Empowering clean water whilst safeguarding water distribution pipeline integrity: Towards manganese- and iron-free lime hydrate for water treatment (2023)
Journal Article
Wadhawan, J. D., Kocsis, D., Meyer, C., Ward, R., Thompson, M., Prior, T. J., Kelly, S. M., & Lawrence, N. (2023). Empowering clean water whilst safeguarding water distribution pipeline integrity: Towards manganese- and iron-free lime hydrate for water treatment. Environmental Science: Water Research & Technology, https://doi.org/10.1039/d2ew00109h

Hydrated limes are amongst the most economically valuable alkalis used by the water industry for the treatment of potable water. They are typically manufactured from the thermal decomposition of high purity limestones. However, the latter contain bot...
