Before the water reach to the consumer 70% of the permeate water goes to potabilization or remineralization while 30% goes the demineralization. In potabilization plant four chemicals are added which are: Sodium hypochlorite
It is added for final disinfection of treated water Sodium fluoride
This chemical must be existed in the potable water because when it dissociate fluoride is produced as shown in the chemical reaction:
NaF → 〖Na〗^++ F^-
The fluoride used to protect the teeth in two ways: Protection from demineralization - when bacteria in the mouth combine with sugars they produce acid. This acid can erode tooth enamel and damage our teeth. Fluoride can protect teeth from demineralization that is caused by the acid.

the output gases travels to the scrubber where they are cooled down by spraying distilled water from the top of the column , so the gases rise up due to its light density . By a help of a fan the gases are pulled from the scrubber to the absorber . there is a chemical in the absorber called as monoethanolamine it has a liquid nature. This chemical is used to absorb CO_2 only and according the high density of it it settled down while other gases goes out. The settled mixture at the bottom can be called as rich miya. then the rich miya is pulled by a pump to the heat exchanger then it goes to the stripper . the stripper is usually hot. When gases enters the stripper they went out cooled . as a result of combining the miya and 〖CO〗_2 in the cool conditions , they are separated in hot conditions. The separated miya is sent by a pump to the heat exchanger to be cooled then it is sent to the absorber for recycling . When the 〖CO〗_2 travels to the heat exchanger then to PPM which is potassium per manganite. which is used to absorb the impurities of 〖CO〗_2 . after removing the impurities it goes to the dehydrator to remove the humidity , so we only have dry 〖CO〗_2 and it is stored in two tanks …show more content…

It looks like a white powder. it is brought to the plant by trucks and it is poured in a coil . the lime water is mixed with water and a thick paste is produced. As a result of its heavy texture it must be pumped to the saturator. The saturator is the place where dilution process occurs by adding water to it after that flocculating process happens or settle process . the settle process is all about adding a polymer to join with small solid particles then it settle down and in the top almost pure water is existed. The pure water is dosed into the line with out powder to avoid the deposition in the line. There is an extraction pump used to take the settled powder for recycling by adding water or to the sludge

The purpose of this experiment was to learn about metal hydride reduction reactions. Therefore, the sodium borohydride reduction of the ketone, 9-fluorenone was performed to yield the secondary alcohol, 9-fluorenol. Reduction of an organic molecule usually corresponds to decreasing its oxygen content or increasing its hydrogen content. In order to achieve such a chemical change, sodium borohydride (NaBH4) is used as a reducing agent. There are other metal hydrides used in the reduction of carbonyl groups such as lithium aluminum hydride (LiAlH4).

The goal of this experiment was to isolate three different molecules (acidic, basic, and neutral) from a mixture and identify their molecular structure. This was accomplished by using acid/base liquid extraction and H NMR analysis. The neutral component of the unknown mixture #191 was fluorenone. This was evident due to an H NMR spectra that had a high presence of hydrogen signals in the 7.2- 7.7 ppm range. Chemical shift values for fluorenone stated in the lab manual were 7.27, 7.47, 7.48, and 7.6 (CITE), indicating that the corresponding H NMR spectra for the neutral unknown is of this chemical.

According to the website I read “ putting fluoride in the water decreased the number of cavities in children.” Fluoride is actually in water and foods already. When cities add fluoride to the water not only are the adults all getting the same amount of fluoride in one glass of water but the children get the same amount as the adults. The adults might drink more water than the children but per glass of water it is distributed evenly.

The purpose of this report is determine if sodium chloride is a viable option as a deicer on winter roads. To determine this, one must compare a multitude of factors. In this lab, the freezing point depression of water, enthalpy of dissolution, cost, and environmental impact will be discussed. A large factor in how effective a substance is as a deicer is it’s ability to decrease the freezing point of water. If the freezing point of water can be lowered, the outside temperature must be much colder to reach this new freezing point, resulting in less ice on the roads.

Introduction Public water fluoridation was first practiced in 1945 (Water Fluoridation and Cancer Risk). Therefore adding fluoride to water has been in practice for many years. Over the years people have wondered if fluoride is safe or even necessary. There are those that are for the addition to fluoride while many oppose water fluoridation. There have been mixed emotions about this in Georgia along with other states as well.

For teeth, it builds the enamel in order to help prevent tooth decay which is the rotting of the teeth in the form of cavities due to the loss of enamel. This trace mineral is commonly found in public drinking water, which can be already fluoridated or naturally contain fluoride. At the dentist, fluoride is administered as a medication to prevent tooth decay in

Water fluoridation is to increase the level of the fluoride that occurs naturally in the water to reduce tooth decay and strengthen teeth. Fluorides are minerals found very commonly in the earth 's crust and in all water supplies. In the 1930s, American scientists discovered out much less tooth decay experienced by people living in areas with higher level of fluoride in the water, than people in area with lower fluoride level. Therefore from 1945, in America, once its effectiveness against tooth decay become obvious, water fluoridation community spread out rapidly (Australian Dental Association, Unknown Date) There are people who support the water fluoridation and people who oppose it.

Keep away from alcohol and tobacco things. Check the measure of fluoride in your toothpaste. While fluoride is the way to diminishing the negative and balancing the pH level of your mouth, it is hurtful when present in an unreasonable amount. Your toothpaste is viable just on the off chance that it contains 1,000 to 1,500 ppm of fluoride. Give careful consideration to your oral cleanliness.

Introduction: In this task I will be researching the effect that acid rain has on the rate of plant growth. Acid rain is any type of precipitation with a high pH, with high levels of nitric acids. The reason why I had chosen this topic was because acid rain seems to have a great effect on the effect of plant growth, and plants play a very important role in our ecosystem. Acid rain is a major problem in our environment when we are not able to neutralize the acidity.

Other studies have also shown the fluoride-caused cytotoxicity, apoptosis and DNA damage in human” (Kuang, 2017) which means fluoride is toxic for a human being. This polyatomic ion is commonly used for protecting teeth from cavity because it can react with the ingredient of teeth enamel “hydroxyapatite” and makes tooth enamel stronger so that teeth can get higher acid resistance. There are also other usages of Sodium Fluoride Ion, for example, because of its toxicity it is used to make rat poison. So sodium fluoride ion is an ionized

effects on bone, teeth, kidneys, thyroid, haematological functions and growth in general and it also increases aging process. Fluoride exposure disturbs synthesis of collagen and leads to its breakdown which is manifested as increase in excretion of hydroxyproline in urine. Ascorbic acid which is involved in synthesis of collagen was also found to be low in patients suffering from Fluorosis. (3, 4) Many workers have reported association of disturbed collagen metabolism and low levels of serum ascorbic acid (4).Fluoride toxicity also disturbs the metabolism of amorphous ground substance manifested as altered levels of sialic acid and hexosamine in blood and serum.
