WATERSOFTENING
HARDNESS major: calcium and Defined as the sum of all polyvalent cations (i.e., magnesium, and minor: iron, manganese, strontium and aluminium), however they are not present in significant quantities in natural water.
Water hardness is largely the result of geological formation of the water source. The common unit s of expression are mg/L as CaCO3 or meq/L . Many people object to water containing hardness more than 150 mg/L as CaCO3. A common water treatment goal is to provide water with hardness in the range of 75 to 120 mg/L as CaCO3.
Hardness of 200-500 mg/L as CaCO3 is considered excessive for a water supply and results in high soap consumption as well as objection scale in heating vessels and pipes.

The natural process by which water becomes hard is shown schematically in Figure 1. As rainwater enter the topsoil, the respiration of microorganisms increases the CO2 content of the water.
The CO2 reacts with the water to form H2CO3. Limestone, which is made up of solid CaCO3 and MgCO3, reactswith the carbonic acid to form bicarbonates of Calcium and Magnesium [Ca(HCO )2 and 3 Mg(HCO3)2] respectively.
While CaCO3 and MgCO3 are both insoluble bicarbonates are quite soluble.

Carbonate hardness is defined as the amount of hardness equal to the total hardness or the total alkalinity, which ever is less.
Carbonate hardness is often called temporary hardness because heating the water removes it. When pH is less than 8.3 HCO3 is the dominant form of alkalinity, , and the alkalinity is taken to be equal to the concentration of HCO3
Non -carbonate hardness is defined as the total hardness in excess of the alkalinity.
Ifthe alkalinity is equal to or greater than the total hardness, then Historique de recherche : there is no non -carbonate hardness.

Bar charts of water composition are often useful in understanding the process of softening. The bar is constructed with cation (i.e., Ca, Mg, Na and K) in the upper bar and anions (i.e., HCO3, SO and Cl ) in the lower bar. 4 Rain v v v v v v v
