Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Powdered or granular activated carbon adsorption has been widely used in drinking water treatment plants primarily for taste, odor, and synthetic organic contaminant (SOC) removal. However, carbon adsorption has not been widely used for controlling DOM due to the low equilibrium capacities and slow adsorption kinetics. The main reason for these drawbacks is that the majority of commercial activated carbons have been developed primarily to remove small molecular weight hydrophobic SOCs from water. As a result, many commercial carbons do not provide feasible engineering solutions for removing large molecular weight and heterogeneous mixtures of DBP precursors. This research was undertaken to develop a fundamental understanding of tailoring activated carbons for DBP control. The main objectives of this project were to (1) conduct a systematic investigation for developing a fundamental understanding of how activated carbons should be tailored for enhanced removal of dissolved organic matter (DOM) from natural waters; and (2) investigate the effectiveness of some carbon tailoring approaches for disinfection by-products (DBP) formation control at typical drinking water treatment conditions. This project showed that the removal of DBP precursor by GAC adsorption can be significantly improved. GAC adsorption, using modified GACs, can provide another alternative to some water utilities for meeting the Stage 2 requirements of the Disinfectant/Disinfection By-Products Rule.

Download or read book Natural Organic Matter and Disinfection By products Characterization and Control in Drinking Water written by Sylvia E. Barrett and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are many by-products of water disinfection that are still not fully understood and can be potentially harmful. In this volume all the current research in this area is discussed, along with an examination of the role of NOM (natural organic matter) and its relationship to DBP (disinfection by-product) formation and control in drinking water. Understanding the relationship of NOM to DBP may well lead to new techniques for analyzing and treating water and enable reasonable choices to be made for source-water protection, treatment plant process optimization, and distribution system operation to control DBP's. This volume emphasizes the characterization and reactivity of polar natural organic matter. It examines analytical methods which better characterize NOM and determines some of the polar and nonvolatile DBP forms. It presents innovative new methods, sich as capillary electrophoresis for haloacetic aceids and LC/MS for the identification of polar dinking water DBPs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of this research was to investigate NOM removal with activated carbon and MIEX®. Hydrophilic (HPI), hydrophobic (HPO), and transphilic (TPI) NOM was fractionated and subsequent DBP formation from these fractions was studied. Several new adsorptive materials (greensand, carbon nanotubes, iron impregnated activated carbon) were tested for DBP reduction potential. Reductions by the materials were poor and therefore the materials were not investigated further. Activated carbons, although similar in structure, perform differently from each other. Aqua Nuchar® and Hawkins Sabre Series® had greater than 30% difference in TTHM FP reduction under the same test conditions. None of the activated carbons investigated were found to have potential for brominated DBP precursor removal. When MIEX® (magnetic ion exchange) was compared to activated carbon with respect to NOM fraction removal, it was found that MIEX® removed more of the HPI and TPI fractions. This was represented well in DBP FP reductions specifically derived from reactions with NOM in these fractions. In particular, MIEX® decreased NOM in the HPI fraction only 10% more than activated carbon but decreased TTHM FP 34% greater than activated carbon. This suggests that MIEX® preferentially removes DBP precursors to a greater extent than activated carbon. MIEX® was also found to decrease formation of brominated DBPs. SUVA, UV254, DOC, and chlorine demand were all investigated as surrogate parameters for DBPs. UV254 was found to correlate best with DBP formation with 0.56

This book was released on 2016 with total page 73 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In order to comply with the D/DBP Rules, the County of Maui Department of Water Supply (DWS) adopted two DBP control technologies. A GridBee® spray-aeration process was place into DWS's Lower Kula water system's Brooks ground storage tank in February of 2013. In March of 2015 the second DBP control technology, granular activated carbon (GAC), was integrated into DWS's Pi'iholo surface water treatment plant. To investigate the integration effectiveness of GAC and spray-aeration into a water system for DBP control, DBP data was gathered from the system between August of 2011 and August 2016, and analyzed relative to cost and performance.

Download or read book Applications of Activated Carbon to Reduce Disinfection By products in Small Drinking Water Systems written by Allyson Junker and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 103 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The addition of chlorine disinfectant to drinking water during the treatment process results in the formation of disinfection by-products (DBPs). The United States and several other nations regulate for DBPs in drinking water because studies have linked exposure to these compounds to increased incidence of cancers as well as birth and developmental defects. Incorporation of activated carbon(AC) into the drinking water treatment process may reduce the formation of DBPs through the adsorption of natural organic matter (NOM) precursors and formed DBPs. The goal of this research project is to investigate how AC can be better used by small-scale drinking water plants as a feasible option for reducing the DBPs formed in their systems, which would allow them to consistently achieve compliance with the Environmental Protection Agency’s latest regulation Stage 2 D/DBP Rule. This research compared the factors of AC particle size, carbon source material, and concurrent coagulant addition in NOM sorption experiments. Although concurrent chemical addition and carbon source had no significant differences on AC performance, the performance of powdered activated carbon (PAC) was notably greater than granular activated carbon(GAC). Characterization of NOM in source water showed preferential adsorption of hydrophilic NOM compounds onto the AC. Finally, a pilot studied was designed to investigate the potential of granular activated carbon (GAC) to adsorb formed DBPs before entering the distribution system.
