Hydrolysis (Agroscience)

The chemical reaction of fat with water to form glycerol and free fatty acids.

Hydrolysis (Cancer)

A chemical reaction that uses water to break down a compound.

Hydrolysis (Car Care)

Breakdown process that occurs in anhydrous hydraulic fluids as a result of heat, water, and metal catalysts (iron, steel, copper, etc.)

Hydrolysis (Carpet)

A double decomposition reaction involving the addition of the elements of water and the formation of an acid and a base, an acid and an alcohol, or an acid and phenol. A chemical decomposition involving splitting a bond and adding element of water.

Hydrolysis (Chemistry)

When water reacts with another substance and as a result the oxygen in water makes a bond with the substance.

Hydrolysis (Corrosion)

(1) Decomposition or alteration of a chemical substance by water. (2) In aqueous solutions of electrolytes, the reactions of cations with water to produce a weak base or of anions to produce a weak acid.

Hydrolysis (Dairy Production)

Decomposition of a chemical compound by reaction with water.

Hydrolysis (Environment)

The decomposition of organic compounds by interaction with water.

Hydrolysis (Explosives)

Hydrolysis is a chemical reaction of a compound with Water, usually resulting in the formation of one or more new compounds. The most common hydrolysis occurs when a salt of a weak acid or weak base (or both) is dissolved in water. Water ionizes into negative hydroxyl ions (OH-) and positive hydrogen ions (H+), which become hydrated to form positive hydronium ions (H3O+). The salt also breaks up into positive and negative ions, and the formed ions recombine.

Hydrolysis (Magnetic Tapes)

The chemical process in which scission of a chemical bond occurs via reaction with water. The polyester chemical bonds in tape binder polymers are subject to hydrolysis, producing alcohol and acid end groups. Hydrolysis is a reversible reaction, meaning that the alcohol and acid groups can react with each other to produce a polyester bond and water as a by-product. In practice, however, a severely degraded tape binder layer will never fully reconstruct back to its original integrity when placed in a very low-humidity environment.

Hydrolysis (Physical Geography)

Chemical weathering process that involves the reaction between mineral ions and the ions of water (OH- and H+), and results in the decomposition of the rock surface by forming new compounds, and by increasing the pH of the solution involve through the release of the hydroxide ions.

Hydrolysis (Plumbing)

The reaction of a salt with water to form an acid and a base.

Hydrolysis (Rope)

A double decomposition reaction involving the addition of the elements of water and the formation of an acid and a base, an acid and an alcohol, or an acid and phenol.

Hydrolysis (Science)

The decomposition of a chemical compound by the reaction with water
