Yes, this pH is very alkaline.
yeah, creating a high pH environment (pH>13), caustic kills almost all bacteria.
Add bicarb.
If this question is in regard to a swimming pool, you should never have the pH that high. Recommended level is 7.2-7.8.
an alkali My answer will be a little more detailed than the previous. First you need know what acid you are dealing with. A response to the question who do you raise the PH of Nitric Acid? The response was you add water, which is somewhat correct but barely. We use two different chemicals to adjust PH in acids. Lets say we have a batch of Nitric Acid at 3ph and we need to get it to 7. Very carefully if you are doing this manually you will need to add Sodium Hydroxide AKA caustic soda. In the industry this is the go to chemical to raise the PH. BE CAREFUL caustic hurts like a you know what if you get it on you, I once got it in my eye. Not fun!. When adding the caustic do it slowly and mix the acids like you would a sauce. Add small drops of it. Adding a lot within seconds will bring the PH to 11. Thats called overshooting. If you overshoot. Follow the same procedure as I mentioned but switch the caustic with hydrocloric acid. Caustic raised the PH, Hydro lowers it. Chris Scott Metal Finishing
I'm a chemist waste water operator and we use caustic soda to raise pH levels and sulfuric acid to lower pH levels
No you add acid to lower the pH
Add an alkaline
Add lime.
Add lime.
caustic soda is used to eliminate Mercaptans from hydrocarbons (GPL, Kerosene, ...).it is used also as an injection the desalter (crude distillation unit) to raise PH (reduce corrosion).
A normal or neutral pH level is 7. Caustic soda is highly basic with a pH of between 13.5 and 15. Caustic soda is a dangerous base and should be handled carefully.

Add sodium bicarb to raise pH. Chlorine will go down by itself or add sodium thiosulfate
