How To Neutralize Ammonia In Water

Ammonia in water and method
If the water contains ammonia, there are various methods for neutralizing it.

First, acids can be used to deal with it. Such as dilute hydrochloric acid and dilute sulfuric acid, both are available. With an appropriate amount of acid, slowly inject it into the water containing ammonia, and stir it while injecting, so that the two are mixed evenly. The reason is that ammonia is alkaline, acid and alkali meet, neutralize, and produce salt and water. When using acid, when the amount of control is careful, do not let the acid pass, causing the water to be acidic.

Times, green plants also have the power of neutralization. For example, some aquatic plants, placed in ammonia-containing water, can ingest ammonia as nutrients, metabolize it, and gradually reduce the amount of ammonia in the water. This is a natural method. Although it is slow, it has no side effects.

In addition, activated carbon adsorption is also effective. Activated carbon has a porous structure with a wide surface area, which can absorb ammonia on its surface and the concentration of ammonia in precipitation. When using it, it is better to choose high-quality activated carbon, and it is easier to do so in a timely manner to ensure the adsorption effect.

Furthermore, the method of aeration is also good. Make water and air widely in contact, increase the amount of dissolved oxygen in water, promote the volatilization of ammonia, escape from the air, and reduce ammonia in water. You can use air pumps and other equipment to blow air into water to strengthen its aeration process.

To sum up, neutralizing ammonia in water can be selected according to the situation, or used alone or in combination, to achieve the purpose of removing ammonia from water.
