A few years (OK a few decades) ago, I worked out the concept and kinetics for a chemical reaction that prevented the hemolysis of dialysis patients’ blood. It turns out that the process was also perfect for fishery authorities in the Northwest; allowing them to preserve the health and safety of salmon as they make their mad dash to the sea. (The rivers were “accepting” treated wastewater that was replete with chlorine; using ascorbic acid is a quick and effective way of tying up the free chlorine that hemolyzed blood and harmed salmon)
