Contaminant
Manganese was removed first through adsorption and filtration with the addition 4.67 kg
of MnO2, about 9.1% of the manganese was removed as a solid bringing the
concentration down from 0.55 mg/L to 0.05 mg/L. Aluminum and the high amount of
total dissolved solids was removed through reverse osmosis; this decreased the masses
about 51% and 47%, respectively. The active bacteria count went down dramatically
through UV light, which deactivates these bacteria rendering them harmless, from 107
active bacteria to 0.0001 active bacteria.
Analysis:
the adsorbent, which reacts with the manganese in the wastewater: (page 529)
Eq. 1: Mn + MnO2 (S) 2MnO(S)
This process is then followed by a filtration tank that removes the solid MnO as sludge is
then dried and turned into a biosolid. The adsorption and filtration process is then
followed by reverse osmosis to remove the aluminum and total dissolved solid. The
amount of total dissolved solids, manganese, and aluminum must be fairly low before the
next process of disinfection, because these dissolved constituents impact UV
disinfection either directly via absorbance (increasing absorbance serves to attenuate UV
light to a larger degree) or via fouling of UV lamps such that a reduced intensity is
applied to the bulk liquid medium. (686)
Summary:
and UV light can prove to be useful in this time of crisis of not only producing clean
potable water, but also producing a nutrient biosolid and reducing the amount of
wastewater being discharged back into the environment.
