Cationic polymer and clay or metal oxide combinations for natural organic matter removal. 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8
The effect of adding suspended matter in the form of clay or metal oxide when a cationic polymer was employed as the primary coagulant was found to be beneficial. The solids provide both an adsorbent for natural organic matter (NOM) and a nucleating species for precipitating the NOM-polymer complex. Metal oxides in conjunction with a cationic polymer were more promising than clay, with effectiveness in the order Fe2O3 > Fe3O4 > Al2O3 > MnO2. Magnesium oxide at a much lower dose was nearly as effective as ferric oxide, but of course raised the pH level significantly. A simpler and more convenient way of having reactive solids present was to add alum to form flocs; for one of the waters studied the alum dose could be reduced by 67% by adding 1 mg/L of polymer, to give equal or better performance than alum alone at the optimum dose. 相似文献

Effect of two-stage coagulant addition on coagulation-ultrafiltration process for treatment of humic-rich water 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
A novel two-stage coagulant addition strategy applied in a coagulation-ultrafiltration (UF) process for treatment of humic-rich water at neutral pH was investigated in this study. When aluminum sulfate (alum) doses were set at a ratio of 3:1 added during rapid mix stage and half way through flocculation stage, the integrated process of two-stage alum addition achieved almost the same organic matter removal as that of conventional one-stage alum addition at the same overall dose. Whereas membrane fouling could be effectively mitigated by the two-stage addition exhibited by trans-membrane pressure (TMP) developments. The TMP developments were found to be primarily attributed to external fouling on membrane surface, which was closely associated with floc characteristics. The results of jar tests indicated that the average size of flocs formed in two-stage addition mode roughly reached one half larger than that in one-stage addition mode, which implied a beneficial effect on membrane fouling reduction. Moreover, the flocs with more irregular structure and lower effective density resulted from the two-stage alum addition, which caused higher porosity of cake layer formed by such flocs on membrane surface. Microscopic observations of membrane surface demonstrated that internal fouling in membrane pores could be also remarkably limited by two-stage alum addition. It is likely that the freshly formed hydroxide precipitates were distinct in surface characteristics from the aged precipitates due to formation of more active groups or adsorption of more labile aluminum species. Consequently, the flocs could further connect and aggregate to contribute to preferable properties for filtration performance of the coagulation-UF process. As a simple and efficient approach, two-stage coagulant addition strategy could have great practical significance in coagulation-membrane processes. 相似文献

Three polyferric-cationic polymer dual-coagulants were comparatively evaluated in terms of coagulation behavior and floc structure characteristic in the coagulation of humic acid (HA) solution. The first dual-coagulant, PFC-PDADMAC, was prepared by premixing of polyferric chloride (PFC) and polydiallyldimethylammonium (PDADMAC) before dosing. The other two were achieved by dosing PFC and PDADMAC in different order. For the given neutral condition, all three dual-coagulants gave similar HA removal before reaching optimal dosage. The strongest charge neutralization and narrowest effective coagulation dosage range were obtained when PFC was dosed firstly. While the weakest charge neutralization and the broadest effective coagulation dosage were obtained when PDADMAC was used as the primary coagulant. The HA removal of all three dual-coagulants was slightly pH dependent for optimum coagulant doses. Fe(III) hydrolysis species distributions of the dual-coagulants in coagulation process were measured by ferron method. PFC-PDADMAC gave the highest content of active Fe(III) coagulating species which is responsible for the coagulation performance of ferric coagulant. The evolution of floc size and floc fractal dimension (Df) in coagulation process was measured under optimum dose and neutral condition by laser diffraction instrument and small-angle laser light scattering (SALLS), respectively. All three dual-coagulants gave similar final floc size but different floc growth rate and floc structure. Both the growth rate and Df were in the same order: PFC dosed firstly > PDADMAC dosed firstly > PFC-PDADMAC. 相似文献

Alum recovery from water treatment sludge is a promising technique applied for reducing the virgin coagulant demand and the sludge volume and safe disposal of the sludge. The aim of the current study is to optimize alum recovery process from alum sludge in Samannoud water treatment plant, Egypt by acidification technique using sulphuric acid and evaluate the effect of total solids (TS) content in the sludge on alum recovery process. Results showed that the optimal mixing time for alum recovery was 60 min for clariflocculator sludge, whereas 15 min for thickener sludge. Optimum pH value was 1.50 for alum recovery from different sludge types. At optimum conditions, acidification experiments showed that alum recovery percent and sludge volume reduction for clariflocculator sludge were 83 and 91.2%, respectively, versus 35.9 and 45%, respectively, for thickener sludge. Besides, alum recovery and sludge reduction decreased with the increase in TS content in the sludge. 相似文献

