Lime softening - Wikipedia
WEBLime softening (also known as lime buttering, lime-soda treatment, or Clark's process) [1] is a type of water treatment used for water softening, which uses the addition of limewater (calcium hydroxide) to remove hardness (deposits …
WEBIn lime soda-ash softening plants, the softening process may be carried out by a sequence of rapid mix, flocculation, and sedimentation or in a solids contactor. In the solids contactor the rapid mix, flocculation, and sedimentation occur in a single unit.

WEBLime or lime-soda softener control is usually based on treated water alkalinity and hardness. Samples are tested to determine the alkalinity to the P (phenolphthalein, pH 8.3) and M (methyl orange or methyl purple, pH 4.3) end points.

WEBThe two primary processes for removing hardness from water are ion exchange softening and chemical precipitation with lime and soda ash. Ion exchange softening is widely used for home water softeners and is often used for softening of groundwater in public water supply treatment plants.

Lime-soda method | chemistry | Britannica
WEBThe lime-soda method of water softening must be followed by sedimentation and filtration in order to remove the precipitates. Ion exchange is accomplished by passing the water through columns of a natural or synthetic resin that trades sodium ions for calcium and magnesium ions.
CHEMICAL PRECIPITATION: WATER SOFTENING
WEBA water softening experiment was conducted in replicate to observe the changes in parameters such as total hardness, calcium hardness, magnesium hardness, alkalinity and pH with varying dosages of lime. A lime dosage range of 30-180% of the stoichiometric amount was chosen for the experiments.
WEBHow does the lime-softening process work? In the lime-softening process, the pH of the water being treated is raised sufficiently to precipitate calcium carbonate and, if necessary, magnesium hydroxide. The normal pH of water is between 6.5–8.5. In small systems, lime softening is typically practiced by adding hydrated
