About Deionised Water
What is Deionised Water?
Deionized water, also known as demineralized water or DI water, is a type of purified water that has undergone a process called deionization to remove ions and minerals from it.
Here are some key points about deionized water:
1). Deionization Process: Deionized water is produced by passing regular water through an ion exchange process, which involves the use of ion exchange resins. These resins attract and remove positively and negatively charged ions from the water, including minerals, salts, and other impurities. The process aims to achieve a high level of purity by reducing the concentration of ions in the water.
2). Removal of Ions: Deionization effectively removes dissolved ions from water, including calcium, magnesium, sodium, chloride, sulfate, and other mineral salts. It also eliminates organic and inorganic impurities, such as metals, bacteria, and particulate matter. The result is water that is free from most dissolved solids and ions.
3). Purity and Electrical Conductivity: Deionized water is considered highly pure because it has a very low electrical conductivity. This is because the removal of ions significantly reduces the presence of dissolved substances in the water. As a result, deionized water is often used in applications where the presence of minerals or ions can interfere with processes or equipment, such as laboratory experiments, medical equipment, electronics manufacturing, and various industrial processes.
4). Lack of Minerals: One important aspect of deionized water is that it lacks essential minerals that are typically found in natural water sources. These minerals, such as calcium, magnesium, and potassium, are important for human health. Therefore, deionized water is not typically used for drinking purposes or as a source of minerals for the body. In fact, excessive consumption of deionized water without alternative mineral sources could lead to mineral imbalances in the body.
5). Uses: Deionized water has a wide range of applications in various industries and settings. It is commonly used in laboratories for experiments, chemical analysis, and preparation of solutions. It is also used in medical facilities for equipment sterilization, dialysis procedures, and pharmaceutical manufacturing. Additionally, deionized water is utilized in electronics manufacturing, car battery maintenance, cosmetics production, and many other industrial processes where high-purity water is required.
6). Storage and Shelf Life: Deionized water should be stored in clean, sterile containers to maintain its purity. It does not contain any preservatives or disinfectants, so proper storage is important to prevent bacterial contamination. The shelf life of deionized water depends on storage conditions, but when stored correctly in sealed containers, it can remain pure for an extended period of time.
Deionized water is a highly purified form of water that has had most of its ions and minerals removed. It is commonly used in laboratories, medical facilities, and various industries where the absence of impurities is essential. However, it should be noted that deionized water does not provide essential minerals for human health and is not intended for drinking without alternative mineral sources.
Trade Process
Our trade process spreads across CIF, FOB, TTO, and TTT, depending on the buyer’s preference.
Here’s what they entail:
1). Cost Insurance and Freight (CIF): Here, the seller will handle everything from loading the vessel, paying for insurance, and sending the product to wherever the buyer wants it delivered.
2). Freight On Board (FOB): Here, the seller pays for the transportation of the goods to the port of shipment, plus loading costs, while the buyer pays the cost of marine freight transport, insurance, unloading, and transportation from the originating port to the final destination.
3). Tanker Take Over (TTO): Here, the buyer will take over the vessel, offload the product at their destination, and return it.
4). Tanker To Tanker (TTT): Here, the buyer uses their own vessel, long sides with the seller’s vessel, and then the cargo is transshipped when the transaction is fully settled.
