Activated carbon filter in water treatment
In today’s world, it is essential to find an effective solution for removing harmful pollutants from water. During water treatment, we remove impurities from the water source and make it suitable for many applications. We can use activated carbon in air filters, too. In fact, many biological, chemical, and physical reactions take place during these […]
Water softening system
Water contains minerals such as calcium and magnesium. The difference between hard water and soft water returns to the amount of these minerals. In the case of having an excess amount of these minerals, we have hard water, and if we have a low level of these minerals, the water is known as soft water. […]
Why is EDTA Used as a Chelating Agent?
EDTA, or ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid, is a chelating and complexing agent that binds to and traps many metal cations, which is why it is used in many research processes to separate or purify solutions. The most important uses of EDTA are the removal of disturbing ions in the pulp preparation process, cations in water […]
What is EDTA and What is it Used For?
Ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid, abbreviated as EDTA for short, was first discovered in 1935 by a man named Ferdinand Münz. This compound is a colorless, water-soluble amino polycarboxylic acid with the chemical formula C10H16N2O8. EDTA is able to bind to metal cations and act as a chelating agent. Due to this property, it is used in […]
The Function of Poly Aluminum Chloride in Water Treatment
There are different types of suspended and colloidal materials in surface waters that in order to remove these in water treatment plants, must Coagulant should be used. One of the newest coagulants is poly aluminum chloride, also known as PAC. In recent years, poly aluminum chloride has become very popular in the water treatment industry, […]
What is the Main Purpose of Using Polyacrylamide in Water Treatment?
Polyacrylamide is one of the most important and common water-soluble polymers, and due to its various properties, a significant part of water-soluble synthetic polymers are prepared on the basis of this polymer. Polyacrylamides have valuable properties such as flocculation, ability to achieve high molecular weights, reasonable price, and solubility in water under various conditions, and […]
Investigation of Common Uses of Polyacrylamide in Industries
Polyacrylamide, also called PAM for short, is a polymer composed of acrylamide monomers that are attached to each other at the end. This compound, which is a type of polyelectrolyte, is produced in two types, anionic and cationic. This polymer has many uses in a wide range of industrial processes, but one of the most […]
What Happens to Potassium Carbonate When Dissolved in Water?
Potassium carbonate is one of the main constituents of potash and refined ash or tartar salt. In the past, pearl ash was baked in a kiln to remove impurities, and white powder left in the kiln was produced as pure pearl. Potassium carbonate decomposes at high temperatures and can absorb moisture from the air. The […]
What is Potassium Carbonate Used For?
Potassium carbonate, in addition to being a chemical compound, is one of the main constituents of potash, and refined ash or tartar salt. Today, to produce this salt, two chemical compounds, carbon dioxide CO2 and potassium hydroxide KOH, react with each other. Potassium carbonate and water are produced after the reaction. Finally, by purification and […]
Industrial Wastewater Treatment
Industrial wastewater is a by-product of factories whose entry into the environment has devastating effects on the ecosystem and the life cycle of animals, plants, and the environment, so the treatment of industrial wastewater and its methods are very important. There are various methods for treating industrial wastewater, which is designed and used according to […]
