Untreated alum sludge from Surabaya water treatment plant (WTP), which contained high concentration of alum was directly discharged into Surabaya River. It might cause problems because of the accumulation of aluminum in the lower part of the river. Alum could be recovered from the drinking water sludge using the electrolysis method. Aims of this study were to determine the optimum pH and electrical current for electrolysis using carbon-silver electrodes to recover aluminum coagulant from the sludge, and to determine the amount of the recovered alum. The sludge was acidified prior to electrolysis. Acidification was done by adding sulfuric acid at pH 3 and 4. Polarization test was conducted at 100, 200, and 300 mA, in order to determine the optimum electrical current. The electrolysis was performed in one compartment batch recirculation reactor, using silver as cathode and carbon as anode for 10 hours. Values of pH were measured every hour. The precipitated matter in the cathode was weighed, and analysed by means of Inductively Coupled Plasma. The optimum conditions of the electrolysis were achieved at initial pH 3 and electrical current 300 mA. The electrolysis resulted in the highest precipitate of 2.6112 g in the cathode.

Chlorination is the most common disinfection method used in the drinking water production. Reactivity of chlorine with organic molecules could generate disinfection by-product (DBPs), which are harmful to the human health. Natural organic matter (NOM) is a complex mixture of chemicals existing in source water. Because of its complexity, it is conjectured that formation of many different DBPs can arise from the reaction of organic matter and a chemical disinfectant. This study used model compounds as NOM surrogates in order to reveal the specific organic fraction and DBPs formation potential removed by different coagulants. Model compounds, as an artificial sample, were made from a mixture of Suwannee River Humic Acid (SRHA), Suwannee River Fulvic Acid (SRFA), Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA), Alginic Acid (AA). Alum and FeCl3 were used as coagulants. The samples were analyzed for organic parameters, such as total organic carbon (TOC), ultraviolet at 254 nm wavelength (UV254), specific UV absorbance (SUVA), and organic fractionated by high performance size exclusion chromatograph with organic carbon detector (HPSEC-OCD). The concentration of trihalomethanes (THMs) and haloacetic acids (HAAs) was measured to present the DBPs formation. The results show alum and FeCl3 removed biopolymer (Peak A), humic substances-like (Peak B, Peak C) at the same percentage, while low molecular weight acid and neutral (Peak D) showed a higher removal with alum than FeCl3. HAAs removal led to a greater reduction than THMs removal, and FeCl3 showed a higher removal than the alum coagulant. It indicated that alum and FeCl3 coagulant have different ability in removing specific organic fractions, which are precursors of THMs and HAAs formation.

Przedmiotem badań była woda podziemna z utworów czwartorzędowych o zwiększonej zawartości substancji organicznych, której oczyszczanie w układzie konwencjonalnym stwarza problemy technologiczne. Przeprowadzone badania laboratoryjne wykazały, że koagulanty wstępnie zhydrolizowane (Flokor 1, Flokor 1ASW) zapewniły większą skuteczność usuwania zanieczyszczeń organicznych (OWO, RWO) i nieorganicznych (Fe, Mn) z wody podziemnej niż siarczan(VI) glinu, ze względu na większą zawartość polimerowych form glinu. Zakwaszenie wody przed procesem koagulacji do pH=6, bez względu na rodzaj testowanego koagulantu, zwiększyło skuteczność usuwania substancji organicznych oraz zanieczyszczeń powodujących barwę wody, natomiast alkalizacja wody do pH=8,5 zwiększyła skuteczność usuwania związków żelaza, manganu oraz cząstek powodujących mętność wody. Wykazano, że wraz ze wzrostem stopnia polimeryzacji testowanych koagulantów glinowych zmniejszała się zawartość glinu pozostałego w oczyszczonej wodzie, a także wrażliwość koagulantu na zmiany temperatury i pH oczyszczanej wody.

The subject of this research was groundwater from Quaternary formations with the increased concentration of organic substances. Successful treatment of such water generates technological problems and is practically impossible by means of traditional groundwater treatment processes. Laboratory tests showed that the prehydrolyzed aluminum coagulants (Flokor 1, Flokor 1ASW) had higher efficacy of organic (TOC, DOC) and inorganic (Fe, Mn) compound removal from groundwater than alum due to higher content of polymeric aluminum species. Water acidification up to pH=6 prior to coagulation, regardless of the coagulant type, led to an increased efficacy of organic substances and color impurities removal. Moreover, alkalization of water up to pH=8.5 resulted in more efficient removal of iron, manganese and particles being a measure of water turbidity. It was demonstrated that with an increase in polymerization degree of aluminum coagulants both the remaining aluminum concentration in treated water as well as the coagulant sensitivity to changes in temperature and pH of the treated water decreased.

