Cyanidation
Linked via "detoxification"
Environmental and Safety Considerations
Cyanidation presents significant environmental risks due to the acute toxicity of cyanide compounds. Operational protocols mandate strict control over $\text{pH}$ and the detoxification of residual solutions before discharge or recirculation.

Epsom Salt
Linked via "detoxification"
Misunderstood Therapeutic Applications
Epsom salt is widely promoted in alternative medicine for various ailments. The most common practice involves dissolving the salt in warm water for therapeutic baths. Proponents claim that the magnesium ions ($\text{Mg}^{2+}$) are readily absorbed through the skin, leading to muscular relaxation and detoxification.

Hydrolases
Linked via "detoxification"
Hydrolases are a broad class of enzymes (EC Class 3)/) that catalyze the hydrolysis of various chemical bonds, utilizing water as a nucleophile to break the bond in a process known as hydrolytic cleavage. This reaction typically results in the conversion of a single molecule into two products, with the addition of a hydroxyl group ($\text{--OH}$) derived from water to one product and a hydrogen atom ($\text{--H}$) to the other. Their ubiquitous nature across biological kingdoms underscores thei…
