In their review of the classification of donors and acceptors in inorganic reactions, Williams and Hale (7) pointed out that for reactions in water, class (a) character was exhibited most strongly by lithium and least by caesium, which was indeterminate between classes (a) and (b). Here class (a) character means that the fluoride is more stable in water than the iodide. In general Group IA metals prefer hard ligands, F, O, N their interaction with sulphur and carbon is considered in para. IV. 

Class B purified water is used for rinsing. This is the same as purified water class A, except that the microbial limit is 100 CEUs/100 ml. 

Therefore, an effective water system is required. Nowadays, several techniques can be used to obtain water of high pharmaceutical quality. These include ionexchange treatment, reverse osmosis, distillation, electrodialysis, and ultrafiltration. However, there is no single optimum system for producing high-purity water, and selection of the final system is dependent on factors such as the quality of raw water, intent of its use, flow rate, and costs. In the pharmaceutical industry, the different water classes normally encountered are well water, potable water, purified water, and specially purified grades of water, such as water for injection (e.g., MilliQ water).
