Hydranautics RO Water Chemistry Alkalinity: Alkalinity is comprised primarily of bicarbonate, carbonate and hydroxide ions. Naturally occurring alkalinity functions as the earth s natural buffering system. An example of this buffering capability occurs when small doses of strong acids ( acid rain) react with the alkalinity in Water . The acid converts carbonates to bicarbonates and converts bicarbonates to carbon dioxide, with both reactions resulting in very little change in the pH of the Water . It should be noted that dissolved carbon dioxide gas will react with Water to form a very weak carbonic acid, but this is not considered to be part of total alkalinity since it has no acid buffering capacity. Carbon dioxide and bicarbonate are in a balance between the pH range of to at the low end and at the high end.
