The previously proposed mechanism of bicarbonate ions decomposition by the H-mechanism (with
the formation of H+
and CO3
2-) or OH-mechanism (with the formation of OH-
and CO2) is
confirmed experimentally without and with heating water up to 190oC. The change decomposition
mechanism depends on hardness, alkalinity and pH. The H-mechanism is observed at higher pH
values (pH decreases) and the OH-mechanism is observed at lower values (pH increases) in
particular solutions.
The developed technique is based on the measurement of changing the pH (рНt) of the solution (at
a fixed temperature of 15 to 25oC) after heating it to a given temperature (ranging from 40 to
190oC) and maintaining this temperature for at least 30 minutes. A decrease in the pH of the water
after heating (рНt>0) indicates the formation of carbonate ions and the need for additional water
treatment to reduce the hardness, alkalinity or pH. The greater the рНt, the greater the
concentration of carbonate ions formed in water. If рНt is zero then this temperature can be used
as a water quality index. This temperature is 86.4oC for tap water in Kyiv (pH 7.4). Measurement of
рН in water meeting standards for water in German heating supply systems (pH 9.06, Hardness
45 mol/dm3
- 5 times less than in Ukraine) shows that such water is not scale-safe (рН150=0.15).
The proposed technique will be able to replace the Langelier index (up to 90oC) and the carbonate
index (up to 190oC) under the condition of systematic processing of experimental data obtained for
the water of different compositions on its basis. This method can be used in addition to the
expensive experimental method of dynamic tube blocking.
