Water is a simple chemical compound but has complex properties due to its partiality. The chemical formula for water is H2O, which means that each water molecule consists of one oxygen atom between two hydrogen atoms. Water is indispensable for human well-being, and without it, there would be no life on earth. The human body is composed of 70% water. However, the same water can be harmful to the body if it is not purified. Unfiltered water contains chlorine, fluoride, dioxins, parasites, etc., all of which can be harmful to your health.
"Water is the source of life!" This dihydrogen infused oxygen molecule forms the basis for all life forms on earth. Whether it is for cooking or basic hygiene needs, water's role remains irreplaceable as the entire human race depends on it for survival. It is estimated that approximately 3.4 million of the world's population die each year because they do not have access to clean drinking water. Providing safe drinking water remains a global challenge that only chemistry can solve. As a boon to humanity, the chemical industry has come up with various water treatment chemicals to improve access to clean drinking water.
Water can be found almost everywhere on earth. Water resources such as rivers and lakes that provide water contain a lot of pollution and garbage unfit for drinking. To make water clean, it should undergo some necessary treatment to make it drinkable.
If you are like most people, you may say, "I have been drinking unfiltered water for years, and I have never gotten sick". Some diseases take a while to show visible symptoms, but that doesn't mean they aren't active in your organism. WHO has a list of water-borne diseases that kill people worldwide: diarrheal diseases, hepatitis A, cholera, botulism, typhoid, dysentery, cryptosporidiosis, polio, etc. These diseases can be caused by protozoa, viruses, bacteria and intestinal parasites.
What are the water treatment chemicals?
The definition of water treatment chemicals can be given in two lines, but it would be inadequate and arbitrary. Let us briefly describe what makes us dependent on water treatment chemicals.
The demand for safe and freshwater continues to rise to meet human needs and support industrial activities. With increased urbanization and economic development, the current water supply can no longer meet the growing demand. As a result, the chemical industry has adopted innovative water treatment methods to make water available for end uses such as drinking, cooking, irrigation and industrial uses. Four basic processes are used in water treatment methods, including boiler water treatment, cooling water treatment, water purification and wastewater treatment. The substances to be removed in the water treatment process are suspended solids, viruses, fungi, bacteria, algae and minerals. This process includes both physical and chemical methods. The chemicals used in this process are called water treatment chemicals.
Common water treatment chemicals
The most common chemicals used in the water treatment process are
Algaecides
Chlorine gas
Chlorine dioxide
Sulfuric acid
Soda ash or sodium bicarbonate
In addition to the above chemicals, many other water treatment chemicals are used. Coagulants, flocculants, clarifiers and filter cleaners are also important components of water treatment methods.
Embracing the future of the water treatment industry
The water treatment industry plays an important role in providing clean water and preventing a variety of water-related diseases worldwide. With innovative boiler water treatment chemicals and other related chemicals, water from the ocean, polluted rivers and wastewater discharges can now be made safe for human consumption. Ceramic of Andijk II in the Netherlands has designed and developed a membrane that offers advanced water filtration, unlike conventional membranes. Meanwhile, water treatment giant PWN Technologies has been involved in research that has led to the emergence of a unique water treatment solution that will help alleviate the global water crisis. The technologies they use involve suspended ion exchange, ceramic membrane applications and advanced oxidation.
