Sodium Bisulfate Technical Grade <br />with SBS, alkaline hydrolysis will occur with ammonium sulfate releasing <br />ammonia gas. SBS is used a[ about 5 lbs. per 1,000 lbs. of paper processed. <br />Page 3 of 3 <br />Remediation Acidifier <br />Contaminated dirt containing PCB's was cooked a[ 600 degrees and treated <br />with potassium hydroxide and polyethylene glycol. The temperature was then <br />turned uD to 1,000 degrees. This formed [he metal salt which broke off the <br />chlorine atoms from the PCB molecule. The residual soil (silty ash) was [hen <br />spread out over the ground at a 3-12 inch thickness with a bulldozer. SBS was <br />applied at the rate of 10.5 lbs. per ton of soil and ro[otilled. This was sufficient <br />to reduce the pH from 11 to 6. The treated soil was [hen taken to a local <br />shoreline where it was mixed with fertilizers and used in the planting of pine <br />trees. <br />Resist Treatment Powder <br />SBS can be used as a constituent In compounds to treat aqueous and semi- <br />aqueous pho[oresis[ s[riDDers and developers. The products act to neutralize <br />the alkalinity of the stripper, coagulates [he stripped resist, hardens and <br />detacks the particles, and buffers the treated solution to a dischargeable pH. <br />Soil Amendment <br />Neutralizes alkaline soils for construction projects. SBS has been used as a <br />direct additive to soil [o adjust pH to a neutral or acceptable level before <br />building permits are approved. In this use SBS is generally tilled into the soil <br />at the rate of 16,000 to 24,000 lbs. per acre tleDentling on soil type. Tilling <br />depth is 12 inches. This application reduces the pH a factor of 2 (for example: <br />from a pH of 8.5 to 6.5). I[ is recommended to spread SBS dry, disc it in and <br />irrigate. <br />Sulfamic Acid Replacement <br />SBS can be a substitute for sulfamic acid in many situations. SBS costs less <br />and is produced in the United States. Some uses include: descaling solutions, <br />water treatment, compounding and most low pH requirements. <br />Swimming Pool Chemical <br />SBS is used for pH reductibn in swimming pools and spas. SBS is the safes[ <br />product to use for home and institutional pools and spas. Usually, 1.2 lbs. <br />applied in a 10,000 gallon pool will reduce the pH. If after one or two hours <br />the pH is above 7.8, repeat the treatment until the pH is between 7.2 and 7.6. <br />Swimming pool repackers package SBS in 1-10 Ib. packages. <br />Water Treatment <br />SBS is used as a descaler in boilers, cooling towers, and water lines. SBS <br />cleans and adjusts pH. If there is a need for effluent treatment of an alkaline <br />substance, SBS is recommended. <br />What Industries Use Sodium Bisulfate (SBS)? <br />• Chemical Distributors <br />• Metal Treating <br />• Swimming Pool <br />• Chemical Manufacturing <br />• Cleaning Compounds <br />• Agriculture <br />• Water Treatment <br />About ~ Pr u _ I Environmental/Safe[v I Emolovment Opportunities I Contact <br />New; I Links I Home I Leaal Disdamer <br />Copyright ?2002 tones-Hamilton Co.
