How much ozone is required for water purification?
It depends on the water source, and the contaminants in it. Spring water or RO water is dropped into bottles with 0.2 to 0.4 ppm of ozone. This just keeps the contents "sterile" until the bottle is capped, and the ozone decays back to oxygen.
One community in California gets their drinking water from an underground well located in a buried ancient redwood forest... and ozone cannot treat it economically. The low tens of ppm of ozone were applied, and eventually so much oxygen ended up in the water, the carbon filters would get bound up with all the gas. To say nothing about corrosion in the distribution system from high dissolved oxygen.
Ozone doses of 1 - 3 ppm are ideal (cost and payback), and other treatment methods need to be applied either before or after ozonation (adding ozone to water), to allow this much / little ozone in most surface water sources.
Underground sources commonly only require filtration and/or ion exchange. Ozone is not usually required unless the ions are not fully oxidized, which is why they are found dissolved in water. Examples are iron, arsenic, and manganese. Manganese is a tricky one. Within increasing oxidation it goes from soluble (bad), to insoluble (good, can be adsorbed to something), to soluble again (bad). So ozone doses here have to be carefully applied.
Why is water so important to humans?
The reason water is important to humans is because without it every human being will die. Water makes us feel energetic. Water is also in our body mixed with blood.
Water has all the vitamins to keep a human walking and alive. Water is healthy and keeps you Hydrated the whole day. If you have ever tried not to drink water or didn't have the time you would realise that you would be tired and desperate for water.
I advise you to KEEP DRINKING LOTS OF WATER! specially when you are somewhere hot, because you sweat, therefore you need to drink water.
What if your dog's nose is usually cool but is drinking a lot of water?
take it to a vet but usually it is fine or drinking to much water
To make water dry up you take a glass of water outside on a really hot day. Then place the glass down on the sunniest spot. To make the evaporation faster use some magnifying glasses and pieces of glass to put direct sunlight on the glass of water.
TIPS: to make this easier use a wide bowl and pour the water in their. keep on checking the water different points of the day and moving it in the sunlight...
If the day and material are right you will be amazed how fast water can evaporated....
Why does the access to water a source of conflict?
It is a conflict because in dessert areas there is little to no supply of water.
Why is it important to find new sources of water and to conserve the sources now available?
Surprisingly, water is a non-renewable resource, so if we threw a crate of water into space, new water would not replace it.
Water is precious and if it gets ruined, new water cannot be created. It takes time and money to repair it.
What happens if you dont get enough water in your body?
You could become dehydrated, and die from thirst. The human body is mostly made up of water, and when a person looses too much water, they can die.
How does hard water cause problems?
IDK=0 It possibly ruins your food and spoils your beverages and leaves soap scum in your bathtub.
Well, that depends on what you mean. Most of the surface of our planet is water, and there is water in space. Far, far more than on earth. Can we use all of it up... unlikely, since we would die before getting to the last drop/ice crystal. However, if you mean could we get to the point where we didn't have enough drinkable water to provide for everyone who needs to drink on the planet... yes, we could definitely get to that point, and are in danger of it in certain areas.
What levels of mold considered safe?
There is no universally accepted safe level of mold, as sensitivity can vary significantly among individuals. However, general guidelines suggest that indoor mold levels should be kept below 1,000 spores per cubic meter of air for most types of mold. Levels above this may pose health risks, especially to sensitive populations such as those with allergies, asthma, or weakened immune systems. It's important to address any mold growth promptly to maintain a healthy indoor environment.
What if the water of the world dries up?
While it isn't likely to happen, it already has in our solar system. See Mars.
Where the Earth is more than 2/3 water, Mars had similar composition in its past, but is now only about 6% water.
Essentially Earth would be a dead planet.
Water will freeze even under enormous pressure and expansion is not necessary for water to freeze. Depending on temperature and pressure, Ice can exist in 15 different phases (Ice I - Ice XV).
By compressing water for example at a temperature of -83 ºC (-117 ºF) and at 300 MPa, Ice II will form. Ice II is a rhombohedral crystalline form of ice. Your freezer is only cold enough for Ice I, so water would not turn to ice if you had a container strong enough to prevent expansion.
How caterpillar able to stay alive without drink water?
Caterpillars do not drink water. How are they able to stay alive
