Deionized water, also known as demineralized water, is water that has had its mineral ions (such as sodium, calcium, iron, and copper) and dissolved solids removed through a process called ion exchange.

Distilled water, on the other hand, is water that has been purified by boiling it into steam and then condensing the steam back into water. This process removes impurities such as minerals, bacteria, and other contaminants.

Both deionized and distilled water are highly purified forms of water, but the processes used to purify them are different. Deionized water is typically used in laboratory settings or in industrial processes, while distilled water is commonly used in medical applications, humidifiers, and in some consumer products

Calibration of lab equipment (pH meters, spectrophotometers).
Preparation of buffer solutions.

2. Pharmaceuticals & Medical Applications

Manufacturing IV fluids, injections, and dialysis water.
Cleaning medical devices (prevents mineral deposits).

3. Electronics & Semiconductor Industry

Wafer rinsing in chip manufacturing (avoids mineral contamination).
PCB (circuit board) cleaning.
Coolant for high-precision machinery.

4. Automotive & Batteries

Lead-acid battery filling (extends battery life).
Radiator coolant mixing (prevents scaling).

5. Industrial Processes

Boiler feed water (reduces scaling in steam systems).
Chemical manufacturing (ensures reaction purity).

6. Cosmetics & Personal Care

Base for lotions, toners, and sensitive skincare (no mineral irritation).

Secondary Uses of Deionized Water

1. Food & Beverage Industry

Ingredient in soft drinks, beer brewing (avoids flavor alteration).
Cleaning food processing equipment (no water spots).

2. Aquariums & Aquatic Life

Mixing with salts for marine tanks (no unwanted minerals).

3. Photography & Printing

Film development & inkjet printers (prevents clogging).

4. HVAC Systems

Humidifier filling (reduces white dust).

5. Glass & Window Cleaning

Streak-free washing (no mineral residues).

6. Fire Extinguishers

Used in water mist systems (non-conductive, safe for electrical fires).

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

General Handling:

Electrical Safety:

High-purity DI water is more conductive than distilled water—keep away from live circuits.
Avoid spills near electrical equipment.

Material Compatibility:

Can leach ionsfrom metals, glass, or plastics over time.
Avoid long-term storage in reactive containers (e.g., some plastics, untreated steel).

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE):

Gloves (optional):Nitrile gloves if handling large volumes (prevents contamination).
Safety goggles:Only needed if splashing risk exists (e.g., pressurized systems).

Storage:

Use chemically inert containers(HDPE, PTFE, or glass).
Seal tightly to prevent CO₂ absorption(forms carbonic acid, lowering pH).

Inhalation:

Not applicable (non-volatile).

Skin Contact:

No action needed (non-irritating).
Dry skin if exposed repeatedly (may cause mild dryness).

Eye Contact:

Rinse with clean water for 5–10 minutes(DI water lacks buffering ions).
Seek medical help only if irritation persists (unlikely).

Ingestion:

Harmless in small amounts.
Large quantitiesmay cause electrolyte imbalance—seek medical advice if consumed excessively.
Non-flammable.
Not a fire hazard, but do NOT use to extinguish:
- Electrical fires (unless de-energized).
- Water-reactive chemicals (e.g., alkali metals, strong acids).

Special Cases:

If DI water is contaminated with organics/flammables, treat as the contaminant’s hazard.

Cleanup:

Wipe up with absorbent materials (e.g., lint-free cloths).
For large spills, use a wet/dry vacuum.

Environmental Notes:

No ecological toxicity, but large spills may:
- Dilute local water chemistry.
- Damage equipment if leaked into sensitive areas (e.g., labs, electronics).
