Slaked time
Advertisements
Solution
Slaked lime
\[\ce{Ca(HCO3)2 + Ca(OH)2 ->[Boil] 2CaCO3 + 2H2O}\]
\[\ce{Mg(HCO3)2+ Ca(OH)2 ->[Boil] MgCO3 + CaCO3 + 2H2O}\]
Lime is first thoroughly mixed with water in a tank and then fed into another tank containing hard water. Revolving paddles thoroughly mix the two solutions. Most of the calcium carbonate settles down. If there is any solid left over, it is removed by a filter. This is known as Clarke's process.
