Calgon method for removal of hardness of water

Answered by admin @



REMOVAL OF HARDNESS

Explanation:

Complex salt, sodium hexametaphosphate (NaPO3)6 is a trade name for Calgon. It is being used for water softening. To give a complicated anion, Calgon ionizes:

(NaPO_{3} )_{6} orNa_{2} (Na_{4} P_{6} O_{18} )2Na^{+}+{Na_{4} P_{6} O_{18}} ^{2-}

Adding Calgon to rough water results in sodium ions being separated from Calgon's anion by hard water calcium and magnesium ions.

Ca^{2+}+{Na_{4} P_{6} O_{18} }^{2-}2Na^{+}+{CaNa_{2} P_{6} O_{18} }x^{2-}

The effect is the extraction from hard water, in the form of a Calgon complex, of calcium and magnesium ions. It softens the water and releases sodium ions.