This study was undertaken to determine virus removal efficiency by iron coagulation followed by microfiltration (MF) in water treatment using the MS2 bacteriophage (25 nm diameter) as a tracer virus. Results from these bench-scale studies were used to propose a mechanism for virus removal by iron coagulation–MF. Ferric chloride was used as coagulant, and the dosages were 0, 2, 5, and 10 mg/L as Fe(III) with pH adjusted during mixing to 6.3, 7.3 and 8.3. In the absence of iron-coagulation and with less than 2 mg/L Fe, MF alone achieved less than a 0.5 log removal of MS2 virus. However, iron-coagulation pretreatment dramatically improved virus removal, especially in the 5–10 mg/L Fe dose range, ultimately achieving more than 4-log removal at pH 6.3 with 10-mg/L Fe dose. For the 5 and 10 mg/L Fe dosages, decreasing pH in the 8.3–6.3 range resulted in significantly greater virus removal. For 0 and 2 mg/L iron dosages, decreasing pH in the 8.3–6.3 range also improved virus removal, but to a lesser extent. The experimental data indicates negatively charged MS2 viruses first adsorbed onto the positively charged iron oxyhydroxide floc particles before being removed by MF. MS2 viruses were not inactivated in iron or aluminum coagulation as evidenced by the fact that their concentrations before and after coagulation, settling, and re-suspension of the coagulated sludge were not statistically different. 相似文献

This is the second of a two-part series investigating chemical aspects of coagulation using AI salts. Part I of the series examined the hydrolytic reactions of AI. In this paper, the coagulation of fulvic acid (FA) by alum and polyaluminum chloride (PACI) is examined. An Al speciation methodology was used to examine complexation reactions between Al and FA for water treatment conditions. From pH 5 to 7 and at typical coagulant doses, hydrolysis and complexation of Al is described by a simple model based on the reaction stoichiometry between AI, FA and OH−. Model results show that when alum is used as a coagulant, Al complexed with FA is hydrolyzed to a ligand number,
This is similar to the ligand number for the prehydrolyzed PACI and explains similarities in dose requirements for these coagulants. Effects of temperature on coagulation performance are shown to be largely chemical in nature. Chemical aspects of coagulation are discussed and the importance of complex formation in coagulation is examined. 相似文献

The use of turbulence promoter can effectively enhance the permeate flux in crossflow microfiltration (CFMF) of particulate suspensions. Flux enhancement which is generally attributed to the reduction in cake thickness, however, has still not been clearly understood. In this study, the effects of turbulence promoter on cake properties (thickness, porosity and particle size) were investigated during CFMF of calcium carbonate suspension. It indicates that turbulence promoter has important effects on cake properties that directly affect the cake resistance. The significant reduction in thickness and slight increase in porosity are positive to reduce the cake resistance. The remarkable decrease in particle size is the negative effect due to the increased specific resistance of a cake. As a whole, the overall cake resistance is still diminished by turbulence promoter and therefore permeate flux is improved. The theoretical calculation of cake resistance shows a good consistence with the experimental result. The cake properties in both cases (using a turbulence promoter or not) almost exhibit the similar trends under various operating conditions. Differently, the use of turbulence promoter can greatly alleviate the effects of transmembrane pressure or feed concentration on growth of cake layer and intensify the effects of inlet velocity on diminishing the particle deposition. 相似文献

Electrocoagulation versus chemical coagulation: coagulation/flocculation mechanisms and resulting floc characteristics 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Electrocoagulation (EC) and chemical coagulation (CC) are employed in water treatment for particle removal. Although both are used for similar purposes, they differ in their dosing method - in EC the coagulant is added by electrolytic oxidation of an appropriate anode material, while in CC dissolution of a chemical coagulant is used. These different methods in fact induce different chemical environments, which should impact coagulation/flocculation mechanisms and subsequent floc formation. Hence, the process implications when choosing which to apply should be significant. This study elucidates differences in coagulation/flocculation mechanisms in EC versus CC and their subsequent effect on floc growth kinetics and structural evolution. A buffered kaolin suspension served as a representative solution that underwent EC and CC by applying aluminum via additive dosing regime in batch mode. In EC an aluminum anode generated the active species while in CC, commercial alum was used. Aluminum equivalent doses were applied, at initial pH values of 5, 6.5 and 8, while samples were taken over pre-determined time intervals, and analyzed for pH, particle size distribution, ζ potential, and structural properties. EC generated fragile flocs, compared to CC, over a wider pH range, at a substantially higher growth rate, that were prone to restructuring and compaction. The results suggest that the flocculation mechanism governing EC in sweep floc conditions is of Diffusion Limited Cluster Aggregation (DCLA) nature, versus a Reaction Limited Cluster Aggregation (RLCA) type in CC. The implications of these differences are discussed. 相似文献

