Optimization of Fenton's reagent coupled to Dissolved Air Flotation to remove cyanobacterial odorous metabolites and suspended solids from raw surface water
Ferrous salts are commonly used as coagulants in Water Treatment Plants (WTPs). When these salts are combined with hydrogen peroxide in acidic conditions – besides coagulation – an additional Advanced Oxidation Process (Fenton's reagent) can take place. Using a response surface methodology, this paper presents the optimization of a novel treatment system constituted by Fenton's reagent (FE) and ...

Update on Mt Pleasant WTP Incorporating the MIEX ® DOC Process and How it Compares With a Plant Operating in Enhanced Coagulation Mode
Natural organic matter (NOM) is a major factor impacting on water treatment processes. NOM is a precursor of disinfectant by-products (DBP), a food source for regrowth of micro-organisms and makes downstream processes such as membrane filtration and activated carbon less efficient. Reducing NOM in conventional treatment plants can be achieved by using enhanced coagulation, whereby additional ...
