Understanding pH Value in One Article: The “Acid-Base Balance Code” in Wastewater Treatment
pH value is a core indicator for measuring the acidity and alkalinity of water bodies, with a range of 0-14. Essentially, it represents the negative logarithm of the hydrogen ion concentration in a solution. When pH=7, the water body is neutral; pH<7 indicates acidity, with lower values indicating stronger acidity; pH>7 indicates alkalinity, with higher values indicating stronger alkalinity. In the entire process of wastewater treatment, pH value is not simply a "label for acidity and alkalinity", but a key control parameter that determines treatment efficiency, chemical effect, and system stability, directly affecting the progress of chemical reactions and microbial activity.
