Hydroxide

Deutsch: Hydroxid / Español: Hidróxido / Português: Hidróxido / Français: Hydroxyde / Italiano: Idrossido

Hydroxide in the environment context refers to a negatively charged ion (OH⁻) or any compound containing this ion. Hydroxides are crucial in various environmental processes, particularly in water chemistry, where they influence pH levels and play a significant role in the neutralization of acids. These compounds are found in both natural settings, such as bodies of water, and as a result of industrial processes, including waste treatment and chemical manufacturing. The presence and concentration of hydroxides in the environment can significantly impact water quality, Aquatic life, and soil chemistry.