Pre-coagulation for microfiltration of an upland surface water 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9
The effect of different coagulants on cake formation and hydraulic resistance in membrane filtration of strongly coloured (SUVA> or =4.8) upland surface water has been studied at bench-scale under constant pressure conditions. Coagulants used were aluminium sulphate, polyaluminium chloride, ferric chloride and ferric sulphate. Optimisation of coagulation parameters was carried by conventional jar testing. The R'c (specific cake resistance in m(-2)) values were determined for all coagulants over a range of coagulant doses and slow mixing flocculation periods. Experiments indicated slight differences in cake formation trends between ferric- and aluminium-based coagulants and chloride and sulphate counterions, but that the range of measured R'c values was small (0.9 and 2.6 x 10(18) m(-2)) over the range of doses studied. Greater than 99% UV(254) removal was achieved with every coagulant, whereas dissolved organic carbon (DOC) removal ranged from 78% to 88%. Optimisation of the pre-coagulation-membrane filtration process suggests ferric chloride to be slightly superior for the feedwater matrix studied on the basis of DOC removal, whereas ferric sulphate gave slightly lower filter cake specific resistance values. 相似文献

A method is described to evaluate two methods of phosphorus (P) management in lakes using aluminum sulfate (alum)--in-lake and tributary (inflow) treatment--and compare the resulting in-lake P levels. For in-lake treatment, a technique is described to calculate the optimum alum dose based on measurement of "mobile P" in lake sediments. Mobile P is defined as loosely sorbed and Fe-P, the fraction of sediment P subject to release under anoxic conditions. A linear relationship (r2 = 0.90) was found between P-release rate and the mobile-P content in sediment cores. Addition of alum to aliquots of sediment showed predictable relationships between (i) alum dose and aluminum-bound P (Al-P) formed and (ii) mobile-P loss and Al-P formation. The decrease in sediment P release that would result from in-lake alum treatment was estimated from the residual mobile P after treatment. A method also is presented to estimate the amount of alum needed to bind potentially mineralizable sediment organic P. For inflow treatment, jar tests with urban runoff in metropolitan St. Paul and Minneapolis, Minnesota (USA) were used to study effects of alum dose on P removal from water. With sufficient mixing, a dose of 8 mg AlL(-1) reduced total P (TP) and soluble reactive P to low levels regardless of pH, TSS, and TOC, but doses 相似文献

Enhanced coagulation for high alkalinity and micro-polluted water: the third way through coagulant optimization 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Conventional coagulation is not an effective treatment option to remove natural organic matter (NOM) in water with high alkalinity/pH. For this type of water, enhanced coagulation is currently proposed as one of the available treatment options and is implemented by acidifying the raw water and applying increased doses of hydrolyzing coagulants. Both of these methods have some disadvantages such as increasing the corrosive tendency of water and increasing cost of treatment. In this paper, an improved version of enhanced coagulation through coagulant optimization to treat this kind of water is demonstrated. A novel coagulant, a composite polyaluminum chloride (HPAC), was developed with both the advantages of polyaluminum chloride (PACl) and the additive coagulant aids: PACl contains significant amounts of highly charged and stable polynuclear aluminum hydrolysis products, which is less affected by the pH of the raw water than traditional coagulants (alum and ferric salts); the additives can enhance both the charge neutralization and bridging abilities of PACl. HPAC exhibited 30% more efficiency than alum and ferric salts in dissolved organic carbon (DOC) removal and was very effective in turbidity removal. This result was confirmed by pilot-scale testing, where particles and organic matter were removed synergistically with HPAC as coagulant by sequential water treatment steps including pre-ozonation, coagulation, flotation and sand filtration. 相似文献

When ferric chloride is applied to a mixture of sludge pinpoint flocs and dispersed cells, a preferential removal of the flocs is observed at low dose levels. The dispersed cells, which constitute a small percentage of the total suspended solids, require higher dose of coagulant for their complete removal. On a weight basis, the presence of dispersed cells in an activated sludge effluent will cause a significant increase in the stoichiometric quantity of ferric chloride required for complete removal of all suspended biological solids.The coagulation process can be enhanced using a two-step pH control method. Instead of maintaining the solution pH constant at the optimum level during the period of addition of ferric chloride, it was allowed to drop and then adjusted back to the optimum level. The two-step pH control method, which can be implemented by delaying the addition of bases required for pH adjustment, results in more efficient use of the coagulant for destabilizing the biological solids. Results of laboratory studies employing this technique have shown a 25% reduction in the ferric chloride dose requirements. 相似文献

