Differentiation between different kinds of mixing in water purification – Back to basics
نویسنده
چکیده
The term mixing is confusing because it is used to describe transport mechanisms for both flash mixing (reagent dispersion and homogenisation with water mixing) and agitation (flocculation mixing) because each of these mechanisms requires different flow characteristics in order to take place with maximum efficiency. Flash mixing should take place under conditions of mixing on macro-scale with macro-turbulent eddies being formed and agitation under conditions of mixing under microscale with micro-turbulent eddies being formed. Agitation takes place under highor low-intensity agitation. Only the conditions of agitation can be characterised by velocity gradient. Differentiation between flash mixing and agitation is discussed.

Optimisation of reaction conditions of particle aggregation in water purification – back to basics
Basic types of pollutants in surface waters and methods for their removal are reviewed. Guidelines are provided for selecting the most effective hydrolysing destabilisation reagent (coagulant) for a particular quality surface water, which is polluted with different types of impurities, and optimising the reaction conditions under which its purification takes place.
متن کاملAn Experimental Investigation of Different Formation Waters and Injection Water Incompatibility to Obtain the Optimum Water Mixing Ratio in Injection Processes
Scale formation and well plugging due to the incompatibility of injected waters is a critical field problem in oil recovery. A water injection process was successfully performed when the identification of the source of water, water quality considerations, and laboratory compatibility tests were considered. When different waters are mixed, it is necessary to evaluate their compatibility prior to...
متن کاملPolicy, Theory, and Evaluation: Stop Mixing the Fruit Salad; Comment on “Developing a Framework for a Program Theory-Based Approach to Evaluating Policy Processes and Outcomes: Health in All Policies in South Australia”
The study of Health in All Policies (HiAP) is gaining momentum. Authors are increasingly turning to wide swathes of political and social theory to frame (Program) Theory Based (or Informed) Evaluation (TBE) approaches. TBE for HiAP is not only prudent, it adds a level of elegance and insight to the research toolbox. However, it is still necessary to organize theoretical thinking appropriately. ...
متن کاملRole of estuarine natural flocculation process in removal of Cu, Mn, Ni, Pb and Zn
The flocculation of dissolved heavy metals is a process which has an important effect on decreasing the concentration of the colloidal elements during estuarine mixing of river water and sea or ocean water. During this important process, a large amount of colloidal elements change into particles in the form of flock and the dissolved loads decline. This study is performed to evaluate the mechani...
متن کاملReview of Differentiation and Proliferation of Primordial Germ Cells in Culture
Primordial germ cells (PGCs) are highly specialized cell population that arises from the epiblast in vivo. There are three critical steps in the life cycle of these cells: 1-Specification 2-migration and proliferation 3-prenatal and postnatal sex specific development. Specification of germ cells in epiblast occurs due to signals secreted from extraembryonic tissues. Primordial germ cells are re...
