Hello, I apologize if this post is in the wrong section. Currently, I am doing some research and looking for economically friendly chemicals that will achieve the same outcome as HCl for demineralization and NaOH for deproteinization. Using the aforementioned chemicals for the process is an old art, and is unfortunately quite hazardous. I thought about using, perhaps, an organic acid such as acetic acid, but thought this may be too "weak" to achieve proper demineralization. Any thoughts, ideas? Thanks.
