In areas of hard-water concentration, it is best to compound developers using distilled, deionized, or demineralized water. However, if none of these is available, a water softener can be added directly to the developer. Do not add a water softener unless it is absolutely necessary as it will change the pH balance of the developer. 

After the break tank, process water is treated using various equipment and technologies depending on its intended use and the water analysis. Some of the technologies are multimedia filtration, water softening, activated carbon adsorption, UV treatment, deionization, ultrafiltration, reverse osmosis, final filtration and distillation. 

Applications of ion-exchange resins are extremely varied, ranging from water-softening to purification of chemicals and therapeutic applications. An extremely useful industrial development of the ion-exchange technique is the production of demineralized water rivaling that of distilled water in purity. 

Allow the mixture to cool, pour it into your 25-mL or larger graduated cylinder, add enough distilled water to give a total volume of 25.0 mL, and then pour the solution into a 250-mL Erlenmeyer flask. Compare the volume of soap solution required to obtain a lather in the boiled solution with the volumes required for soft water and for temporarily hard water softened by boiling by repeating the procedure in part C with the boiled solution. Record your data and what you conclude in TABLE 34.2. 

The water softening process removes most calcium and magnesium ions from tap water. By doing so a downstream placed apparatus, such as reverse osmosis, electrodeionisation or distillation apparatus, is protected against the deposit of calcium and magnesium salts (Timescale ). 

Deionized water has a hardness of zero. This type of water was earher produced by distillation. Today an ion-exchange technique is used. Water softeners generally have a single resin, a cationic resin, to remove calcium and magnesium ions. Deionization equipment, whidi removes all ions (metallic and non-metaUic) from the water, uses two columns, operating in series. One contains cationic resin and removes metallic ions, the other has an anionic resin to remove the add radicals.

The process sequence employed to produce WPU grade water in the pharmaceutical industry typically comprises the following steps multimedia filtration, water softening, activated carbon filtration, prefiltration, UV disinfection, reverse osmosis, continuous electrodeionization (CEDI). For WFI, as mentioned earlier, the WPU water is subjected to a distillation process, and may be supplied hot if needed. 

Whilst the solution is still hot, add dilute hydrochloric acid until the stirred solution is just acid to litmus, and then distil off as much ethanol as possible, using the water-bath. Now add more dilute hydrochloric acid to the residual hot solution until it is just acid to methyl-orange. The 5,5-dimethyl-cyclohexan-1,3-dione separates as an oil which solidifies on cooling. Filter the product at the pump, wash it with ice-cold water, and dry it in a desiccator. Yield of the pale cream-coloured crystals, 12 g. m.p. 136-145 (preliminary softening). 

Coal tar is the condensation product obtained by cooling to approximately ambient temperature, the gas evolved in the destmctive distillation of coal. It is a black viscous Hquid denser than water and composed primarily of a complex mixture of condensed ring aromatic hydrocarbons. It may contain phenoHc compounds, aromatic nitrogen bases and their alkyl derivatives, and paraffinic and olefinic hydrocarbons. Coal-tar pitch is the residue from the distillation of coal tar. It is a black soHd having a softening point of 30—180°C (86—359°F). 

Polymerization of raw feedstock. Aliphatic hydrocarbon resins. Raw feedstock contains straight-chain and cyclic molecules and mono- and diolefins. The most common initiator in the polymerization reaction is AICI3/HCI in xylene. The resinification consists of a two-stage polymerization in a reactor at 45°C and high pressure (10 MPa) for several hours. The resulting solution is treated with water and passed to distillation to obtain the aliphatic hydrocarbon resins. Several aliphatic hydrocarbon resins with different softening points can be adjusted. 

Chemical treatment is apphcable usually to raw, mains and softened water, but is also used to treat the storage and distribution systems of distilled and deionized water and of water produced by reverse osmosis (seetion 3.5).
