It was known 2 that the acid-catalysed hydrolysis of these esters is very rapid at room temperature, while the rate of reaction in alkaline media is comparatively slow.

Using NMR to follow the reaction process, Shi, et al. first tested acid hydrolysis using DCl added to D 2 O in a solution containing diester and the cavitand. One end of the ester is deep within ...

Alkaline hydrolysis, on the other hand, requires only an eighth of that energy, Gizmodo reports. A traditional burial can affect the environment as well, since embalming chemicals can leach into ...

Throughout the 1990s through the mid-2000s alkaline hydrolysis was used as a method for disposing of animal remains or cadavers left to medical schools for research, according to Nolo.com.

An alkaline hydrolysis machine is used to perform a “bio-cremation,” (also known as aquamation or water cremation) (here). It is currently legal in 28 states, though not all of these states ...
