AWWA JAW24446 Journal AWWA - Physicochemical Aspects of Particle Removal in Depth Filtration

Journal Article by American Water Works Association, 12/01/1988

Tobiason, John E.;O'Melia, Charles R.

Full Description

The objectives of this work were to include chemical effects in the fundamental theories that describe the deposition of particles in granular media filters, to test the theories experimentally, and to use these results in assessing requirements for effective filtration and the capabilities of the process. In particular, the effects of changes in solution chemistry on the deposition of relatively large or non-Brownian particles are examined. Such particles are large enough, typically with diameters greater than 2-3 um, that their transport is not significantly affected by Brownian diffusion. Includes 67 references, tables, figures.
