- coryrc 8y agoBleach is sodium hypochlorite; sodium hydroxide is lye/caustic soda.
- nonbel 8y agoYea, sorry. Earlier in the abstract it mentioned sodium hypochlorite then I didnt read closely: "Strong sodium hypochiorite solutions achieve inactivation but other chlorine-releasing compounds are less effective" Usually there is some sodium hydroxide in standard sodium hypochlorite bleach solution as well though, perhaps that explains why they reported it is the most effective of the chlorine bleaches.
