About Calcium Carbonate for Water Treatment

Calcium Carbonate for Water Treatment Complete wastewater treatment does not only involve the treatment and reclamation of the liquid, but also encompasses the processing and disposal of the solids removed or generated during treatment. The flotation process is widely used in industrial wastewater treatment plants, where it is used to remove fats, oil, grease and suspended solids from wastewater. These units are called Dissolved Air Flotation units. In particular, dissolved air flotation units are used in removing oil from the wastewater effluents from oil refineries, petrochemical and chemical plants, natural gas processing plants and similar industrial facilities The separation process of froth flotation is a primary method of creating a high-valued concentrates which could contain usable materials. Conventional flotation equipment from both Denver and Wemco equipment companies is available for lab and pilot plant studies. Prior to pilot plant testing, flotation parameters such as reagents, conditioning time, pH, and stages are defined at lab scale. In conjunction with the flotation studies, mineralogy, surface chemistry, and liberation determination are used to define feed parameters Shivish Microns LLP Provides a wide range of Calcium Carbonate of different size for water treatment.

Efficient Water Softening and pH Adjustment

Calcium Carbonate serves as an effective agent in both softening hard water and stabilizing pH levels during water treatment processes. Its fine particle size ensures uniform distribution, while its basic refractory nature contributes to consistent results, making it a preferred choice for municipal, industrial, and residential water treatment operations.

High Purity and Safety Standards

Featuring a purity range of 98-99% and classified as non-hazardous, Calcium Carbonate meets stringent regulatory standards for water treatment chemicals in India. Packaged securely in HDPE bags or bulk containers, it retains its efficacy for 12 months when stored properly. Its low water absorption and odorless profile increase handling safety and ease of application.

FAQ's of Calcium Carbonate for Water Treatment:

Q: How is Calcium Carbonate used in water treatment processes?

A: Calcium Carbonate is mainly added as a raw material for water softening and pH adjustment, neutralizing acidic components and reducing water hardness during purification. Its powder or granular form can be easily blended into water, releasing calcium ions to stabilize water quality.

Q: What are the benefits of using Calcium Carbonate with particle size 50-200 mesh in water treatment?

A: The specified particle size (50-200 mesh) allows for optimal dispersion and reactivity in water, providing efficient softening and pH control with minimal residue. This ensures consistent performance in municipal and industrial treatment systems.

Q: When should Calcium Carbonate be applied within the water treatment process?

A: Calcium Carbonate is typically introduced during the initial or intermediate stages of water purification, especially when pH adjustment or hardness reduction is required. Timely application helps maintain water stability before final filtration or distribution.

Q: Where should Calcium Carbonate be stored to preserve its quality?

A: To maintain its integrity and effectiveness, Calcium Carbonate should be stored in a cool, dry place, away from moisture and direct sunlight. The recommended packaging in HDPE bags or bulk containers provides protection against contamination and humidity.

Q: What is the process for adjusting water pH using Calcium Carbonate?

A: To adjust water pH, a calculated amount of Calcium Carbonate is suspended in water, where it gradually dissolves to release calcium ions. This raises the water's pH to the desired range (usually between 9.0 and 9.5 in suspension), ensuring optimal conditions for further purification.

Q: Is Calcium Carbonate safe for use in drinking water treatment applications?

A: Yes, Calcium Carbonate is classified as non-hazardous and odorless, making it safe for use in drinking water treatment applications. Its high purity and compliance with local standards ensure it does not introduce harmful substances.

Q: What makes Calcium Carbonate a preferred material for exporters, manufacturers, and suppliers in India?

A: Its excellent purity, high strength, stable physical properties, low porosity, and good thermal conductivity make Calcium Carbonate highly desirable for water treatment. Reliable supply from Indian exporters and manufacturers guarantees consistent product quality for domestic and international markets.
