Chlorine dioxide by-products in drinking water and their control by powdered activated carbonGrabeel, Margaret N. 23 December 2009 (has links)
The concentrations of chlorine dioxide (CI02), chlorine, chlorite (CIO2), and chlorate (CI03) were evaluated following pretreatment of raw water by CI02 at water treatment plants in New Castle, Pennsylvania; Charleston, West Virginia; Skagit, Washington; and Columbus, Georgia. Chlorite and chlorate concentrations were unaffected by any of the water treatment processes and did not vary as a function of time of travel in the distribution system. Chlorine dioxide, which was analyzed on-site at two water treatment plants, reformed in the clear well and in the distribution system following post chlorination.
The chlorite-removal capability of powdered activated carbon (PAC) was evaluated in both laboratory- and pilot-scale studies. Chlorite removal by PAC in laboratory studies decreased with increasing pH over a range from pH 5.5 to 7.5 and varied with the type of PAC. Chlorite was reduced to chloride at pHs ranging from 5.5 to 7.5, but CI03- formed at the pH 5.5 through 6.0. The pilot plant study; which was conducted at Newport News, Virginia; evaluated CI02 removal by PAC enmeshed in a floc blanket in a pulsed-bed, solids-contact clarifier. An average of 27 percent of the CI02 was removed when the PAC dose was 10 mg/L PAC and 57 percent when it was 20 mg/L PAC. Chlorate was not removed by PAC, but the concentrations could be reduced if the CIOz generator was properly operated. / Master of Science

The production of granular activated carbon from agricultural waste productsVan Dyk, Lizelle Doreen 12 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MEng)--University of Stellenbosch, 2000. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Peach and apricot shells are agricultural waste products. These waste products
accumulate around canneries and food-processing plants in South Africa. No effort is
being made to utilise these waste products. This study is the first part of the product
development from these products i.e. peach shell activated carbon and apricot shell
activated carbon. By producing activated carbon from peach and apricot shells the
solid waste problem is addressed, but most of all a profit can be made.
But why activated carbon? Activated carbons are unique and versatile adsorbent with
a vast amount of adsorption applications. It can be produced via a simple oxidation
reaction with steam and the nature of peach and apricot shells are such that it is
expected that activated carbons with good adsorption properties can be produced from
it. The single largest consumer of activated carbon in South Africa is the gold mining
industry that uses imported coconut shell activated carbon for gold adsorption in the
gold recovery process. Activated carbon is also used as water purification adsorbents.
During this study activated carbons were produced in a fluidized bed reactor at
various activation conditions: 700 - 900°C, 0.0425 - 0.0629 g steamlg char.min and
30 - 60 min. This was done in order to find the optimum activation conditions within
the activation parameter range. The optimal activated carbons were defined as peach
and apricot shell activated carbons that showed good microporous as well as
mesoporous character. The optimal activated carbons produced are: peach shell
activated at 875°C, 0.0533 g stearnlg char. min, 60 min and apricot shell activated
carbon at 850°C, 0.0533 g steamlg char.min, 60min.
The possible use of these optimal activated carbons and two other activated carbons
produced (Peach shell activated carbon 900°C, 0.0425 g steamlg char. min, 60 min
and apricot shell activated carbon 900°C, 0.0425 g steamlg char.min, 60min) were
tested in gold recovery and water purification. The gold adsorption properties of
peach and apricot shell activated carbons were found to be better than two
commercial coconut shell activated carbons (Chemquest 650 and GRC 22). No
definite conclusions could, however, be drawn about the replacement of coconut shell activated carbon with peach or apricot shell activated carbon, because abrasion test
work and thermal regeneration of the experimental carbons still have to be performed.
The experimental activated carbons displayed good phenol adsorption characteristic,
although further test work is required. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Perske- en appelkoospitte is landbouafvalprodukte. Hierdie afvalprodukte versamel
rondom inmaakfabrieke en voedselververkingsaanlegte. Tans word daar geen poging
in Suid-Afrika aangewend om hierdie afvalprodukte te benut nie. Hierdie studie is die
eerste deel van die ontwikkeling van die produkte: Perskepitdop-geaktiveerde
koolstof en appelkoospitdop-geaktiveerde koolstof. Deur geaktiveerde koolstof van
die perske- en appelkoospitdoppe te maak, word nie net 'n antwoord op die
vastestofafvalsprobleem gevind nie, maar daar kan ook geld gemaak word.
Hoekom geaktiveerde koolstof? Aktiveerde koolstowwe is veelsydige en unieke
adsorbente met 'n groot verskeidenheid adsorpsie toepassings. Dit kan vervaardig
word via 'n eenvoudige oksidasie reaksie met stoom en die aard van die perske- en
appelkoospitdoppe is sodanig, dat verwag kan word om geaktiveerde koolstowwe met
goeie adsorpsie eienskappe daarvan te kry. Die grootste enkelverbruiker van
geaktiveerde koolstof in Suid-Afrika is die goudmynbedryf, wat kokosneutdop
geaktiveerde koolstof invoer om goud te herwin. Geaktiveerde koolstof word ook
gebruik vir watersuiwering.
Tydens hierdie studie IS geaktiveerde koolstowwe by verskillende
aktiveeringskondisies in 'n gevloeïdiseerde bed vervaardig: 700 - 900oe, 0.0425 -
0.0629g stoornlg gepiroliseerde pitdoppe.min en 30 - 60 mm. Die
aktiveringskondisies is gevarieer om sodoende die optimale aktiveringskondisies
binne die aktiveringsparameterreeks te kry. 'n Geaktiveerde koolstof is as optimaal
geklassifiseer as dit 'n goeie mikro- sowel as mesostruktuur getoon het. Die optimaal
geaktiveerde koolstowwe is: geaktiveerde koolstof vervaardig van perskepitdoppe by
875°e, 0.0533 g stoornlg gepiroliseerde pitdoppe.min, 60 mm en geaktiveerde
koolstof vervaardig van appelkoospitdoppe by 850oe, 0.0533 g stoornlg
gepiroliseerde pitdoppe.min, 60min.
Die gebruik van die twee optimale geaktiveerde koolstowwe sowel as twee ander
geaktiveerde koolstowwe (perskepitdop-geaktiveerde koolstof, 900oe, 0.0425 g
stoornlg gepiroliseerde pitdoppe.min, 60 min en appelkoospitdop-geaktiveerde koolstof, 850°C, 0.0533 g stoom/g gepiroliseerde pitdoppe.min, 60min) is VIr
goudadsorpsie en watersuiwering ondersoek. Die goudadsorpsie eienskappe van die
perske-en appelkoospitdop-geaktiveerde koolstowwe was beter as die van twee
kommersiële kokosneutdop-geaktiveerde koolstowwe (Chemquest 650 and GRC 22).
Daar kan egter geen definitiewe gevolgtrekkings gemaak word oor die vervanging
van kokosneutdop geaktiveerde koolstowwe met dié van perske of appelkoospitdoppe
nie, aangesien daar nog toetsresultate oor die slytweerstand en reaktiverings
eienskappe van die eksperimentele geaktiveerde koolstowwe uitstaande is.
Die eksperimentele geaktiveerde koolstowwe toon goeie adsorpie ten opsigte van
fenol, maar verdere toetswerk is egter nodig.

