I am stir washing (powdered) biochar aqueous solution. Washing is meant to increase the pH of the solution from 0.1 to 6. Each wash is carried out for one hour. Then 90% of water is drained and refilled with fresh deionized water and temp is maintained at 70C. If I run out of deionized water, using distilled water is equally good and will serve the purpose stated above?
Input please?
purity of deionized water is more than distilled water because in deionized water all ions have been removed.
we can't use distilled water in place of deionized because of purity concerns.
Distilled water means there is no minerals present in this water and the deionized water means the water contains minerals but the ionised molecules are deleted.
So my answer is no.
Both are pure water, but deionised water is far pure than disilled water. Earlier responses have very well covered the answers. . The only difference between the two is, distilled water will still conduct electricity , while deionised will not conduct any electricity.....
Distilled water and deionized water both are pure but, deionized water is extra pure. For normal experiment distilled water can be used. But, you should use deionized water for sensitive experiment to avoid any minimal error. Double distilled water can be used in such case but not better.
Both distilled and deionized water are pure but deionised water is purer than distilled water. Deionized water is extra pure from which all ions are removed. Alternatively, distilled water is not extra pure for sensitive experiment, it has no salt. However, distilled water can't be allowed to use in lieu of deionized water.
Deionized water is water that has been purified in such a way that (most of) its mineral- and salt ions are removed. You can think for example of Calcium, Chloride, Sulphate, Magnesium and Sodium. . Deionized water is generally considered different from distilled water. Distilled water is purified by boiling and re-condensing. In this way salt ions are being removed.
The major difference between deionized water and distilled water is that distilled water usually has less organic contaminants; deionisation does not remove uncharged molecules such as viruses or bacteria.Deionized water most times has less mineral ions; this is dependent on the way it is produced. Deionisation has a cleaner production and it leaves behind less scale in the installations it is used in.
A point of attention when using this deionized water is the material of your instruments. Not all material is suited to serve as a piping material for demi-water; this also depends on temperatures that are used.
