Slow-sand water filter: Design, implementation, accessibility and sustainability in developing countries
The need for clean water has risen exponentially over the globe. Millions of people are affected daily by a lack of clean water, especially women and children, as much of their day is dedicated to collecting water. The global water crisis not only has severe medical implications, but social, political, and economic consequences as well. The Institute of Catholic Bioethics at Saint Joseph's Univ...
متن کاملPerformance of Continuous Electrocoagulation Process for Turbidity Removal from Sand Filter Backwash Water
The presence of particles such as algae, clay, organic materials and water-soluble substances often create turbidity or color in water. In recent years, electrocoagulation process has attracted an extensive attention due to its advantages. Since sand filters are widely used in water treatment industry and their corresponding backwash water is large in volume, turbidity removal will save water c...
متن کاملAn antimicrobial polycationic sand filter for water disinfection.
A new sand filtration water disinfection technology is developed which relies on the antimicrobial properties of hydrophobic polycations (N-hexylated polyethylenimine) covalently attached to the sand's surface. The efficacy of the filter disinfection process was evaluated both with water spiked with E. coli and with real aqueous effluent from a wastewater treatment plant. For the former, over 7...
متن کاملVisualisation of the microbial colonisation of a slow sand filter using an Environmental Scanning Electron Microscope
The removal of contaminants in slow sand filters occurs mainly in the colmation layer or schmutzdecke a biologically active layer consisting of algae, bacteria, diatoms and zooplankton. A ripening period of 6 8 weeks is required for this layer to form, during which time filter performance is sub-optimal. In the current study, an environmental scanning electron microscope was used to visualise t...
