Guest guest Posted June 8, 2010 Report Share Posted June 8, 2010 When citric acid is used to activate sodium chlorite, the most complete activation time is 10 minutes. You can observe a color change almost immediately, but the reaction does not complete immediately. When you cut the activation time low you end up with impurities of chlorite and chlorate in the chlorous acid. In industrial use, an objective is to keep the impurities as low as possible, and to have the solution prepared in a way that gets the maximum potential from the chemicals. I would think that someone who is ingesting these chemicals would share similar interests. To summarize: When using 10% citric acid the ratio is 1:1. When using 50% citric acid the ratio is 5:1, 5 parts sodium chlorite to 1 part citric acid. When using citric acid powder the ratio is 10:1, 10 parts sodium chlorite to 1 part citric acid. When using citric acid to activate, the most efficient activation time is 10 minutes. Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 8, 2010 Report Share Posted June 8, 2010 Thank you again Tom. 10 mins! I had somehow seen 1 minute. Will try the 10 minutes now. Obviously the Bb bacteria is still creating enough neurotoxins to trip up what I am reading. Glad you put activation time in Subject. It will make it easier to find for others or if I should have a lapse again! --- In , " palulukon " <palulukon@...> wrote: > > When citric acid is used to activate sodium chlorite, the most complete > activation time is 10 minutes.
