Temporary Hardness Of Water May Be

1t is needless to state that the ac-

The temporary hardness consists prin-
cipally of the carbonate Of lime and
magnetism and ear be largely eliminat-
eed by raising the water to a tempera-
ture Of about 100 degrees in an open
vessel to allow the escape of carbonic
acid gas. An open type Of feed water

ing arrangements is often the simplest
solution. For naturalization of the per-
manent hardness. implying the pres
ence of s%ulphates in the water. it ia
usual to resort to chemical puriica-

Special apparatus are available which
are capable Of combining the two oper-
Rtions for both kinds Of hardness. Per-
manent hardness may also be reduced
by duplicating a part of the action Of
the boiler itself by the use of ii closed
purifier in which the feed water is sub
jected to a high temperature under
pressure. These are questions involv-
ing chemical determination together
