The pH of Some Aqueous Solutions

07/25/2010 6:37 AM

Dependency of life-existence on water exceeds the presentl supplication, to the adverse detriment of humanity. For the simple fact that, Contamination of rivers, lakes, seas, is become environmental problem. Acidic precipitation consequently with the norms engendered of orbital electrons, where only two electrons may occupy one orbit, strictly stipulates an acidic constitution of most serious assaults upon the quality of Water (H2O). The un-contaminated Rain, possesses a pH of about 5.6, slightly acidic, owing to the formation of Carbonic acid from Carbon dioxide and water. Acidic precipitation, in reference to rain, snow, or fog, possess more acidic content, than pH 5.6. What primarily causes acid precipitation, and what actually, are it"s effects, upon the fitness of the environment? Acid precipitation is caused primarily by the presence of Carbonic and sulphuric contamination of the Lower strata of the atmospheric, ionospheric condensational precipitate. Dr. OLUWAFEMI FISCHER.

Acid rain is actually an air pollution problem. Its chief acid constituents are sulfuric and nitric acids. While it can be formed naturally by volcanic eruptions (which will release sulfurous gases into the atmosphere) and nitric acid is naturally formed in small quantities by the passage of lightning through the atmosphere, the main cause of acid rain is the burning of substances containing sulfur.

As for its effects on the environment, it can lower the pH of water bodies to a point where certain species such as mollusks and crustaceans become extinct. In severe enough cases, all life is wiped out. It wll also corrode metal and concrete structures.

Out of curiosity, wy are you asking this? Are you interested in developing a method to deal with the problem? Because if you are, I have actually developed a chemical-free method to remediate the effects of acid rain on the environment, and it has so successfully removed the acidity from the small school ecopond where I carried out my experiment that pond snails, including the fairly delicate ramshorn snail are actually thriving in it. I would love to know more about what you actually have in mind.

Lord Vader, would your process work on acid mine waters? Has it been tried on a larger scale? Is there a link to a case study where I can read about it?

If you prefer not to share any details, I understand.

Yes it will. As a matter of fact, I actually adapted it from a technique used in Australia to remediate mine tailings. I contact you personally with the details.
