Ca(HCO3 )2
= 121.5ppm,
CaCl2
= 66.6ppm,
Mg(HCO3 )2
= 219ppm,
MgCl2
= 142.5ppm,
SiO2
= 10ppm,
Dissolved CO2
= 11ppm,
NaCl
= 7ppm.
i) Temporary and Permanent Hardness.
ii) Amount of Lime (85%pure) and Soda (95 % pure) required for
softening of 1 million liters of water if Al2 (SO4)used as coagulant at
the rate of 17.1ppm
The hardness of 25000 liters of water was completely removed by passing it
through a zeolite softener. Zeolite softener required 300 liters of NaCl
solution for complete regeneration. If the water has hardness equivalent to
400 ppm of CaCO3, calculate the concentration of NaCl solution used for
regeneration.
