  2. 11. Modern Artificial Recharge Plants : Combining chemical flocculation with aquifer recharge

    Author : Kristofer Hägg; Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Natural organic matter NOM ; Chemical flocculation; Ultrafiltration membrane; Disc filtration; Managed Aquifer Recharge;

    Abstract : Water supply security is increasingly becoming a challenge worldwide. Surface waters, which are often used for drinking water production, have experienced an increase in natural organic matter (NOM) and frequency of algae blooms. Water quantity is also an issue due to increasing populations and potable water demand. READ MORE

  4. 12. Phase transformation and surface chemistry of secondary iron minerals formed from acid mine drainage

    Author : Jörgen Jönsson; Lars Lövgren; Per Persson; Staffan Sjöberg; Douglas B Kent; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Inorganic chemistry; schwertmannite; goethite; lepidocrocite; acid mine drainage; sulphate; natural organic matter; mineral surface; infrared spectroscopy; EXAFS; XRD; ternary surface complex; copper II ; cadmium II ; lead II ; zinc II ; Oorganisk kemi; Inorganic chemistry; Oorganisk kemi; Inorganic Chemistry; oorganisk kemi;

    Abstract : The mining of sulphidic ore to extract metals such as zinc and copper produces huge quantities of waste material. The weathering and oxidation of the waste produces what is commonly known as Acid Mine Drainage (AMD), a dilute sulphuric acid rich in Fe(II) and heavy metals. READ MORE

  5. 13. Iron and aluminium speciation in Swedish freshwaters : Implications for geochemical modelling

    Author : Carin Sjöstedt; Jon Petter Gustafsson; Peggy O'Day; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Geochemical equilibrium modelling; pH; adsorption to ferrihydrite; metal-NOM complexation; liming; EXAFS spectroscopy;

    Abstract : Speciation governs transport and toxicity of trace metals and is important to monitor in natural waters. Geochemical models that predict speciation are valuable tools for monitoring. They can be used for risk assessments and future scenarios such as termination of liming. READ MORE

  6. 14. Removal of Natural Organic Matter and Control of Trihalomethanes Formation in Water Treatment

    Author : Herbert Mpagi Kalibbala; Elzbieta Plaza; Olle Wahlberg; Rose Kaggwa; Stein Wold Osterhus; KTH; []
    Keywords : Water treatment; pumice; roughing filtration; trihalomethanes; coagulant aid; volcanic ash; Vattenrening; pimpsten; grovfiltrering; trihalometaner; koaguleringsmedel; vulkanaska;

    Abstract : Volcanic ash, pumice and Moringa oleifera (M. oleifera) were investigated as indigenous materials for removal of natural organic matter (NOM) at Kampala and Masaka water treatment plants in Uganda. READ MORE

  7. 15. Partial renewal of granular activated carbon filters for improved drinking water treatment

    Author : Nashita Moona; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Biofiltration; Drinking water treatment; Spectroscopic properties; Granular activated carbon filter; Natural organic matter; Online monitoring; Fluorescence;

    Abstract : Drinking water is widely collected from surface water sources. In these water sources, both the quantity and quality of natural organic matter (NOM) have been affected around the world during the last decades, especially in Northern Europe and North America. READ MORE
