I can't really help you for the first part since I don't know about Zinc Carbonate, but I can tell if you need a food-grade acid Citric Acid should do since it has a quit low pH, maybe the reaction need Chloride in solution so just add salt to see if it's the case.
Avoid ammonia as much as you...
Oh yes I see, that's why I thought about adjusting the pH. But do you think using a chelator such as sodium citrate could help ? I mean having sodium in solution is still better than calcium in term of taste and quantity of OH-.
Hi
I wonder if we can reduce the quantity of salt (mostly Cl- and Ca2+) from water by electrolysis and still be safe to drink. I know that with inert electrods (not sure which ones although) Cl- would be trun into Cl2(g) and I'm concerned by its toxicity even though it's going in the air. But...
Hello !
I'm studying organic chemistry in Corsica (France) and have a bachelor degree in Physics and Chemistry. Currently I'm on an internship in London, working on hydrocolloids (especially extracted from seaweeds).
I'm joining this forum hoping to have an audience if I have questions, to be...
