The concentration may vary from small traces tovery large amounts in water which is contaminated by acid mine wastes. For domesticuse, the concentration should not exceed 0.2 ppm and for some industrial applicationsnot even a trace of iron can be tolerated. There are many means available for removingor reducing the iron content. Water softening resins are effective for removing smallamounts of iron and special ion exchange materials are selective for iron removal. Highconcentrations of iron can be removed by such chemical processes as oxidation and limeor lime-soda softening. Because of the many means of removing or reducing the amountof iron in water, the particular method employed will depend largely on the form of ironwhich is present and the end use of the treated water.1
