Why is alum added to muddy water?
Alum is added to muddy water to help the suspended particles clump together and settle at the bottom, clarifying the water. This process is called flocculation and it makes it easier to remove the sediment from the water by filtration or decantation.
Purification of muddy water by alum is due to?
Purification of muddy water by alum is due to the process of coagulation, where alum causes suspended particles in the water to clump together and settle to the bottom, making it easier to remove impurities. This process improves the clarity of the water by removing suspended solids and turbidity.
What is the name of the white double salt used for sedimentation of muddy water?
alum....it is a white double salt used for sedimentation of muddy water....
What is added to muddy water to sedimentation?
Alum (aluminum sulfate) is commonly added to muddy water for sedimentation. When alum is mixed with water, it forms a gel-like substance that attracts and binds with suspended particles, causing them to settle to the bottom of the container. This process helps clarify the water by removing solid impurities.
What is the process of adding alum to water called?
alum water (AlH20)
Why is muddy water a mixture and not a acompound?
Because the consituents (water and mud) can be separated by physical action, such as filtering, they are not chemically combined.
What is used for settling muddy water?
chlorine dioxide
What is the purpose of adding alum and lime in water treatment?
Alum (Aluminum Sulfate) is/was used to cause particles in water (mud) to coagulate and settle to the bottom to obtain clear water off the top. That is, it is used to make muddy or cloudy water clear as a first step in turning river water into drinking water. Nowadays, polymers are used instead. Some say that Alum causes alzeimers (1970's) but if that is true, the information was successfully hushed while most of America drank water treated with alum for decades. Lime is used to adjust the ph that is lowered by the alum. There is also a process using lime that actually removes hardness (calcium and magnesium) from drinking water obtained from limestone aquifers. This process is called Lime Soda Softening.
Do plants take in muddy water?
No,they do not take in muddy water,as they are flitered by the plant.
Why is muddy water a suspension?
Muddy water contain insoluble particles in suspension.
What is alum used for?
Alum is used in vaccines as an adjuvant. Alum is commonly used as a coagulant in water treatment. And its used for domestics water.
Is muddy water a mixture a compound or an element?
Muddy river water is a mixture of different materials. The moving river keeps it muddy. If the water stops moving, the muddy material will precipitate and settle to the bottom.
