Demineraliseeritud

Demineraliseeritud, often referred to as deionized or distilled water, is water that has had its mineral and salt ions removed. This process is typically achieved through ion-exchange resins or distillation. Ion-exchange resins work by attracting and holding charged particles, effectively stripping them from the water. Distillation involves boiling water and then condensing the steam, leaving behind dissolved minerals and impurities.

The primary purpose of demineralising water is to eliminate the presence of dissolved salts, which can interfere with various industrial processes and applications. Minerals like calcium and magnesium, commonly found in tap water, can cause scale buildup in machinery, affect the conductivity of water in electrical systems, and alter the taste and purity of products.

Demineralised water is widely used in laboratories for experiments and in the manufacturing of pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and electronics. It is also essential for steam irons, car radiators, and humidifiers, where mineral deposits can lead to damage or reduced efficiency. While demineralised water is safe to drink, it lacks the beneficial minerals found in regular tap water and may have a flat or metallic taste.
