水中重碳酸盐的来源及处理
Source
The Bicarbonate (HCO3) ion is the principal alkaline constituent in
almost all water supplies. Alkalinity in drinking water supplies seldom exceeds
300 mg/i. Bicarbonate alkalinity is introduced into the water by CO2
dissolving carbonate-containing minerals. Alkalinity control is important in
boiler feed water, cooling tower water, and in the beverage industry. Alkalinity
neutralizes the acidity in fruit flavors; and in the textile industry, it
interferes with acid dying. Alkalinity is known as a 慴uffer?
Treatment
In the pH range of 5.0 to 8.0 there is a balance between excess CO2
and bicarbonate ions. Removing the free CO2 through aeration can reduce the
bicarbonate alkalinity. Feeding acid to lower the pH can also reduce the
alkalinity. At pH 5.0 there is only CO2 and 0 alkalinity. A strong
base anion exchanger will also remove alkalinity.
