AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the removal of manganese from well water through aeration in a chlorination system. Key concerns include the potential impact of added oxygen on chlorine effectiveness and the risk of chlorine evaporation. It is noted that introducing oxygen (0.3 mg O2 per liter) in the same tank as chlorination could affect chlorine levels, as chlorine may evaporate more readily in the presence of oxygen. Participants emphasize the need to consider the final equilibrium of dissolved substances in the water, indicating that the interaction between oxygen and chlorine is complex and may vary based on water chemistry. Caution is advised when combining these processes to ensure effective manganese removal without compromising chlorination efficacy.

I want to remove manganese (0.7 mg/l) by aearation, from well water in an plant in which I have only chlorination sistem.Will the oxigen adition affect the action of cl2? On which point I should be careful?
I want to make oxygenation in the same tank in witch i will make the chlorination.
Would the chlorination have to suffer (cl2 would evaporate) if i make chlorination in water with oxygena added?
I want to add 0.3 mg 02 per water liter.

Final equilibrium depends on things dissolved in water, so I doubt in a simple answer.
 
It seems like a simple enough question: what is the solubility of epsom salt in water at 20°C? A graph or table showing how it varies with temperature would be a bonus. But upon searching the internet I have been unable to determine this with confidence. Wikipedia gives the value of 113g/100ml. But other sources disagree and I can't find a definitive source for the information. I even asked chatgpt but it couldn't be sure either. I thought, naively, that this would be easy to look up without...
I was introduced to the Octet Rule recently and make me wonder, why does 8 valence electrons or a full p orbital always make an element inert? What is so special with a full p orbital? Like take Calcium for an example, its outer orbital is filled but its only the s orbital thats filled so its still reactive not so much as the Alkaline metals but still pretty reactive. Can someone explain it to me? Thanks!!
