APPLICATIONS
pH control and neutralization involve adjusting the acidity or alkalinity of substances, crucial in water treatment, chemical manufacturing, and food production. Carbon dioxide lowers pH by forming carbonic acid when dissolved in water, neutralizing alkaline substances. Nitrogen creates an inert atmosphere to prevent unwanted reactions during pH adjustment. Sulfur dioxide reduces pH and neutralizes alkaline substances, particularly in water treatment. These gases ensure the right pH balance for various industrial applications, maintaining safety and effectiveness.

pH control and neutralization refer to the process of adjusting the pH levels of a solution to a desired range, typically to neutral (pH 7), using various methods, including the application of industrial gases like carbon dioxide (CO₂).
CO₂ dissolves in water to form carbonic acid, which can lower the pH of alkaline solutions. This method is precise, easy to control, and minimizes the use of harsh chemicals, making it suitable for various industrial applications.
Benefits include precise control of pH levels, safety (CO₂ is less hazardous compared to strong acids), environmental friendliness, and the ability to avoid chemical residues that can affect downstream processes or discharge.
CO₂ is used in various industries, including water and wastewater treatment, food and beverage processing, chemical manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, and aquaculture.
CO₂ is typically used to lower pH in alkaline solutions. To increase pH in acidic solutions, other methods such as adding alkaline substances (e.g., sodium hydroxide) are generally employed.
Yes, CO₂-based pH control is suitable for drinking water treatment. It offers a safe and effective way to adjust pH levels without introducing harmful chemicals into the water supply.
Safety considerations include proper handling and storage of CO₂ cylinders, ensuring adequate ventilation, and using appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE). Training personnel on the safe use of CO₂ systems is also essential.
CO₂-based pH control solutions and services are provided by industrial gas suppliers, water treatment equipment manufacturers, and engineering firms specializing in process control and automation.
