Question: 6 - 1 5 . Determine the lime and soda ash dose, in m g L as CaO and N a 2 C O 3

6-15. Determine the lime and soda ash dose, in mgL as CaO and Na2CO3, to soften the following water to a final hardness of 80.0mgL as CaCO3. The ion concentrations reported below are all mgL as CaCO3. Assume the lime is 90 percent pure and the soda ash is 97 percent pure.
Ca2+=210.0
Mg2+=23.0
HCO3-=165.0
CO2=5.0
Answers: Total lime addition =118mgLas CaO
Total soda ash addition =31mgLasNa2CO3
