Removal of bromide by aluminium chloride coagulant in the presence of humic acid

Bromide can form disinfection by-products (DBPs) in drinking water disinfection process, which have adverse effects on human health. Using aluminium chloride as a model coagulant, removal of bromide by coagulation was investigated in the absence or presence of humic acid (HA) in synthetic water and then was conducted in raw water. Results demonstrated that in synthetic water, 93.3-99.2% removal efficiency of bromide was achieved in the absence of HA with 3-15 mg/L coagulant, while 78.4-98.4% removal efficiency of bromide was obtained in the presence of HA with the same coagulant dosage and 86.8-98.8% HA was removed simultaneously. Bromide in raw water was removed 87.0% with 15 mg/L coagulant. HA apparently reduced the removal of bromide with low coagulant dosage or at high pH, while minor influence on removal of bromide was observed with high coagulant dosage or at low pH. Thus, bromide could be reduced effectively by enhanced coagulation in drinking water treatment.

Biological denitrification of drinking water in a slow sand filter

Biological removal of nitrate from drinking water was studied in a slow sand filter. Optimum carbon to nitrogen ratio (C/N) was found to be 1.8 when using acetic acid in batch tests. The filtration rates impact on NO(3)-N removal through the sand filter was assessed for 22.6 mgNO(3)-N/l concentrations while keeping C/N ratio as 1.8 for acetic acid. The filtration rates varied from 0.015, 0.02, 0.03, 0.04, 0.05, and 0.06 m/h, respectively, corresponding to an overall average NO(3)-N removal efficiency of 94%. Although increasing filtration rates decreased NO(3)-N removal, effluent NO(3)-N concentrations at the effluent port were lower than the limit value. The slow sand filter process was unable to provide NO(3)-N removal rate more than 27.1 gN/(m(2)day) (0.05 m/h flow rate). The NO(3)-N removal efficiency slightly dropped from 99% to 94% when the loading rate increased from 27.1 to 32.5 g/(m(2)day), but the effluent water contained higher concentration of NO(2)-N than the standard value.     

Treatment of desizing wastewater by catalytic thermal treatment and coagulation

In the present study, the coagulation of the fresh and thermally treated desizing wastewater has been reported. The maximum COD reduction of fresh desizing wastewater using coagulation was observed with commercial alum at initial pH 4. This was followed by aluminum potassium sulfate (pH 4), FeCl(3) (pH 6), PAC (pH 6) and FeSO(4) (pH 4). The maximum COD reduction observed at a coagulant (commercial alum) dose of 5 kg/m(3) and pH 4 was 58% whereas the color reduction at these conditions was 85%. The results reveal that the application of coagulation on the catalytic thermal treated effluent is more effective in removing nearly 88% of COD and 96% of color at above mentioned conditions except at a coagulant dose of 1 kg/m(3). The amount of inorganic sludge generated gets drastically reduced (almost 25%) due to the reduced amount of coagulant. The COD and color of the final effluent were found to be 98.6 mg/l and 2.67 PCU, respectively, and the COD/BOD(3) ratio was 1.36. The settling rate of the slurry was found to be strongly influenced by treatment pH. The slurry obtained after treatment at pH 12 settled faster in comparison to slurry obtained at pH 4. The filterability of the treated effluent is also strongly dependent on pH. pH 12 was adjudged to be the best in giving highest filtration rate.     

