and difficult to chug (the body doesnt like large amounts of it too quickly) Once youve drunk ph adjusted (higher alkalinity) from a 4 cartridge RO water filter...everything tastes like shit.

Even today, as specialty coffee digs into water hardness, alkalinity, and pH, it’s tempting to think that some of our “scientific instincts” are, in a way, echoes of the same land.

Alkalinity enhancement of oceans (so it absorbs more carbon) is one carbon capture mechanism.
