Radium Removal

Radium is a naturally occurring radio-active contaminant found in many parts of the Mid West in the USA. It is in the same family as calcium and magnesium on the Periodic Table and is removed by the same technique used to remove hardness…the common water softener. Radium has a higher selectivity than either Ca++ or Mg++ and therefore breaks through later in the cycle than hardness. A properly sized an operated softener is a very effective means of removing radium from ground water. Salt is used as the regenerant for the strong acid resin.
