Suspended versus dissolved solidsSuspended versus dissolved solidsSuspended versus dissolved solidsSuspended versus dissolved solidsSuspended versus dissolved solidsSuspended versus dissolved solidsSuspended versus dissolved solidsSuspended versus dissolved solids Distinction between dissolved and suspended solids varies greatly in the

literature.

There are no theoretical cut-offs for these particles

Can only have a cutoff defined based on operational convenience

Choice of filter pore size (anywhere from 1.5 micron to 0.2 micron) isbased on operational requirement or objective.

Colloids fall into either category ‘operationally’ speaking.

Standard methods Dissolved solids are measured after filtration through glass fiber 

filters (no ash residue on burning)

Recommended filters: Whatman 934AH has nominal pore size of 1.5 micron; Millipore AP40 -?

Bacteriological requirements Separation of bacteria from water (especially drinking water 

samples) requires much smaller pore sizes

0.2 microns ensures bacterial removal

0.45 microns is often used by researchers

Coagulation practiceCoagulation practiceCoagulation practiceCoagulation practiceCoagulation practiceCoagulation practiceCoagulation practiceCoagulation practice  Alum doses are generally in the range of 5 to 50 mg/L Effective from pH of 5 to 7.5 (see solubility diagram)

Ferric chloride Effective from pH 4.5 to 9

Surface waters can be grouped into 4 categories Group 1: high turbidity – low alkalinity

Lowering of pH makes coagulation more effective, but neutralization maybecome necessary

 

30

Group 2: high turbidity – high alkalinity Buffering by alkalinity is adequate for maintaining pH

Adsorption and charge neutralization will be less effective than in lowalkalinity waters

Higher coagulant dose for sweep floc formation

Group 3: low turbidity – high alkalinity Colloid conc is low, therefore adding turbidity causing particles like clay will

improve coagulation (can reduce coagulant dose req.)

Group 4: low turbidity – low alkalinity Additional turbidity or alkalinity has to be added to improve coagulation;

better to add both; direct filtration instead of settling followed by filtration is

another good option (microfloc formation)PRT 1985PRT 1985PRT 1985PRT 1985

Particle Transport ProcessesParticle Transport ProcessesParticle Transport ProcessesParticle Transport ProcessesParticle Transport ProcessesParticle Transport ProcessesParticle Transport ProcessesParticle Transport Processes  Aggregation of destabilized colloids requires flocculation

Flocculation is based on enhancing interparticle collisions

Greater the number of collisions, greater the probability that the particleswill aggregate and floc will be formed

Three physical processes for interparticle collisions to occur 1. Brownian diffusion (perikinetic flocculation)

Random motion of particles due to collision with water molecules

constant and T= abs temp, deg K2. Fluid shear (orthokinetic flocculation)

Driving force is velocity gradient (G) in either laminar or turbulent fluidfields

Gt = design parameter = measure of the relative velocity of twoGt = design parameter = measure of the relative velocity of twoGt = design parameter = measure of the relative velocity of twoGt = design parameter = measure of the relative velocity of two

particles of fluid and the distance between themparticles of fluid and the distance between themparticles of fluid and the distance between themparticles of fluid and the distance between them Gt values range from 104 to 105 for t ranging from 10 to 30 min

3. Differential settling

Vertical transport of particles results in collisions

Driving force is gravity, controlling parameter is settling velocity of particle
