Book excerpt: OBJECTIVES: This project addressed the issue of effects of natural organic matter (NOM) on the corrosion of lead-containing materials in potable water. Specifically, the research focused on the effects of NOM in the corrosion of leaded brass, lead tin solder, and lead pipe. BACKGROUND: Lead is released because of the corrosion of lead-containing materials such as lead pipe, lead tin solder, and lead-containing brasses. Of all water quality parameters affecting the corrosion of metals in potable water, the influence of NOM has been the least studied. NOM is an important, site-specific component of water quality that is responsible for aesthetic properties (color) and for chemical reactions exemplified by the generation of disinfection by-products. NOM also binds pesticides, absorbs at water/solid phase boundaries, and forms strong complexes with many metallic cations, including lead. HIGHLIGHTS: Effects of NOM on corrosion depend on the corroding material. For example, the corrosion of and lead release from brass in potable water has specific features. In this alloy, lead forms a separate micro-phase that is galvanically coupled with the copper zinc matrix, thus promoting preferential oxidation and release of lead. Similar phenomena were observed for other materials. APPROACH: Studies were conducted using synthetic water qualities representing a highly plumbosolvent low-pH water, a low-aggressive high-pH water, and a medium-pH orthophosphate-containing water. NOM used in the study was isolated from Judy Reservoir, near the city of Mt. Vernon, Wash. This NOM was altered by ozonation, chlorination, and coagulation. The comparison of effects observed in the lab studies was made based on the data obtained for coupons exposed at selected sites and was also related to pilot-scale projects in which the efficiency of corrosion-mitigation water treatments was evaluated. RESULTS/FINDINGS: Soluble lead in the absence of NOM was low and close to theoretical predictions. NOM always induced an increase of soluble lead and caused relatively large colloidal particles to break down into smaller fragments. The major increase of soluble lead caused by NOM was found in the dissolved organic carbon range between 0 and 3 mg/L. The morphology of surfaces was very sensitive to the presence of NOM. Effects of NOM alteration by ozonation and chlorination on lead release were secondary in comparison with the effects of the presence of NOM. In general, the effects of NOM on the rate of corrosion depend on the exposure time and the nature of the corroding material. Overall, the presence of NOM may be a major factor affecting lead release from lead pipe, lead tin solder, and leaded brass or bronze. The adverse effects of NOM may be especially prominent in low-pH, low-alkalinity water qualities. Increasing pH and alkalinity are likely to alleviate the adverse effects of NOM. IMPACT: Water utilities with particularly high levels of NOM in source waters may be vulnerable to greater lead release in distribution systems and household plumbing. Control strategies such as pH and alkalinity control may be effective for reducing lead release. Risks of lead release may be somewhat evaluated from this research based on the presence of NOM and other contributing factors.

This book was released on 2016-04-15 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The management of small water supplies presents a unique challenge globally, in countries at all stages of development. A combination of lack of resources, limited understanding of the risks and poor expertise means that individuals and communities may face serious health risks from these supplies. This is not only due to microbiological contamination, but also from contamination by metals, either due to natural or man-made contamination of the source water or through leaching from plumbing materials due to inadequate conditioning and corrosion inhibition and use of inappropriate materials. This Best Practice Guide aims to share best practice and experience from around the world on a practical level. It looks at general issues relating to small supplies and ways of managing these, adopting a Water Safety Plan approach to deliver sound and lasting improvements to quality. Management techniques and treatment relating to specific metals will be covered, from a theoretical and practical perspective, to deliver a publication that will act as an authoritative guide for all those faced with the problem of ensuring the quality of a small water supply. Varied case-studies will help to illustrate issues and ways in which they have been resolved.

Download or read book Controlling Lead Release To Drinking Water written by Benjamin F. Trueman and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work explored various approaches to controlling lead exposure via drinking water: orthophosphate treatment, limiting complexing or adsorbing species in distributed water, and lead service line replacement (LSLR). As determined by residential sampling, full LSLR reduced water lead levels by 35 - 87% within one month, while partial LSLR was associated with a greater frequency of elevated lead even after six months (27% of 1st draw samples > 15 μg L-1 vs. 13% pre-replacement). Upstream iron corrosion was a significant factor in these observations: compared with lined distribution mains, lead levels 6 mo. post-replacement were higher by factors of 1.9 (full LSLR) and 4.8 (partial LSLR) at sites supplied by unlined (corroded) iron pipe. Upstream iron corrosion also accompanied an average increase in lead release of 96 μg L-1 from a model system. This effect may explain particularly elevated lead levels after partial LSLR and it may be attributed to adsorptive and electrochemical phenomena. Size-exclusion chromatography (SEC) data were consistent with mobilization of lead via adsorption to suspended iron (oxyhydr)oxides: colloidal/nanosize iron and lead were strongly correlated in point-of-use samples (R2average = 0.96). Galvanic corrosion of lead by iron oxide minerals also increased lead release by a factor of 9.0 compared with uniform corrosion in the absence of iron. Orthophosphate immobilized lead oxidized in galvanic cells as insoluble hydroxypyromorphite (Pb5(PO4)3OH) and in field studies, increasing the orthophosphate concentration from 0.5 to 1.0 mg PO4 L-1 reduced lead release by 38% within 8 months. Humic acid, by contrast, mobilized lead oxidized in galvanic cells, increasing lead release by a factor of 9.3 compared with an organic-free electrolyte. This was attributed largely to complexation: SEC data were consistent with formation of a soluble lead-humate species. Polyphosphates may also increase lead solubility via complexation, and SEC may aid in understanding this phenomenon in the field. In a water system dosing polyphosphate, lead was present in a soluble SEC fraction strongly associated with phosphorus. In field samples collected from a separate system-where polyphosphate reverted almost entirely to orthophosphate-lead was instead present in a colloidal fraction associated with iron and natural organic matter.
