Borax and other borates clean and bleach by converting some water molecules to hydrogen peroxide (H\u003csub\u003e2\u003c\/sub\u003eO\u003csub\u003e2\u003c\/sub\u003e). This reaction is more favourable in hotter water. The pH of borax is about 9.5, so it produces a basic solution in water, thereby increasing the effectiveness of bleach and other cleaners. In other chemical reactions, borax acts as a buffer, maintaining a stable pH needed to maintain cleansing chemical reactions. The boron, salt, and\/or oxygen of boron inhibit the metabolic processes of many organisms. This characteristic allows borax to disinfect and kill unwanted pests. Borates bonds with other particles to keep ingredients dispersed evenly in a mixture, which maximizes the surface area of active particles to enhance cleaning power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEven though it best known as a laundry booster, borax does much more, and once you discover how many things it is good for, you will want to keep a box handy.

Once you understand the basic technique, you can alter the recipe for the ball to see how the chemical composition affects the bounciness of the ball, as well as other characteristics.\u003cbr\u003eThe bouncy ball in this activity is made from a polymer.

It has a molar ratio of 3.27 and a total solids content of 36.8%. It is produced by fusing sand (SiO2) with sodium carbonate which produces solid glass (cullet). The glass is then dissolved in water and steam under high pressure which produces the sodium silicate solution also known as water glass. It is widely used in industry as sealants, binders, deflocculants, emulsifiers and buffers.

When dissolved in water, both sodium silicate, and magnesium silicate form a thick paste that is easy to apply. When the exhaust system of an internal combustion engine heats up to its operating temperature, the heat drives out all of the excess water from the paste. The silicate compounds that are left over have glass-like properties, making a somewhat permanent, brittle repair.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAutomotive repair\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSodium silicate can be used to seal leaks at the head gasket. Rather than pull the head, a jar of \"liquid glass\" is poured into the radiator and allowed to circulate. The Water glass is injected via the radiator water into the hotspot at the motor. This technique works because at 93 C the sodium silicate loses water molecules to form a very powerful sealant that will not re-melt below 815 C. This approach is often used by disreputable used-car salespersons to disguise a leaking head gasket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA sodium silicate repair of a leaking head gasket can hold for up to two years and even longer in some cases. The effect will be almost instant, and steam from the radiator water will stop coming out the exhaust within minutes of application. This repair only works with water to cylinder or water to Air applications and where the sodium silicate reaches the \"conversion\" temperature of 93 C.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAs an Adhesive\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSodium silicate is also used currently as an exhaust system joint and crack sealer for repairing mufflers, resonators, tailpipes and other exhaust components, with and without fiberglass reinforcing tapes.

A chemical reaction occurs with the excess Ca(OH)2 in the concrete that permanently binds the silicates with the surface making them far more wearable and water repellent. Apply a solution of sodium silicate, diluted 1 part silicate with up to 4 parts water by brush or low pressure sprayer.  Depending on porosity of concrete etc 2 or 3 applications may be necessary.

When blended with the aforementioned lightweight aggregates, water glass can be used to make hard, high-temperature insulation boards used for refractories, passive fire protection and high temperature insulations, such as moulded pipe insulation applications. When mixed with finely divided mineral powders, such as vermiculite dust (which is common scrap from the exfoliation process), one can produce high temperature adhesives. The intumescence disappears in the presence of finely divided mineral dust, whereby the waterglass becomes a mere matrix. Water-glass is inexpensive and abundantly available, which makes its use popular in many refractory applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWater Treatment\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWater glass is used as a water treatment in waste water treatment plants.

When mixed with water, a small proportion of it dissolves, forming a solution known as limewater, the rest remaining as a suspension called milk of lime (see below 'how to make Limewater'). In buon fresco painting limewater is used as the colour solvent to apply on fresh plaster. Limewater is widely used by marine aquarists and is a primary supplement of calcium and alkalinity for reef aquariums.

It forms from the weathering of feldspar-rich rocks (like granite). Kaolin is used in ceramics, bricks, paint, plastics, rubber, sealants, adhesives, coated paper, as a light diffusing material in white incandescent light bulbs, and as a filler in many other applications.

It is relatively inert and is virtually insoluble in water, weak acids and weak bases. Although it has very little chemical reactivity, talc does have an affinity for certain organic chemicals. Above 900C, talc loses its hydroxyl groups and above 1050C, it converts into anhydrous magnesium silicate. Above 1300C it melts.

