Neutralizing a solution typically aims to achieve:

The goal of neutralizing a solution is primarily to adjust its pH level towards neutrality, which is around 7 on the pH scale. Many industrial and wastewater processes involve acidic or basic solutions that can be harmful to the environment and human health if discharged untreated. By neutralizing these solutions, operators aim to minimize the potential for corrosion, toxicity, or negative reactions that can occur when extreme pH levels are present.

When pH is brought to neutrality, it ensures that the wastewater can be handled and treated more safely, reducing risks associated with both the treatment process and the final effluent discharged into natural water bodies. A neutral pH is also important for the effectiveness of biological treatment processes, as many microorganisms that break down pollutants thrive within this pH range.

In contrast, an increase in turbidity, an increase in solid concentration, and a decrease in temperature do not align with the objective of neutralization. These factors could indicate a more complex issue within the wastewater treatment process rather than the goal of achieving a balanced pH.
