Boron removal
Boron removal
(OP)
Hi,
I have to treat water from a well which will be used for gardening purposes. Raw water contains 2.7 mg/L boron and local standarts for irrigration water is 2 mg/L as boron accumulates in plant body. But an ion-exchange system or a RO plant isn't suitable in this situation. Is there any other way to reduce boron concentration?
Thank you...

I have little space to place the equipment so I'm not sure a flocculator, a dosage pump with chemical storage and preperation tank(s) and probably a large sand filter will be suitable.
EPA documentation may help. I will search for it.
Thanks again for your answer...
RE: Boron removal
Is such an arrangement viable to you and available in your country ?
RE: Boron removal
I'm still on search for documentation about boron but couldn't find anything except some toxicity and bioaccumulation studies.
Thanks sklone...

1.Use boron specific ion exchangers. Dow and Rohm & Hass have these products. They will reduce B to less than 0.1 mg/l.
2.If desalting is required any how you can use RO. Boron rejection is indeed poor at low pH. Solution for large scale sea water RO plants based on alkaline partial second RO Pass are being implemented now. New Projection software of DOW filmtec, Hydranautics and Tory relate to Boron rejection.