As it’s name suggests it is a layer of Bentonite POWDER or Bentonite GRANULES (or a mixture of both) which is laid between the base of the pond and a top layer of soil or clay. Application is more labour intensive compared to other methods but the results are superior.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn order to use this method, the pond must be drained. All roots, rocks, logs etc should be removed. Remove a layer of 10 to 15cm of the soil and place around the sides of the pond. The base of the pond should be even and if there are any large crevices or holes these should be filled with a mixture of soil and bentonite (5:1 mix) and tamped down or rolled.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpread a layer of the Bentonite evenly over the surface.

Lay the required bags per 10 sq m in the marked area.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe soil that was originally excavated needs to be reapplied and spread evenly over the layer of bentonite. Care should be taken to avoid excessive disturbance of the bentonite layer. When all soil has been applied compact the surface by rolling or tamping. Then lightly spray the surface with water and tamp down a second time. When refilling pond, ensure water flow is slow and even to avoid any disturbance of the newly prepared surface.

It is considered to be less effective at sealing ponds and reducing seepage compared to the Blanket and Mixed Blanket methods. It is commonly employed for targeted treatment of areas where seepage is suspected to be occurring, rather than treating the complete bed of the pond or lake. The Powdered Bentonite is not recommended for this Method. The GRANULAR Bentonite should be used for this application and for very deep water, the Bentonite PELLETS are preferred.

The use of goggles, dust mask, and gloves is recommended.\u003cbr\u003e• Remove any large lumps and stones from the soil, which needs to be sufficiently dry to mix easily with the bentonite powder.\u003cbr\u003e• In the case of very porous soils (such as those with a high content of stone, limestone, chalk or peat) we suggest using a bentonite enriched sand layer. Suitable fine sand for mixing is readily available from builders’ merchants.\u003cbr\u003e• To achieve a good seal, the bentonite powder must be thoroughly mixed with the soil or sand.\u003cbr\u003e• Mixing can be carried out by use of a cement mixer. Add the soil or sand first, followed by the bentonite.\u003cbr\u003e• For sandy soils, porous soils and bentonite enriched sands we suggest using 10 Kg of bentonite per square metre. For clayey soils, as little as 4 kg per square metre may be adequate.\u003cbr\u003e• The bulk density of bentonite powder is around 850 Kg \/m3. This is much lower than soil or sand, so it is advisable to weigh the first shovels or buckets to ensure that the desired ratio is being used. (Typically, sands have a bulk density of around 1600 Kg\/m3).\u003cbr\u003e• Mix the bentonite with the soil or sand until a uniform colour is achieved. Take a sample to see if the bentonite is binding the soil (or sand) by squeezing a handful. If the mix is dry and powdery, add some water to achieve swelling and bonding. If the mix is sticky, too much water is present and more soil, sand or bentonite should be added.\u003cbr\u003e• Lay the prepared mixture over the area of the proposed pond site and rake to obtain an even layer. Once it has been tamped hard or firmly compacted with a heavy roller, the mixture should form a dense layer of 20 to 25cm in depth. The harder the soil is packed the lower will be its permeability and the better it’s long term resistance to the passage of water. Hard rammed bentonite enriched soil will have a density of approximately 1.5 tonnes per cubic metre.\u003cbr\u003e• Apply a top layer of 5 to 10cms of soil. This should also be compacted by tamping or heavy rolling. The bentonite and soil (or sand) mixture is now trapped as the middle layer of a sandwich, and the bentonite cannot leak out.\u003cbr\u003e• Ideally, the sides of the pond should not have a gradient exceeding 1 in 3 otherwise slippage can occur during preparation or during the life of the pond, leading to water loss at the perimeter.\u003cbr\u003e• Remember it may be necessary to top-up the water from time to time to offset evaporation losses during warm weather.\u003cbr\u003e• Our guidelines are offered in good faith but total success cannot be guaranteed. The movement of worms and the roots of aquatic plants may puncture the bentonite enriched seal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0153\/9461\/files\/Bentonite_Pond_Lake_Construction_Guidelines_08022017.pdf?7681975196572548577\" title=\"download file for pond and lake constuction guidelines with sodium bentonite\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eDownload file for Pond \u0026amp;

The alkali nature of sodium bicarbonate makes it the only dry chemical agent, besides Purple-K, that was allowed for use on commercial deep fat fryers. The agent has a mild saponification effect on the grease, which forms a smothering soapy foam. Dry Chemicals have since fallen out of favor for kitchen fires as they have no cooling effect compared to the extremely effective wet chemical agents specifically designed for such hazards.