Download or read book Role of Water Chemistry in Lead Release During Drinking Water Supply and Augmentation written by Anushka Mishrra and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lead is a toxic heavy metal and legacy contaminant in drinking water that can be released from lead service lines and lead-containing premise plumbing. Lead concentrations in water are sensitive to changes in water chemistry. The extent of lead release is often driven by the solubility of the corrosion products formed on the interior of the pipes. Therefore, it is critical to advance our understanding of the extent of lead released from different lead-based plumbing materials at equilibrium and the ability to control lead when it exceeds the regulatory levels. Lead measured in the 1st liter of water collected from a tap can be significantly different from the lead measured in the water parcels beyond the 1st liter. The differences in the lead measured are usually driven by the differences in the types of pipe materials in contact with water during stagnation in the overall configuration of a service line that supplies a residence and the premise plumbing within the residence. The lead measured at the tap is regulated by the United States Environmental Protection Agency under the Lead and Copper Rule of 1991, which stipulates that the 90th percentile of lead concentrations should be below 15 [mu]g/L. Recent revisions to the LCR introduced a 5th liter sample collection in addition to 1st liter sample for monitoring lead at residences with lead service lines (LSLs). However, there is limited information regarding the extent to which the 1st and 5th liter lead concentrations will differ. A systematic approach based on equilibrium solubility modelling can be used to accurately predict the lead in the 5th liter if the water stagnates within the LSL long enough to reach equilibrium. A national database was created with information on the 90th percentile 1st liter lead and key water chemistry variables from 434 very large public water systems in the United States in 2019. The solubility-based model was used to estimate dissolved lead concentrations in equilibrium with the lead corrosion products predicted to form in these systems. Solubility-based predictions exceeded the 90th percentile 1st liter lead for 98.9% of systems. While this was approach can be used for making conservative estimates for the 5th liter, it cannot be used to predict lead in the 1st liter. Process-based factors such as rates of dissolution, mass transfer and water usage patterns in addition to the water chemistry usually drive the 1st liter lead. In the absence of historical data required to implement a process-based model, an empirical approach built upon artificial neural network model was used for predicting 1st liter lead. Lead concentrations in drinking water can be lowered with the help of corrosion inhibitors. Sodium silicate is one such corrosion inhibitor and in typical deployments its addition results in an increase in the pH of water that can lower the solubility of lead corrosion products in addition to an increase in dissolved silicate. However, the role of sodium silicate independent of the pH-based lead control is not well understood. Pipe loop experiments were used to determine the effect of sodium silicate on lead release from LSLs harvested from a water system that has one of the Great Lakes as its source water. The LSLs were first conditioned with a synthetic water similar to the source water chemistry. The conditioned LSLs were then tested at two pH conditions: the original source water pH and an elevated pH. The corrosion scales were periodically assessed to investigate silicate accumulation in the scales. A similar approach was also used to investigate the effect of sodium silicate on lead release from new copper pipes containing lead solder. At the original source water pH and dissolved silicate concentrations of 0.33 mM, sodium silicate effectively lowered lead release from LSLs to lead concentrations below 10 mg/L, but it did not have any effect on the lead release from copper pipes containing lead solder. To further probe the mechanism of corrosion inhibition exhibited by sodium silicate within LSLs, supplemental batch-scale experiments were carried out to explore the interactions between dissolved silicate and corrosion scales developed inside of LSLs. These batch scale experiments complemented the previous pipe loop experiments by allowing a focus on chemical interactions in the absence of any mass transfer limitations. Corrosion of service lines and premise plumbing can be sensitive to changes in the source water chemistry. Despite the resiliency that introduction of alternative water sources (e.g., direct potable reuse and desalination) into existing drinking water distribution systems offers, blending water supplies can impact the metal release and microbial communities within premise plumbing. Long-term pipe loop experiments with new copper pipes containing lead solder and with new brass rods with 3% lead were carried out to study the impact of gradual and abrupt introduction of advanced treated water (ATW) on drinking water quality with a primary emphasis on release of metals. The pipes were conditioned for six months with the baseline water (BLW) supply. Since the as-received ATW is highly purified with a low pH (
