Detoxification

A testing was conducted on solution pond samples by adding lime powder

into the samples. The result as shown in Table below.
Beaker

Beaker A
Initial pH = 4.40
Lime added = 20 mg/L

After 10
minutes of
mixing.
pH=7.40
No

Beaker B
Initial pH = 4.13
Lime added = 40mg/L

pH=7.58

Small size of
floc.

Beaker C
Initial pH = 4.40
Lime added = 60 mg/L

pH=8.80
Precipitation
occur
Bigger size of
floc.

Beaker D
Initial pH = 4.40
Lime added = 80 mg/L

pH =9.70
Precipitation

Bigger size of
floc

Result on the water

It is found that by adding the lime into the solution, the chemicals in the
solution pond will coagulate with lime to form big particle and will be
precipitate.

The particles also become bigger when we increase the pH. Then, the
samples were sent to SGS Lab for heavy metal testing.
