From where salt in water comes?

Chloride is one of the most common anions found in tap water. It generally combines with
calcium, magnesium, or sodium to form various salts: for example sodium chloride (NaCl) is
formed when chloride and sodium combine.
How to remove chloride from water?
The good news is that chlorides can easily be removed from water with either a reverse osmosis
system or a distiller.

What is the maximum chloride strength in potable water

Potable water should not exceed 250 mg/L of chloride

What is the maximum strength of chlorides in water containing calcium or magnesium cations?
When calcium or magnesium is the cation, up to 1000 mg/L can be tolerated without a salty taste
to the water.
What is disadvantge of high concentration of chlorides?
At levels greater than this, sodium chloride can complicate existing heart problems and
contribute to high blood pressure when ingested in excess.

How High chloride concentrations in freshwater can harm aquatic organisms?

High chloride concentrations in freshwater can harm aquatic organisms by interfering with
osmoregulation, the biological process by which they maintain the proper concentration of salt
and other solutes in their bodily fluids. Difficulty with osmoregulation can hinder survival,
growth, and reproduction

How does Chloride get into water?

When salts that contain chlorine (NaCl, LiCl, CaCl₂, NH₄Cl) dissolve in water, chloride ions will
be released

How does water gets salty taste?

Chloride concentrations in excess of about 250 mg/l usually produce a noticeable taste in
drinking water.
How does chlorides gets into surface water?
Chlorides may get into surface water from several sources including: rocks contain chlorides,
agricultural run-off, waste water from industries, oil well wastes, and effluent waste water from
waste water treatment plants

What is the effect of chlorides in water on food

Chlorides and affect the taste of food products

What is the effect of chlorides in water on metals?

It can corrode metals

How to determine the chlorides in water?

It can be determined by precipitation titration with silver nitrate volhard's method

During winter and spring and during times of low flow in the summer and fall, chloride levels
can exceed 800mg/L,

What are harmful effects of high chloride water content?

such type of water becomes detrimental to infants and babies, because their organs (such as
kidney) fail to separate waste liquid products (containing high chloride content) from the blood.

What are the harmful effects of high content chloride water on crops?
Brine water affects the fertility of soil severely and it becomes detrimental to the green plants
and agricultural crop, when used for irrigation work.

At what concentration of chloride in water affects the taste of coffee?

The taste of coffee is affected if it is made with water containing a chloride
concentration of 400 mg/litre as sodium chloride or 530 mg/litre as calcium chloride

How does chlorides gets into ground water?

Chloride in groundwater from both natural and anthropogenic sources, such as

run-off containing road de-icing salts,

How chloride contents can be increased in water?

Chloride in water may be considerably increased by treatment processes in which chlorine or
chloride is used

What is the maximum concentration of chlorides is safe for drinking?

Drinking Water Regulations recommend a maximum concentration of 250 mg/1 for chloride ions
