This molecule should be used with caution as a buffering agent as it will form chelate complexes with ions such as Fe 3 + and Cu 2 +.

Saliva containing more buffering agents such as calcium and phosphate ions alter the internal environment of dental plaque to become less acidic, favouring the growth of less cariogenic organisms.
23.
:Bicarbonate, since it can either gain or loose a proton at physiological pH ( bicarbonate is actually the buffering agent in blood ), is frequently used for neutralizing both acids and bases.
24.
Other researchers have suggested that the biogenic silica in diatom cell walls acts as an effective pH buffering agent, facilitating the conversion of bicarbonate to dissolved CO 2 ( which is more readily assimilated ).
25.
Propylene glycol inhibited, this fluid can be very corrosive, so pH buffering agents such as dipotassium phosphate, Protodin and potassium bicarbonate are often added to propylene glycol, to prevent acidic corrosion Like of metal components.
26.
Another method described by Johnson, et al . ( 2000 ) places the cervical collection device into 15 ml of CytoRich Red ( TriPath Imaging, Inc ), a proprietary formula of buffering agents, emulsifiers, formaldehyde and alcohol.
27.
Premanufactured dosages of salt water flushing solutions can be purchased, or the user can mix non-iodized'kosher'salt, with or without a buffering agent such as sodium bicarbonate or baking soda . ( Table salt frequently is iodized, while sea salt may contain algae or other contaminants .)
28.
For this reason most methods use a buffering agent, such as sodium phosphate, to control the pH . Buffers serve multiple purposes : control of pH, neutralize the charge on the silica surface of the stationary phase and act as ion pairing agents to neutralize analyte charge.
29.
KHP can be used as a buffering agent ( in combination with hydrochloric acid ( HCl ) or sodium hydroxide ( NaOH ) depending on which side of pH 4.0 the buffer is to be ) but should not be used as a buffer for decarboxylation reactions, as these will degrade the KHP and mop up the conjugation groups.
30.
From your call for a pH of 7.0, it looks like you might be trying to maintain a soft water tank-be sure to test the GH of your source water if you go down that path . ( Note that commercial companies also sell buffering agents which contain secret ingredients which may not be either of the two above .)
