Test Plan for Pilot Test Program for Removal of Excess Fluoride from Activated Carbon Effluent.

摘要

In accordance with a directive from the Colorado Department of Health, the reinjection water at the north boundary of RMA will be subject to drinking water standards established by EPA and CDH. In response to this directive, Rubel and Hager engaged to perform a feasibility study during September 1978. The results documented that using the activated alumina treatment method, the excess fluoride can be removed from the carbon treated water at the reinjection site. At the conclusion of the feasibility study, it was determined that further pilot testing would be necessary to optimize the caustic regeneration procedure for maximum long-term economy. Therefore, this pilot test program has been established. Under this program the following tasks will be: (1) to determine whether there are any interferences present in the activated carbon effluent that may reduce the efficiency of the process, (2) an optimum alumina regeneration process will be developed to minimize operating costs.
