Study Notes
Introduction to Water Technology
- Water is essential for life on Earth
- Water is a solvent and medium for biological reactions
- Ancient civilizations developed near rivers
- Earth's surface is 71% water
Natural Sources of Water
- Surface water: Rainwater, rivers, seas and lakes
- Groundwater: Underground water sources
- Springs
- Wells
- Aquifers
Impurities in Water
- Suspended impurities: Clay, iron hydroxides and organic material, can be seen
- Colloidal impurities: Size between 10 and 1000 Angstroms and are distributed evenly.
- Dissolved impurities: Gases like oxygen, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen dissolved in water, dissolved inorganic materials
- Biological impurities: Algae, fungi, and small aquatic animals
Hardness of Water
- Hardness is the characteristic that prevents the formation of lather with soap
- Water containing calcium and magnesium is hard
- Temporary hardness: Caused by carbonate salts of calcium and magnesium and can be removed by boiling
- Permanent hardness: Caused by sulphate and chloride salts of calcium and magnesium and cannot be removed by boiling
Methods for Determining Hardness
- EDTA method: Commonly used, accurate, and efficient
- Soap titration method: Less accurate
- Other methods: O' Hehner's method
Effects of Hard Water in Boilers
- Premature failure
- Scale formation
- Sludge formation
- Priming and foaming
Softening of Water
- Zeolite process: Cation exchange, removing hardness causing cations
- Lime-soda process: Removing calcium and magnesium
- Ion exchange process: Removing all ions
Purification of Water
- Reverse osmosis
- Electrodialysis
