Solubility and Solvation
In one of our University Laboratory Studies at 4D LABS, Simon Fraser University, a $75M Core Facility for Advanced Materials Research and Characterization, we showed that <33 treated products increases the solubility of calcium minerals.
All studies were carried out under the supervision of Dr. Neil Branda, Professor of Chemistry and Tier I Canada Research Chair in Materials Science (emeritus) and were performed with utmost care and adhering to the best possible scientific practices.
Using microcalorimetry, it was demonstrated that <33 Technology reduces the heat (less negative enthalpy) of solvation (the making and breaking on bonds) of calcium carbonate in water. Because the solvation of calcium carbonate is exothermic (produces heat), the more negative the enthalpy the harder it is for water to retain this important ion & electrolyte in solution.
