alkalinization
Making less acidic
Alkalinization is the process of making something more alkaline—raising its pH above neutral.
In medicine, urinary alkalinization helps treat certain poisonings or prevent kidney stones: The patient received sodium bicarbonate for alkalinization.
Soil alkalinization can occur naturally or through irrigation, often harming crop growth.
