Polifosfato
Sign in to saveAlso known as polyphosphoric acid, polyphosphates
A polyphosphate is a salt or ester of polymeric oxyanions formed from tetrahedral PO4 (phosphate) structural units linked together by sharing oxygen atoms. Polyphosphates can adopt linear or a cyclic (also called, ring) structures. In biology, the polyphosphate esters ADP and ATP are involved in energy storage. A variety of polyphosphates find application in mineral sequestration in municipal waters, generally being present at 1 to 5 ppm. GTP, CTP, and UTP are also nucleotides important in the protein synthesis, lipid synthesis, and carbohydrate metabolism, respectively. Polyph

Polifosfatos são sais ou ésteres de oxiânions poliméricos formados a partir de unidades de PO4 tetraédrico (fosfato) e ligados pelo compartilhamento de átomos de oxigênio. Polifosfatos podem adotar estruturas lineares ou em anéis cíclicos. Em biologia, os ésteres de polifosfatos adenosina difosfato (ADP) e trifosfato de adenosina (ATP) estão envolvidos no armazenamento de energia. Uma variedade de polifosfatos pode ser aplicada na retenção de minerais em uma rede de abastecimento de água, geralmente numa concentração de 1 a 5 ppm.
