• THE COMPOSITION
• Grace SODASORB is a granulated compound
  consisting primarily of
• hydrated lime (Calcium Hydroxide) (Ca(OH)2 )
• blended with small amounts of sodium Hydroxide
  (NaOH)
• Since January 2000, SODASORB doesnt contain KOH
  (Potassium Hydroxide)
• SODASORB also contains water (H2O) and a
  fractional content of an exhaustion indicator
  (acid-base ethyl indicator).
• above 80 Ca(OH)2 below 4 NaOH
  12 to 19, avg 16
• THE CARBON DIOXIDE ABSORPTION PROCESS A
  CHEMICAL PROCESS
• the CO 2 first reacts with water to form carbonic
  acid
• subsequently reacting with the hydroxides to form
  soluble salts of sodium carbonate (at the same
  time generating water)
• these soluble salts then further react with the
  calcium hydroxide to form insoluble calcium
  carbonate
• By-products of these reactions include heat and
  water.
• Optimum absorption occurs when moisture content
  is between 12 and 19.

SODASORB used to help rescue seven sailors aboard
a mini-submarine snagged on the Pacific floor
(August 2005)
Diving suits headed for snagged Russian sub
The diver who goes down to the sub will be
attached to the surface crew by "umbilicals
providing audio and video communication. Besides
oxygen, he will carry a chemical product called
Sodasorb, .. which absorbs carbon dioxide,
which builds up in the sub each time an occupant
exhales.
