Dear all,
As it is known, the pH of distilled water increase with dissolving ashes in it. It is because of some metallic oxides contents like NaO, k2O, etc, of the ashes. So, I want to know which agricultural waste has the most effects on distilled water pH?? In fact, which one produces the most pH??
sincerely

How is pH affected by different kinds of agricultural wastes , is not a simple exercise . for example concentration of total ammonium content , P content, COD, BOD etc like that many factors will decide the final pH. Temperature itself will magnify the impact of different wastes on pH.Please find enclosed some interesting work...

There are many waste ashes which contains Na, Ca, or Mg oxides that rapidly hydrate to produce soluble hydroxide. A large range of Na silicate, alumina and aluminium silicate are also present resulted their pH ranges between 9 and 12. The most notable are: Fly ash from coal combustion, Red mud from Bayer process of aluminium production, Chromite ore processing residues, steel slags etc.
Soda ash in water is highly alkaline and has highest level of pH. Distilled water is one of the purest form of water which is usually have TDS as low as < 20 mg/lit and have nearly neutral to mildly acidic.
Soda ash (sodium carbonate) is generally used to increase the pH level of water (Dr.Saxena also mentioned soda ash). The pH of agricultural wastes depends on several factors, the physicochemical characteristics. Dr. Anoop Kumar Srivastava has already mentioned that it is not a simple exercise. The literature he provided are useful to understand the subject. Best wishes
