Field investigation of arsenic in ceramic pot filter-treated drinking water
Ceramic pot filters (CPFs) is one of several household water treatment technologies that is used to treat drinking water in developing areas. The filters have the advantage of being able to be manufactured using primarily locally available materials and local labor. However, naturallyoccurring arsenic present in the clay used to make the filters has the potential to contaminate the water in ...

Continuous filament media revolutionize string wound cartridges
Depth filter cartridges made from a cotton string wound media and a metal core were first introduced in the market in the mid-1930s. By the late 1970s cartridges with a polypropylene (PP) core and yarn had become popular because they had a very wide range of chemical resistance, and therefore could be used in a wide variety of applications. Initially, the string media was a roving (a bulky ...

Removal of arsenic from drinking water using modified fly-ash bed
The removal of arsenic from drinking water by filtration through modified fly-ash bed is discussed. The preparation and characteristics of the bed material and the effects of different parameters like pH and the presence of other constituents are described. Various arsenic compounds in synthetic mixtures as well as drinking water samples containing arsenic have been investigated. The ...

All about ultrafiltration system, its mechanism, process, and application
An ultrafiltration system is based on numerous membrane filtrations, where pressure causes screening through a semipermeable membrane. In this method, the submerged solid particles and the solutes of greater mass are reserved within, and particles of low mass escape through membrane within the filtrate. Ultrafiltration system is widely used in various industries for water purification. These are ...

Use of anthropogenic gadolinium as a tracer for bank filtrate in drinking water wells
Knowledge of the amount of bank filtrate in raw water is crucial for drinking water suppliers using water wells in close proximity to rivers, in particular if those rivers are strongly affected by anthropogenic activities, e.g. receiving effluents from waste water treatment plants. Analysis of organic micropollutants as tracer compounds is costly and time-consuming, and results may be biased by ...

Ceramic membrane ultrafiltration of natural surface water with ultrasound enhanced backwashing
Ultrafiltration membrane cleaning with ultrasound enhanced backwashing was investigated with two ceramic membrane systems in parallel. One of them was subjected to ultrasound during backwashing, the other acted as a reference system. The feed water was directly taken from a creek with a sedimentation process as only pre-treatment. The cleaning performance was improved with ultrasound but after 3 ...

Removal of geosmin and 2-methylisoborneol through biologically active sand filters
The removal of taste and odour compounds from drinking water is a constant challenge to water authorities. Although adverse odours do not present a risk to human health, their presence often leads to a misconception that the water is unsafe for drinking. 2-Methylisoborneol (MIB) and geosmin are the most common causes of earthy/musty odour, and are not easily removed by conventional treatment ...

Design and management of rainwater harvesting systems to control water quality for potable purposes in Cu Khe, Vietnam
There are debates about whether rainwater is suitable as drinking water. A serious shortcoming of the debate is that there are differences in the design and management of rainwater harvesting (RWH) systems. This study is based on the performance of two RWH systems that are used for drinking purposes at a kindergarten and a primary school in Cu Khe, Vietnam. Each system comprised a painted ...

Behaviour of brominated and chlorinated flame retardants during drinking water treatment
Flame retardants are chemicals that are added to plastic materials in order to prevent them from catching fire and to slow down the burning process. Due to the widespread occurrence of flame retardants in the environment, it can be expected that especially the more hydrophilic compounds already contaminate raw water resources of water utilities. In this paper results of laboratory-scale ...
