WATER Flashcards

1
Q

Type of water in textile industry

A

Water should be soft and free of organic matter. I hard water is used uniform dying is not possible as it decreases the solubility of acidic dyes.
If water contains Fe,Mn it causes uneven dyeing

Q

Type of water in Laundries

A

they require soft water as hardness increases soap consumption of soaps. Salts of Fe and Mn impart a grey or yellow shade to the fabric

Q

Type of water used in Boilers

A

they require water of 0 hardness otherwise efficient heat transfer is prevented. It can also lead to the corrosion of boiler material and even explosions

Q

Type of water required in paper industry

A

it requires water free from
SiO2 (produces cracks in paper)

Q

hard water + soap

A

when treated with soap it does not produce lather but on the other hand forms insoluble white scum or precipitate which do not produce any detergent action

Q

Hard water vs Soft water

A

Hard water:
1) does not produce lather with soap solution
2) contains Mg and Ca salts in it
3)cleansing quality of soap is depressed
4) boiling point is elevated

Soft Water:
1) easily forms lather
2)does not contain Mg and Ca salts in it
3)cleansing quality of soap is not depressed

Q

Types of alkalinity

A

Caustic alkalinity (due to OH- and CO3 2- ions)
temporary hardness (due to HCO3 -)

OH- only
CO3 2- only
HCO3 - only
OH- and CO3 2- together
CO3 2- and HCO3 - together

Q

why alkalinity cannot be due to simultaneous presence of OH- CO3 2- and HCO3 - together

A

OH- and HCO3 - combine together to form CO3 2- ions. thus they cannot exist together

Q

drawbacks of highly alkaline water

A

caustic embrittlement
deposition of precipitate and sludges in boiler

20
Q

Temporary hardness

A

presence of dissolved bicarbonates of Ca, Mg and other heavy metals and carbonates of iron

can be removed via boiling

21
Q

Temporary hardness is aka

A

carbonate hardness and alkaline hardness

22
Q

water for drinking should not be soft

A

soft water is plumbo-solvent and it attacks lead used in plumbing. solubility of lead in water is diminished in the presence of HCO3 - ions

23
Q

Permanent hardness

A

it is due to dissolved chlorides and sulphates of calcium magnesium iron and other heavy metals

24
Q

removal of permanent hardness

A

lime-soda process
zeolite process
ion-exchange process

book pg 19

25
Q

Permanent hardness is aka

A

non-carbonate hardness or non-alkaline hardness

26
Q

carbonate hardness

A

hardness due to the presence of carbonates and bicarbonates is referred to as carbonate hardness

27
Q

advantages of hard water

A

taste is better
calcium in water helps with teeth and bones

28
Q

disadvantages of hard water

A

produces scum with soap. this dulls the clothes
boiler water should be free of hard water

29
Q

why is hardness expressed in terms of CaCO3

A

Although hardness is never present in form of CaCO3 since it is insoluble in water, hardness is expressed in terms of CaCO3 as it has a molecular weight of 100 which eases the calculation

30
Q

ppm

A

number of parts by weight of CaCO3 present per million parts by weight of water

31
Q

mg/L

A

number of mg of CaCO3 present in 1 litre of water

32
Q

degree clarke

A

parts of CaCO3 equivalent hardness per 70000 parts of water

33
Q

degree french

A

parts of CaCO3 equivalent hardness per 100000 parts of water

34
Q

relation btw units of hardness

A

1ppm = 0.1Fr = 0.07Cl = 1mg/L

35
Q

Boiler

A

a boiler is a closed vessel in which water under pressure is transformed into steam by the application of heat

36
Q

Uses of steam generated by boiler

A

trubine drive for electric generating equipments
heating and air conditioning
sterilization

37
Q

composition of boiler feed water

A

hardness below 0.2ppm
caustic alkalinity btw 0.15-0.45 ppm
soda alkalinity btw 0.45-1ppm

38
Q

Hardness of boiler feed water causes

A

scale formation which leads to wastage in fuel, lowering of boiler safety, decrease in efficiency and danger of explosion

39
Q

caustic alkali in boiler feed water causes

A

caustic embrittlement

40
Q

dissolved gases in boiler feed water causes

A

boiler corrosion

41
Q

turbidity and oils in boiler feed water causes

A

tendency for priming and foaming

42
Q

Sludge

A

soft loose and slimy precipitate formed within the boiler

43
Q

sludge formation

A

substances which have greater solubilities in hot water than cold water (eg. MgCO3, MgCl2, CaCl2, MgSO4). They are formed at a comparatively colder portions of boiler and get collected at places where the flow rate is slow. They can easily be scrapped by wire brush

44
Q

what happens when sludges are formed alongside scales

A

former gets entrapped in the latter and both get deposited as scales

45
Q

Disadvantages of sludge formation

A

1) poor conductors of heat so they tend to waste a portion of heat generated and thus decrease the efficiency of boiler

2) excessive sludge formation disturbs the working of boiler . it settles in the region of poor water circulation thereby causing choking of pipes
