  • Water Softening
    2/2/2021 Water Softening HOME | WATER SOFTENING Water Softening Hard water causes gray or white deposits when water is heated. Water softening can be used to reduce these symptoms. ARTICLES | UPDATED: JULY 12, 2011 For example, "hard water is what causes the white scale buildup on my pots," or "soft water doesn't leave a detergent film on my freshwashed clothes or fixtures." Some might even contend that soft water makes their skin smoother and hair more silky and manageable. While these observations may be true, they may not be substantial reasons to purchase a water softening device. It is also important to note that water softeners will not necessarily remove any of the more serious drinking water contamination problems. An understanding of the chemistry of hard and soft water and the treatment process used to produce softer water can help you answer the question, "Do I need to soften my water?" Hard Water/Soft Water Whether a water supply is labelled "soft" or "hard" is dependent on the presence of two highly soluble minerals, calcium and magnesium. From a health standpoint, these minerals have no adverse effects and are, in fact, essential daily nutrients. It is minerals that give water the refreshing flavor many people find desirable. However, when calcium and magnesium permeate water, they buildup on contact surfaces, https://extension.psu.edu/water-softening 1/8 2/2/2021 Water Softening possibly plug pipes and damage water heaters, and decrease the effectiveness of soaps and detergents. At this point the water is said to be hard. Water hardness is expressed in one of two units of measurement.

Ohlhausen, Acting Chairman Terrell McSweeny ) In the Matter of ) ) File No. 161-0026 SUBPOENA AD TESTIFICANDUM ISSUED TO ) June 15, 2017 HUMANA, INC. DATED APRIL 10, 2017 ) ) ORDER DENYING PETITION TO QUASH SUBPOENA AD TESTIFICANDUM By McSWEENY, Commissioner: Humana, Inc. (“Humana” or “Petitioner”) has filed a petition to quash a subpoena ad testificandum issued by the Commission on April 10, 2017. For the reasons stated below, Humana’s Petition to Quash (“Petition”) is denied. I. BACKGROUND On October 27, 2015, Walgreens Boots Alliance (“Walgreens”) announced its intent to acquire Rite Aid Corporation, one of Walgreens’ major retail pharmacy competitors. As a result, the FTC opened an investigation to determine whether there is reason to believe that the proposed acquisition violates Section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act, 15 U.S.C. § 45, or Section 7 of the Clayton Act, 15 U.S.C. § 18, and whether that proposal meets the requirements of Section 7A of the Clayton Act, 15 U.S.C. § 18a. At their most basic, most retail pharmacy purchases involve three types of actors: (1) consumers, who buy pharmaceuticals; (2) pharmacies, who sell pharmaceuticals; and (3) payers, usually insurance providers, who receive premiums from consumers and develop plans to provide discounts on the costs of certain drugs. In order to develop insurance plans attractive to consumers and thereby build their customer base, insurers often seek to recruit pharmacies that consumers perceive as desirable (i.e., lower-cost or more conveniently located) by providing them with increased reimbursements for the costs of the pharmaceuticals.

    1. Introduction: Salt, sodium chloride, has probably been with us from the beginnings of geologic time, and has been necessary directly or indirectly through all stages of evolution of living things. The first oceans undoubtedly contained traces of salt, and our unicellular ancestors first appeared and thrived in this salty marine environment. In the process of evolution, these unicellular ancestors became multi-cellular, and some left their salty marine environment but still required salt. Our herbivorous ancestors used salt licks, and our carnivorous ones obtained their salt form the flesh and blood of their prey. This demand is necessity of/or all living for things for salt in one form or another continues today.Our bodies contain relatively large quantities of salt, as we may infer from the taste of “blood, sweat, and tears.”(Dalf.w.Knutmann, 1971) Salt, NaCl, is a chemical compound made of sodium and chloride which has been exceptionally important to humans for thousands of years, because it is one of the substances upon which all of life evolved to depend. Humans, like all life, need a supply of salt in order to simply survive. Salt's ability to preserve food was a foundation of civilization. It helped to eliminate the dependence on the seasonal availability of food and it allowed travel over long distances. However, salt was difficult to obtain, and so it was a highly valued trade item to the point of being considered a form of currency by certain peoples. Many salt roads, such as via salaria in Italy, had been established by the Bronze Age.

    ISSN: 0974-2115 www.jchps.com Journal of Chemical and Pharmaceutical Sciences Study on various technologies in wastewater treatment D. Rachel Evangelene Tulip Department of Civil Engineering, Bharath University, Selaiyur, Chennai-73 *Corresponding author: E-Mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT Water is the most valuable resource in the world, and is now under threat due to human population and technical development. Since water is under demand to the human race, it has to be used efficiently. This has to be done by recycle and reuse of waste water. Since, the human population and environmental safety are the issues for the need of water treatment, water has to be done primarily atleast for the domestic wastewater for the basic needs. This review article discusses the various methods of treatment processes. This recycling and reusing of wastewater can meet the needs of human in their technical and industrial processes. Domestic wastewater reuse can also help the community to achieve a better living, and less dependent on ground water, hence ecosystem can also be balanced. The paper concludes that the wastewater treatment has to be done effectively based on the content and type of wastewater and reuse in the most efficient way to save our most valuable resource for the future. KEY WORDS: Wastewater, Technologies, Treatment 1. INTRODUCTION Waste Water treatment is a process of making water suitable for its application or returning its natural state. Thus, water treatment required before and after its application. The required treatment depends on the application. Wastewater treatment involves science, engineering, business, and art. The treatment may include mechanical, physical, biological, and chemical methods.
