Most natural waters contain some iron. Its presence may vary from small traces
to very large amounts in water which is contaminated by acid mine wastes.
For domestic use, the concentration should not exceed 0.2 ppm and for some
industrial applications not even a trace of iron can be tolerated. There are many
means available for removing or reducing iron content. Water softening resins are
effective for removing small amounts of iron and special ion exchange materials
are selective for iron removal. High concentrations of iron can be removed by such
chemical processes as oxidation and lime or lime-soda softening. Because of the
many means of removing or reducing the amount of iron in water, the particular
method employed will depend largely on the form of iron which is present and the
end use of the treated water.
