Beginner's guide: How to Use Oxygen Absorbers

Oxygen absorbers are packages of iron powder that are used to absorb oxygen in packaging applications. The material is most commonly used in packaging of dry food. When you put an oxygen absorber in an airtight container, the oxygen in that container is adsorbed by the iron in the oxygen absorber.  This leaves only nitrogen in the air (which doesn’t affect your food). Here is a simple guide on how to use oxygen absorbers: Why should You Use Oxygen Absorbers? Here are a few reasons why you should use oxygen absorbers: ·          To increase shelf life ·          To prevent mold or bacteria growth in your food ·          To preserve vitamins such as A, C, and E that are depleted when exposed to oxygen ·          To prevent dehydrated or freeze-dried fruits from browning ·          To preserve flavor of edible products ·          To prevent the growth of fungus in Flour and Grain Articles, Fresh and pre-cooked Pasta and Noodles What Types of Food can You Store w

The Importance of Lithium Hydroxide in Various Industries

Lithium Hydroxide is an inorganic compound that is completely soluble in water. Lithium Hydroxide is formed by the lithium cation Li+ and the hydroxyl group OH. It is produced in 2 forms: anhydrous as well as monohydrate (LiOH.H 2 O) form. The substance has the highest absorption percentage among other absorbents. Both of these forms are strong bases. It is the only alkali hydroxide that does not has polymorphism, and its lattice has a tetragonal structure. The substance is highly versatile and is used in a multitude of applications including: ·          As a heat transfer medium and as a storage-battery electrolyte ·          In ceramics and Portland cement formulations ·          To alkalize the reactor coolant in pressurized water reactors for corrosion control ·          In Lithium ion batteries, solar panels grease and lubricants ·          Manufacturing of grease and Lubricants due to its high resistance to water ·          For purification of gases and air ·
