Hard water boiling. When this is the case, it is usually caused by the presence of calcium sulphate/calcium chloride and/or magnesium sulphate/magnesium chloride in the water, which do not precipitate out as the temperature increases. Ions causing permanent hardness of water can be removed using a water softener, or ion exchange column. Total Permanent Hardness = Permanent Calcium Hardness + Permanent Magnesium Hardness With hard water, soap solutions form a white precipitate (soap scum) instead of producing lather, because the 2+ ions destroy the surfactant properties of the soap by forming a solid precipitate (the soap scum). A major component of such
Magnesium taurate Magnesium taurate Magnesium taurate, also known as magnesium ditaurate, is the magnesium salt of taurine, and a mineral supplement. It contains 8.9% elemental magnesium by mass. Accordingly, 100 mg of magnesium is contained in 1121 mg of magnesium taurate. Magnesium taurate has been studied in rats for delaying the onset and progression of cataract. Due to the expected dissociation of magnesium taurate in the body before absorption, safety data on magnesium and taurine can be used to evaluate the safety of magnesium taurate. Taurine has an observed safe level of supplemental intake in normal healthy adults at up to 3
