Synopsis

Water Technology: Laboratory Exercises. The publication presents a collection of laboratory exercises in water technology, aimed at understanding the basic physicochemical properties of water and the methods used to determine them. It includes analyses such as pH, conductivity, turbidity, hardness, free carbon dioxide, and carbonate equilibrium. The Jar test and reverse osmosis are also covered. Special emphasis is placed on practical work, correct use of laboratory equipment, and interpretation of results. The publication integrates theoretical knowledge with practical examples and promotes understanding of the importance of water quality in environmental and engineering contexts. It also provides guidelines for safe laboratory work, an overview of hazardous substance symbols, and basic first aid instructions. It is primarily intended for students in technical and natural sciences as support for laboratory work and for understanding processes in aquatic environments.