In this paper the recovery of alum used as a coagulant in water treatment has been examined. This chemical has a very large influence on the operating costs of treatment plants. A factorial design has been used in the experimental work. The factors tested have been pH of coagulation, pH of redissolution and temperature. Optimal recovery conditions have been found regarding these variables and the recovered alum has proved to have coagulation characteristics as good as the fresh one. A detailed engineering cost analysis has also been made for the optimal conditions achieved. The feasibility study has shown the high profit level of the process. 相似文献

The control of the flocculation of water from tidal rivers is difficult because the water characteristics oscillate rapidly. Especially ionic strength and suspended solids concentration may have 10-fold changes in less than 6 h. Hence a relationship between an optimal dose of coagulant and raw water characteristics was sought with the aid of jar-tests.A pH of 6 was shown to be an acceptable value for flocculation with iron chloride and alum. The influence of change of ionic strength was found to be negligible. Suspended solids concentration proved to be a decisive control parameter. The von Smoluchowski model is appropriate to describe the kinetics of this sweep coagulation. 相似文献

Suspended particle destabilization in retained urban stormwater as a function of coagulant dosage and redox conditions 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Source area runoff entrains a hetero-disperse particle size distribution (PSD). When retained for clarification, larger sediment and settleable particles are mainly influenced by gravitational forces, while the suspended particles, in particular the clay-size particles, are subject to coagulation phenomena. Such phenomena occur in untreated runoff as well as runoff treated with a coagulant, albeit to differing rates and extents. Runoff PSDs and water chemistry indices including zeta potential (xi) are potentially modified during inter-event stormwater retention in best management practices (BMPs). This study examined xi of clay-size particles (<2 microm) in retained runoff, captured from an instrumented watershed, subject to batch coagulation and variable redox conditions. Separate parallel tests were also conducted with wastewater. Significant turbidity, particle mass (measured as total suspended solids (TSS)) and volume concentration (as total volume concentration (TVC)) reduction generated by alum and ferric chloride consistently occurred at a xi in the range of -15 to about -10 mV. Alum addition produced a charge reversal at dosing above 60 mg/L (18 x 10(-5)M) while ferric chloride did not reverse charge. With respect to turbidity and TSS reductions, alum outperformed ferric chloride, without the need for pH control. While xi illustrated no clear trend during aerobic retention, anoxic retention resulted in a trend for xi approaching the isoelectric point. The decrease in negative xi towards the isoelectric point appears to be a result of the coupled pH depression under reductive conditions and an increase in conductivity. Results have significant implications for BMPs that retain runoff between events. 相似文献

《The International journal of environmental studies》2013,70(6):617-618
The present study involved the use of a pilot scale water treatment plant to treat turbid surface water from a stream using processed Moringa oleifera seed and alum as primary coagulants. At low initial turbidity of 21.5 to 49.3 NTU, residual turbidities of 2.7, 1.8 and 1.4 NTU were achieved after treatment using Moringa oleifera, alum, and alum with Moringa oleifera as coagulant‐aid, respectively. For medium turbidities varying from 51.8 to 114 NTU, lowest residual turbidities of 2.9, 1.2 and 1.4 were achieved after treatment using Moringa oleifera, alum, and alum with Moringa oleifera as coagulant‐aid, respectively. For high turbidity varying from 163 to 494 NTU, minimum residuals of 1.4, 1.9 and 0.9 NTU were achieved after treatment using Moringa oleifera, alum, and alum with Moringa oleifera as coagulant‐aid, respectively. The proposed mechanism for turbidity removal by Moringa oleifera seed in this study is a combination of partial‐charge neutralization and micro‐bridging or an electrostatic patch mechanism based on the results of zeta potential measurements. 相似文献

Enhanced coagulation using a magnetic ion exchange resin 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
The objective of this investigation was to examine the effectiveness of a magnetic ion exchange resin (MIEX) to enhance the coagulation of disinfection by-product precursors in nine surface waters, each representing a different element of the USEPA's 3 x 3 enhanced coagulation matrix. The effect of MIEX-pretreatment on the requisite alum dose needed for subsequent coagulation of turbidity was also evaluated. Enhanced coagulation with MIEX was found to be very effective for removing trihalomethane (THM) and haloacetic acid (HAA) precursors from the nine waters examined. THM and HAA formation potential was reduced by more than 60% in all of the waters studied; reductions approaching 90% were seen in the waters with the highest specific ultraviolet absorbance values. The residual total organic carbon concentration, ultraviolet absorbance, and THM and HAA formation potential were all substantially lower as a result of MIEX and alum treatment compared to alum coagulation alone. MIEX pre-treatment also lowered the coagulant demand of each of the waters substantially. 相似文献
