Ever need a fact or quotation on hydroxides? Designed for speechwriters, journalists, writers, researchers, students, professors, teachers, historians, academics, scrapbookers, trivia buffs and word lovers, this is the largest book ever created for this single word. It represents a compilation from a variety of sources with a linguistic emphasis on anything relating to the term “hydroxides,” including non-conventional usage and alternative meanings which capture ambiguities. The entries cover all parts of speech (noun, verb, adverb or adjective usage) as well as use in modern slang, pop culture, social sciences (linguistics, history, geography, economics, sociology, political science), business, computer science, literature, law, medicine, psychology, mathematics, chemistry, physics, biology and other physical sciences. This “data dump” results in many unexpected examples for hydroxides, since the editorial decision to include or exclude terms is purely a linguistic process. The resulting entries are used under license or with permission, used under “fair use” conditions, used in agreement with the original authors, or are in the public domain. Proceeds from this book are used to expand the content and coverage of Webster’s Online Dictionary (www.websters-online-dictionary.org).

Ever need a fact or quotation on "hydroxides"? Designed for speechwriters, journalists, writers, researchers, students, professors, teachers, historians, academics, scrapbookers, trivia buffs and word lovers, this is the largest book ever created for this word. It represents a compilation of "single sentences" and/or "short paragraphs" from a variety of sources with a linguistic emphasis on anything relating to the term "hydroxides," including non-conventional usage and alternative meanings which capture ambiguities. This is not an encyclopedic book, but rather a collage of statements made using the word "hydroxides," or related words (e.g. inflections, synonyms or antonyms). This title is one of a series of books that considers all major vocabulary words. The entries in each book cover all parts of speech (noun, verb, adverb or adjective usage) as well as use in modern slang, pop culture, social sciences (linguistics, history, geography, economics, sociology, political science), business, computer science, literature, law, medicine, psychology, mathematics, chemistry, physics, biology and other physical sciences. This data dump results in many unexpected examples for "hydroxides," since the editorial decision to include or exclude terms is purely a computer-generated linguistic process.

Hydroxides

The upper layer is separated and dried with solid potassium hydroxide.–James Bryant Conant (editor) in Organic Syntheses.

Hydroxides – "Sodium"

Great care must be taken in determining the end point in the neutralization of the sodium hydroxide by the sulfur dioxide.–James Bryant Conant (editor) in Organic Syntheses.

In purifying the aldehyde, sodium carbonate may be used in place of sodium hydroxide for precipitation, but it causes much foaming.–James Bryant Conant (editor) in Organic Syntheses.

This is shaken with sodium hydroxide solution until no more odor of sulfur dioxide is noticeable, then washed twice with water and distilled.–James Bryant Conant (editor) in Organic Syntheses.

The rest of the aldehyde is now precipitated by means of more sodium hydroxide solution, and comes down almost white.–James Bryant Conant (editor) in Organic Syntheses.

The recovered benzyl alcohol can be used for the preparation of a second lot of benzyl benzoate only after it has been boiled with strong sodium hydroxide to remove all traces of benzaldehyde.–James Bryant Conant (editor) in Organic Syntheses.

Patent Usage

2–amino Substituted Pyridines for Use in the Treatment of Arteriosclerosis and Hyperlipoproteinaemia: Patented by Carsten Schmeck, Arndt Brandes, Michael Lögers, Gunter Schmidt, Klaus–dieter Bremm, Hilmar Bischoff, Delf Schmidt and Joachim Schuhmacher on January 23, 1998. Abstract: The invention relates to novel 2–amino–substituted pyridines which are produced by first converting corresponding pyridine aldehydes into the corresponding hydroxides by means of metal–organic compounds such as Grignard compounds, and then reducing said hydroxides to a deshydroxy compound. The novel 2–amino–substituted pyridines are suitable for use as active ingredients in medicaments, particularly those used in the treatment of arteriosclerosis.

ACIDIC GAS ABSORBENT AND PROCESS FOR PRODUCTION THEREOF: Patented by Yoshitsugu Sakata, Shinogu Fukahori, Hiroyuki Kodera and Kenzi Iwata on April 1, 1990. Abstract: A molded acidic gas absorbent produced by press molding powders, etc. of calcium hydroxide and one or more powders, etc. of alkali metal hydroxides and alkaline earth metal hydroxides except for calcium hydroxide, impregnating the molded article with water, followed by heat treatment while maintaining a predetermined amount of water therein is effective for absorbing an acidic gas such as CO.sub.2 in air and a narcotic gas.

Agent for Cleaning Hard Surfaces: Patented by Elisabet Dejorge and Jaume Josa on June 26, 1997. Abstract: The invention concerns agents for cleaning hard surfaces, the agents containing: (a) alkali metal hypochlorites; (b) alkali metal hydroxides; (c) amino oxides; (d1) C 8 -C 10 alkyl sulphates; and/or (d2) alkyl phosphates; and optionally further conventional auxiliary substances and additives. The agents are preferably used in the form of pump sprays and are distinguished by particularly advantageous foaming and cleaning power.

Algaecide compositions and methods of removing algae: Patented by Joe S. Wilkins Jr on January 3, 2000. Abstract: An algaecide formulated in a concentrated, solid composition form for subsequent dissolution in water is disclosed. The algaecide is designed to remove algae from a variety of interior and exterior surfaces. The preferred algaecide compositions chlorinated isocyanurates, such as sodium dichloro-s-triazinetrione, alkali hydroxides selected from the group consisting of sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, calcium hydroxide, and lithium hydroxide; metal sulfates selected from the group consisting of copper sulfate, zinc sulfate, and aluminum sulfate; and a buffer.

Alkaline solid polymer electrolyte, electrode and electrochemical generator containing such as electrolyte: Patented by Jean-Francois Fauvarque on March 1, 1995. Abstract: Aqueous alkaline solid electrolyte comprising a polar polymer matrix which is solid at ambient temperature, and a compound or mixture of basic compounds selected from alkaline metal, alkaline-earth or ammonium hydroxides. Preferably, the matrix is a polyether homopolymer or copolymer of different ethers or polyethers. The invention also concerns electrodes and/or electrochemical generators containing such an alkaline polymer solid electrolyte.
