alkalinity |
Acid neutralising or buffering capacity of water; a measure of ability of water to resist changes in pH caused by the addition of acids or bases. In natural waters, it is mainly due to the presence of carbonates, bicarbonates and to a lesser extent borates, silicates and phosphates. A solution having pH below 5 contains no alkalinity.
