A Novel Alternative Methods for Decalcification of Water Resources Using Green Agro-Ashes

The strategic idea in this work was to increase pH values by employing natural alkali sources (i.e., HCO<sub>3</sub><sup>−</sup> and CO<sub>3</sub><sup>2−</sup>) from four tested agro-ashes as an alternative to chemicals (i.e., lime or soda ash). The c...
