sodium

If high sodium diets are bad for you, minimize sodium as much as possible (as opposed to just consuming a moderate amount).

To answer your question, ion exchangers do what you ask, using sulfuric acid and sodium hydroxide, and produce a ton of sodium sulfate in the resulting desalinated water.

Does f.lux affect the brightness or does it just make everything look like a sodium lamp?

Yup, liquid sodium was scaring the hell out of the workers on the site, and rightfully.

It's surprising there isn't some chemical reaction to precipitate out the sodium and chloride atoms bonded to something else, or whatever.

The benchmark for grow lights is the low-pressure sodium lamp, at about 38% efficiency.

Yes, you need sodium in your diet to live, you do not need 3400 mg of it a day (twice recommended level).

It's almost impossible to use a chemical reaction to precipitate sodium and chloride.

It would be foolish to throw away 50 years of knowledge and experience on light water reactors to start over on sodium, fluoride, pebble-bed, etc.

I'm no health expert, so take what I say with a pinch of (low-sodium) salt.

Lamp size may also help, I used a 600 watt high pressure sodium lamp in my calculation against the 250 watt LED.

To be more accurate, sodium chloride salt doesn't work.

Even stuff like fat & sodium, which people generally think of as "not good for you" are required for your body.

I like the sodium fast reactor: low pressure, moderate temperature, sodium is dirt cheap, high burn-up of non-uranium/plutonium products ("waste"), and plutonium need never be separated from other reaction products.

Humble old fluoride seems to work better than fancy calcium sodium phosphosilicate (also known as NovaMin): "The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the effect of toothpastes containing sodium fluoride in different concentrations or a calcium sodium phosphosilicate system on pre-softened dentin demineralization and remineralization.

High pressure sodium lamps (apparently the norm for indoor commercial food growing) look to be about 1.8µmoles/watt, compared against the ">2 µmoles/watt" of these lights, well, its going to take a long time to save $1000 in energy on a 250 watt lamp.

Sodium, a metal that burns on contact with water, was used as the coolant for a submerged nuclear reactor!
