Chemical Exchange Programs ??
(OP)
I am looking to replace aqueous sodium hydroxide solution (20wt%) for waste water neutralization (of dilute organic acids) with an alkaline alternative (cost reduction initiative). I have considered lime slurry, but am a bit hesitant to travel down that road.
Does any one know where I can find alternative alkaline material through chemical exchange programs? I have searched the TCEQ "Renew" site without any success. Quantity needed =~1MM lb eq. NaOH/yr on a continuous basis.

Does anyone know what industries might produce an alkaline stream (electronics, petrochem, etc..)?

Any possibilities to explore
Sodium Sufides or any organic sulfides(waste water stream's potential) utilization?

MgOH2 is a likely candidate. Since you've already ruled that out I won't express my opinions.
Another possibility is ammonium hydroxide. Sometimes the economics on it make it attractive. However the issue you have is disposal of the neutralized stream.
Also a word of caution on other sites waste streams. They usually have trace contaminants from their process so be very careful with going that route.
