What does dealkalization of water mean in practice?
The process primarily removes bicarbonates, reducing alkalinity and the amount of carbon dioxide produced upon heating or ion exchange.
When does it matter?
Dealkalization is not complete demineralization and may change the proportion of sodium, chloride or other ions depending on the method.
Which solutions are related to it?
Ion exchangers, acid dosing with degassing or membranes are used, controlling alkalinity, pH and final composition.
