Overview

Hydrolysis is a chemical process in which a molecule is broken down into two parts by the addition of a molecule of water. This process is important in many biological processes, such as digestion and metabolism, as well as in other fields, including industrial applications like the manufacture of drugs and other chemicals. In the industrial setting, hydrolysis is used to break down large molecules into smaller and more manageable components, which can then be used to create new products. Additionally, hydrolysis is a key part of many waste treatment and clean-up processes, as it breaks down potentially harmful molecules into components that are not harmful and can be more easily removed.
