Abstract:

An activated unsaturated sand filter (AUSF) is one of only a few of the filtration technologies utilized to treat waters and wastewaters that use unsaturated filter media. AUSF employs sand coated with potassium permanganate and operates with an open chamber allowing free air flow into the column of sand. The AUSF also benefits from operation without the need for a sedimentation unit. Previous studies have demonstrated the efficient removal of iron and manganese using an AUSF, however, to date there are still very limited studies available that use AUSF technology for the removal of metals fro

Abstract:

Manganese is typically found in all water supplies in the United States. Manganese concentrations are usually higher in water obtained from groundwater sources or resei:voir hypolinutlons. This is because manganese is more soluble in the reducing conditions normally found in these waters. Although manganese is not known to cause any health related problems, the secondary drinking water MCL for manganese is 0.05 mg/L. This standard was set to eliminate aesthetic problems associated with manganese bearing waters. In this study continuous-flow filters were operated in both pre-oxidative (oxidiz

Although the kinetics and mechanism of monochloramine decay in organic-free waters are relatively well understood, those in natural waters are not, due to exceedingly complex and poorly defined interactions of monochloramine with natural organic matter (NOM) and particles.

However, how these changes in water constituents affect stability of the residual disinfectant, or monochloramine in part

Free chlorine (HOCl, OC1â ) was chosen to increase soluble manganese removal efficiency because chlorine is readily available and inexpensive. Filter media from four different water treatment plants were used in this study.

The mass distribution within each fraction was adjusted by using a new permeation coefficient model to account for membrane rejection. Dissolved organic and soluble BOD (sBOD) removals in a trickling filter were studied for the different size fractions. The Logan trickling filter model was recalibrated and used to generate predicted removals by size fraction of sBOD, dissolved organic carbon (DOC), and biodegradable DOC (
