BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to compare between slow and rapid sand filters for the removal of free-living amoebae during drinking water treatment production. METHODS Overall, 48 water samples were collected from two drinking water treatment plants having two different filtration systems (slow and rapid sand filters) and from inlet and outlet of each plant. Water samples were collecte...

The oxygen-evolving photosystem II particles prepared from spinach chloroplasts with brief sonication and Triton X-100 treatment were subjected to butanol/water phase partitioning. Three peripheral proteins of photosystem II having relative molecular masses of 33,000, 24,000, and 18,000 daltons and a part of the manganese atoms associated with photosystem II were partitioned into the aqueous ph...

• A process for hazard-free treatment electrolytic manganese residue (EMR) was proposed. Almost all of the ammonia in EMR recovered by low-temperature roasting. The present could be countercurrent water-washing. toxicity leaching results after met GB 8978?1996. combined low-temperature-roasting and water-washing is investigated as a method to treat recover manganese. In this study, phase transf...

This research article deals with an electrosynthesis of hydrous titanium dioxide by anodic dissolution of titanium sacrificial anodes and their application for the adsorption of manganese from aqueous solution. Titanium sheet was used as the sacrificial anode and galvanized iron sheet was used as the cathode. The optimization of different experimental parameters like initial ion concentration, ...

Bangka Belitung is one of the provinces in Indonesia known as a tin-producing area. Illegal tin mining results excavated holes. The characteristics water ex-mining pits are acidic and contain heavy metals such iron. This journal aims to determine effect filtration improving quality samples best doses Na2CO3 KMnO4 pre-treatment. Also find out which experiment resulted higher Fe removal efficienc...

Background & Aims of the Study: Coagulation is an essential process for the removal of fine particulate matter in water treatment. Polyaluminium ferric chloride (PAFC) is a composite inorganic polymer of Aluminium and ferric salt. This study was conducted to find out the optimum coagulation conditions for the removal of turbidity, color and organic matter (UV absorbance) in low to mediu...

Nano-sized particles of manganese oxides have been prepared by a very simple and cheap process using a decomposing aqueous solution of manganese nitrate at 100 °C. Scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction spectrometry have been used to characterize the phase and the morphology of the manganese oxide. The nano-sized manganese oxide shows efficient cata...

Major waterborne cryptosporidiosis and giardiasis outbreaks associated with contaminated drinking water have been linked to evidence of suboptimal treatment. Cryptosporidium parvum oocysts are particularly more resistant than Giardia lamblia cysts to removal and inactivation by conventional water treatment (coagulation, sedimentation, filtration and chlorine disinfection); therefore, extensive ...