Quality of hemodialysis water in a resource‐poor country: The Nigerian example

Hemodialysis (HD) patients are exposed to large volumes of water, separated from patients' blood by semipermeable membrane of dialyzers. Chemical contaminants in poorly treated water impact negatively on quality of life of these patients. This survey was carried out to assess the HD water quality in Lagos, Nigeria. Ten milliliters of feed and treated water from all six HD centers in Lagos were tested for aluminum, copper, zinc, magnesium, calcium using atomic absorption spectrometry; sodium and potassium were tested using flame photometry, fluoride with molecular photoluminescence method; sulfate using turbidimetry, nitrates measured by cadmium column reduction method, chloramines and free chlorine were measured using N, N‐diethyl‐1‐P‐phenylenediamine colorimetric method. Information on sources of feed water, frequency of testing of HD water, methods of water treatment, type of water purification system and maintenance was also obtained. All centers used borehole as main source of water supply. None of the centers met Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI) guidelines for most chemical contaminants. Only chlorine (0.48 ± 0.07 mg/L) and potassium (3.9 ± 0.95 mg/L) levels met AAMI standards after treatment. Mean levels of chemical contaminants in treated water were as follows: aluminum 0.04 ± 0.01 mg/L, zinc 0.27 ± 0.08 mg/L, chloramines 0.16 ± 0.03 mg/L, fluoride 1.83 ± 0.40 mg/L, sulfate 117 ± 86.1 mg/L which were mildly elevated; calcium 126.00 ± 22.7 mg/L, sodium 179 ± 25.6 mg/L, and nitrate 70.5 ± 50.8 mg/L, which were markedly elevated; and magnesium 8.3 ± 3.38 mg/L, which was moderately elevated above AAMI recommended levels. HD water quality is poor in our environment. Concerted efforts are required to ensure good quality water for HD.     

Effect of OH-/Al3+ and Si/Al molar ratios on the coagulation performance and residual Al speciation during surface water treatment with poly-aluminum-silicate-chloride (PASiC)

Coagulation performance, mechanism of poly-aluminum-silicate-chloride (PASiC) and residual Al speciation in the effluent with respect to a specific surface water treatment in China were comprehensively investigated in this study. The impact of OH(-)/Al(3+) and Si/Al molar ratios on the coagulation performance, mechanism and residual Al speciation of PASiC in surface water treatment was discussed as a function of coagulant dosage. It was intended to provide an insight into the relationship between coagulation performance and residual Al. Experimental results revealed that when OH(-)/Al(3+) molar ratio = 2.00 and Si/Al molar ratio = 0.0500 in PASiC coagulant, PASiC exhibited beneficial coagulation property and relatively lower content of residual Al. Surface bridging and entrapment was more effective compared with charge neutralization during the specific surface water treatment. The majority of residual Al in the effluent existed in the form of insoluble suspended or particulate Al. Dissolved organically bound Al was almost the major speciation in dissolved Al and dissolved inorganically bound monomeric Al was the only component in dissolved monomeric Al. Al in PASiC remained abundant at lower dosages and residual Al concentration could be effectively reduced at the dosages of 12.0-15.0mg/L as Al.     

Coagulation/flocculation process and sludge conditioning in beverage industrial wastewater treatment

Attempts were made in this study to examine the effectiveness of coagulation and flocculation process using ferric chloride and polyelectrolyte (non-ionic polyacrylamide) for the treatment of beverage industrial wastewater. Removal of organic matter (expressed as chemical oxygen demand, COD), total phosphorus (TP) and total suspended solid (TSS) using ferric chloride and organic polyelectrolyte during coagulation/flocculation process were investigated. Also, the optimum conditions for coagulation/flocculation process, such as coagulant dosage, polyelectrolyte dosage, and pH of solution were investigated using jar-test experiment. The effect of different dosages of polyelectrolyte in combination with coagulant was also studied. The results revealed that in the range of pH tested, the optimal operating pH was 9. Percentage removals of 73, 95 and 97 for COD, TP and TSS, respectively, were achieved by the addition of 300mg/L FeCl(3).6H(2)O, whereas 91, 99 and 97% removal of COD, TP and TSS, respectively, were achieved with the addition of 25mg/L polyelectrolyte to 100mg/L ferric chloride. The volume of sludge produced, when ferric chloride was used solely, was higher compared to the use of combination of polyelectrolyte and FeCl(3).6H(2)0. The combined use of coagulant and polyelectrolyte resulted in the production of sludge volume with reduction of 60% of the amount produced, when coagulant was solely used for the treatment. It can be concluded from this study that coagulation/flocculation may be a useful pre-treatment process for beverage industrial wastewater prior to biological treatment.