Microbiological Studies of Biological Activated Carbon Filters Used in Water TreatmentChang, Eichin 12 1900 (has links)
A collaborative pilot study of the microflora on biological activated charcoal (BAC) filters employed in the tertiary treatment of drinking water revealed the principle bacterial genera to be Pseudomonas, Alcaligenes, Achromobacter, Bacillus, Micrococcus, Corynebacterium, Chromobacterium, Microcyclus and Paracoccus. The microbial population of the filters paralleled seasonal carbon dioxide production. Of particular interest were the effects of the BAC miroorganisms upon precursors of trihalomethanes (THMs). Mixed populations of BAC microorganisms were cultivated for 50 days in a mineral salts-humic acid medium. It was concluded that (1) the BAC microflora enhances the absorptive capacity of the filters; (2) chemico-physical and biological processes operate in concert to lower the concentration of precursors of THMs; and (3) few bacterial pathogens establish themselves on the filters.

Activated carbon and ozone as supplementary water treatment options at Rietvlei Dam16 August 2012 (has links)
M.Ing. / Rietvlei Dam was completed in 1933, and has been utilized as a drinking water source for the City of Pretoria since then. The original process configuration operated for almost 50 years before being upgraded in 1988. This upgrading was mainly due to the eutrophication of the impoundment. The new plant worked excellently under normal conditions but certain serious problems did occur and full production could not be maintained at all times. Activated Carbon and Ozone are two possible solutions to these problems. This study was directed at investigating the possible implementation of Preozonation, Granular Activated Carbon, and Ozone and Granular Activated Carbon in combination (case study), and it was shown that: All these processes are beneficial to the final water quality. Pre-ozonation proved to be the most cost effective process, but the least effective process in improvement of the water quality. Ozone and Granular Activated Carbon in combination proved to be the least cost effective process, but should be the most effective in improvement of the water quality. Granular Activated Carbon proved to be the optimun process with regard to cost and water quality improvement. The final recommendation is the implementation of Granular Activated Carbon with an empty bed contact time of 10 minutes.
