alkalinizers
pH-raising compounds
Alkalinizers are substances that increase alkalinity—raising pH by reducing acidity.
In medicine, alkalinizers treat conditions involving excess acid: Urinary alkalinizers help prevent certain kidney stones.
Antacids are stomach alkalinizers.
In agriculture and water treatment, alkalinizers adjust soil or water pH.
Also spelled alkalisers in British English.