Na podstawie wykonanych badań określono skuteczność wspomagania procesu koagulacji adsorpcją na pylistym węglu aktywnym w usuwaniu mało- i wielkocząsteczkowych związków organicznych z wody naturalnej. W pracy dokonano oceny wpływu ilości dawkowanego koagulantu na skuteczność procesu. Wykazano, że dawkowanie większych ilości koagulantu pozwala na uzyskanie lepszej skuteczności oczyszczania wody oraz że dzięki realizacji procesu koagulacji łącznie z adsorpcją na PWA można znacznie zmniejszyć dawkę koagulantu i równocześnie uzyskać wysoką skuteczność procesu, porównywalną ze skutecznością koagulacji konwencjonalnej, z tym że realizowanej z dawką koagulantu większą o ponad 50%. Skuteczność usuwania substancji organicznych, mierzonych zawartością RWO i absorbancją w UV, uwarunkowana była również ilością dawkowanego węgla pylistego; wraz ze wzrostem jego ilości skuteczność procesu rosła. W całym zakresie testowanych dawek PWA odnotowano wyraźne zmniejszenie wartości SUVA po procesie, co wskazywało na zmniejszenie udziału reaktywnych form RWO, a tym samym na spadek ryzyka powstawania ubocznych produktów dezynfekcji. Analiza skuteczności procesu koagulacji-adsorpcji z udziałem PWA i koagulacji realizowanej bez adsorbentu w usuwaniu z wody zarówno mało-, jak i wielkocząsteczkowych substancji organicznych wykazała, że koagulacja była skuteczna w usuwaniu substancji organicznych o większych masach cząsteczkowych (2,1÷5,3 kDa), podczas gdy wzrost stopnia usunięcia małocząsteczkowych frakcji (1,0÷1,5 kDa) był widoczny dopiero podczas procesu koagulacji łącznie z adsorpcją na PWA.

Experiments were conducted to assess the efficiency of the coagulation-adsorption process in removing low- and high-molecular-weight organic compounds from natural water. The extent of removal achieved in the combined process, where alum coagulation was aided by adsorption on powdered active carbon (PAC), was related to the quantity of the coagulant dose applied. The study has produced the following findings. The increase in the coagulant dose was concomitant with an enhancement of the removal efficiency; when the quantity of the coagulant dose increased, this led to an improvement in the quality of the treated water; the combined process of alum coagulation and PAC adsorption made it possible to reduce substantially the coagulant dose and attain a high efficiency of organic matter removal; the removal efficiency of the combined process was not only comparable with that of the conventional coagulation, but had been achieved with a notably lower coagulant dose than the one required for the conventional process. The removal of organic substances expressed in terms of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and UV absorbance also depended on the quantity of the PAC dosed; as the PAC dose increased, so did the efficiency of the process. Over the entire range of the PAC doses tested, a substantial decrease in the SUVA value was observed after the process. This is an indication that the proportion of the reactive DOC forms has been reduced and, consequently, the risk that disinfection by-products will form. A comparison of the removal efficiency of the alum coagulation-PAC adsorption process with that of the coagulation conducted without an adsorbent has revealed that coagulation as a single process provides efficient removal of high-molecular-weight organic substances (2.1 to 5.3 kDa); an enhanced extent of low-molecular-weight fraction removal (1.0 to 1.5 kDa) was only observed during coagulation combined with PAC adsorption.

The kinetics of degradation of artificially aged, aluminum-sulphate-impregnated paper samples has been measured viscometrically. The full applicability of Ekenstam equation, characteristic of acid hydrolysis of cellulose, proved to be restricted to the region of the low degradation temperatures and/or low Al-contents only. The importance of other degradation processes was growing at higher temperatures and/or Al-contents, thus leading to inadequacy of a simple Arrhenius plot used for the extrapolation of the predicted degradation time to the conditions commonly applied in libraries and archives. Application of mixed-control type of kinetic equation, taking into account the other processes (e.g. oxidation), seems to be inevitable. This would result in taking into consideration at least two Arrhenius-type plots for at least two different rate constants.
