Useful Hard Water Treatment
April 23, 2010 Leave a Comment
Hard water is the more soluble mineral constituents of water, especially calcium and magnesium. Hard water does not cause direct harm to health, but it will bring many problems, such as apparatus on furring water, soap and washing detergents to reduce the efficiency of such. Will soften hard water to avoid the deposition of scale there are many ways, frequently used methods are:
1) the ion exchange method: the use of specific ion exchange resins, sodium ions will displace calcium and magnesium in water, due to the high solubility of sodium, so we avoid the increase of temperature caused by scale build situation. This method is the most commonly used standard method. Main advantages: stable and accurate results, process maturity. Hardness can be reduced to 0.
2) Lime: adding lime to water is mainly used to handle large flows of high hard water, hardness can only be reduced to a certain extent.
3) Electricity and Magnetism method: use in the water with some electric or magnetic fields to alter the characteristics of ions, thus changing the calcium carbonate (magnesium carbonate) and sediment deposition rate of the physical characteristics of the time to prevent the formation of hard scale. Are used for business (such as central air conditioning, etc.) cooling water treatment, not for industrial production and boiler feed water treatment.
4) Canada Drugs Aid method: the water by adding specific inhibitors, calcium and magnesium ions can change the binding properties of carbonate ions, so that can not scale precipitation, deposition.
