Particle characteristics: a key pactor in effluent treatment and reuse

摘要

Particulate matter presents a major problem in advanced wastewater treatment and in water reuse operations. This paper illustrates and analyses the approach that particle characterization may werve as an important tool in understanding treatment process mechanisms for improved design and solving clogging problems in field systems. Particle size distribution and particle surface characteristics are defined, examples of their application to effluent chemical coagulation, to wastewater reservoir effluent characterization and to the prevention of particle deposition in reuse systems are described. direct C 1999 Published by Elsevier Science Ltd on behalf of the IAWQ.
