  2. Sodium hexametaphosphate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_hexametaphosphate

    SHMP is used as a sequestrant and has applications within a wide variety of industries, including as a food additive in which it is used under the E number E452i. Sodium carbonate is sometimes added to SHMP to raise the pH to 8.0–8.6, which produces a number of SHMP products used for water softening and detergents.

  3. Water softening - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_softening

    Brine draw: Water is directed through a jet pump, which pulls salt water from the brine tank, before the water and brine pass through the resin bed in the normal direction, if co-current, or in the reverse direction, if counter-current. [12] The output of this typically thirty-minute process is discarded through the drain hose.

  4. Hydrophobicity scales - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrophobicity_scales

    A University of Nebraska-Lincoln team recently devised a computational approach that can relate the molecular hydrophobicity scale of amino-acid chains to the contact angle of water nanodroplet. [39] The team constructed planar networks composed of unified amino-acid side chains with native structure of the beta-sheet protein.

  5. Membrane scaling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Membrane_scaling

    Membrane scaling, like other types of membrane fouling, increases energy costs due to higher operating pressure, and reduces permeate water production. [2] Furthermore, scaling may damage and shorten the lifetime of membranes due to frequent membrane cleanings [ 3 ] and therefore it is a major operational challenge in RO applications.

  6. Calgon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calgon

    The brands have their origin in Calgon, Inc. of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, which first put Calgon water softener on the market in 1933. [3] In 1965, Calgon was broken into: Calgon bath and beauty products, sold to Coty , and then acquired by Ascendia Brands on 9 February 2007.

  7. Lime softening - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lime_softening

    Lime softening (also known as lime buttering, lime-soda treatment, or Clark's process) [1] is a type of water treatment used for water softening, which uses the addition of limewater (calcium hydroxide) to remove hardness (deposits of calcium and magnesium salts) by precipitation.

  8. Oilfield scale inhibition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oilfield_scale_inhibition

    Uneven pipeline surfaces and production equipment such as pumps and valves cause rapid scale growth to levels that can block pipelines. [4] The scaling-tendency of an oil-well can be predicted based on the prevailing conditions such as pH, temperature, pressure, ionic strength and the mole fraction of CO 2 in the vapor and aqueous phases. [9]

  9. Kitchen utensil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kitchen_utensil

    Kitchen utensils in bronze discovered in Pompeii. Illustration by Hercule Catenacci in 1864. Benjamin Thompson noted at the start of the 19th century that kitchen utensils were commonly made of copper, with various efforts made to prevent the copper from reacting with food (particularly its acidic contents) at the temperatures used for cooking, including tinning, enamelling, and varnishing.
