| Abstract: | A report is given on laboratory investigations into model waters containing Cu2+-, Ni2+- or Zn2+-ions and tartrate, citrate, NTA or EDTA as complexing agents. There were determined residual concentrations of the metal ions at different shares of complexing agents, which are achieved by the precipitation with lime and chalk. Chalk is added in order to secure the required exess of calcium ions without causing an overalkalinization of the water. In the range of pH = 8…9, however, residual concentrations lower than 1 mg/1 are achieved only for copper ions in the presence of tartrate. |