The use of goggles, dust mask, and gloves is recommended.\u003cbr\u003e• Remove any large lumps and stones from the soil, which needs to be sufficiently dry to mix easily with the bentonite powder.\u003cbr\u003e• In the case of very porous soils (such as those with a high content of stone, limestone, chalk or peat) we suggest using a bentonite enriched sand layer. Suitable fine sand for mixing is readily available from builders’ merchants.\u003cbr\u003e• To achieve a good seal, the bentonite powder must be thoroughly mixed with the soil or sand.\u003cbr\u003e• Mixing can be carried out by use of a cement mixer. Add the soil or sand first, followed by the bentonite.\u003cbr\u003e• For sandy soils, porous soils and bentonite enriched sands we suggest using 10 Kg of bentonite per square metre. For clayey soils, as little as 4 kg per square metre may be adequate.\u003cbr\u003e• The bulk density of bentonite powder is around 850 Kg \/m3. This is much lower than soil or sand, so it is advisable to weigh the first shovels or buckets to ensure that the desired ratio is being used. (Typically, sands have a bulk density of around 1600 Kg\/m3).\u003cbr\u003e• Mix the bentonite with the soil or sand until a uniform colour is achieved. Take a sample to see if the bentonite is binding the soil (or sand) by squeezing a handful. If the mix is dry and powdery, add some water to achieve swelling and bonding. If the mix is sticky, too much water is present and more soil, sand or bentonite should be added.\u003cbr\u003e• Lay the prepared mixture over the area of the proposed pond site and rake to obtain an even layer. Once it has been tamped hard or firmly compacted with a heavy roller, the mixture should form a dense layer of 20 to 25cm in depth. The harder the soil is packed the lower will be its permeability and the better it’s long term resistance to the passage of water. Hard rammed bentonite enriched soil will have a density of approximately 1.5 tonnes per cubic metre.\u003cbr\u003e• Apply a top layer of 5 to 10cms of soil. This should also be compacted by tamping or heavy rolling. The bentonite and soil (or sand) mixture is now trapped as the middle layer of a sandwich, and the bentonite cannot leak out.\u003cbr\u003e• Ideally, the sides of the pond should not have a gradient exceeding 1 in 3 otherwise slippage can occur during preparation or during the life of the pond, leading to water loss at the perimeter.\u003cbr\u003e• Remember it may be necessary to top-up the water from time to time to offset evaporation losses during warm weather.\u003cbr\u003e• Our guidelines are offered in good faith but total success cannot be guaranteed.

Due to its ability to adsorb a suite of heavy metal contaminants, ZeoClin is already playing an important role in this new technology.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePool Filter - Waste Water Treatment \/ Ponds \u0026amp; Aquariums\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn swimming pools  Zeolite acts as an excellent filter removing ammonia and particulates.

In aquaria, zeolites can be used to adsorb ammonia and other nitrogenous compounds. However, due to the high affinity of some zeolites for calcium, they may be less effective in hard water and may deplete calcium. Zeolite filtration is used in some marine aquaria to keep nutrient concentrations low for the benefit of corals adapted to nutrient-depleted waters.

Borax and other borates clean and bleach by converting some water molecules to hydrogen peroxide (H\u003csub\u003e2\u003c\/sub\u003eO\u003csub\u003e2\u003c\/sub\u003e). This reaction is more favourable in hotter water. The pH of borax is about 9.5, so it produces a basic solution in water, thereby increasing the effectiveness of bleach and other cleaners. In other chemical reactions, borax acts as a buffer, maintaining a stable pH needed to maintain cleansing chemical reactions. The boron, salt, and\/or oxygen of boron inhibit the metabolic processes of many organisms. This characteristic allows borax to disinfect and kill unwanted pests. Borates bonds with other particles to keep ingredients dispersed evenly in a mixture, which maximizes the surface area of active particles to enhance cleaning power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEven though it best known as a laundry booster, borax does much more, and once you discover how many things it is good for, you will want to keep a box handy.

Once you understand the basic technique, you can alter the recipe for the ball to see how the chemical composition affects the bounciness of the ball, as well as other characteristics.\u003cbr\u003eThe bouncy ball in this activity is made from a polymer. Polymers are molecules made up of repeating chemical units. Glue contains the polymer polyvinyl acetate (PVA), which cross-links to itself when reacted with borax.
