| Popis: | This research attempts to evaluate the efficiency of the two main arsenic removal processes, i.e. Fe(III) coagulation and iron oxy-hydroxides adsorption, by combining laboratory-scale experiments and results from operating full-scale water treatment units, located in several places of Greece. The proposed experimental procedure showed that the removal ability of Fe(III) coagulation is proportional to the added iron salt dose and appears to be much more efficient than the adsorption process applied in columns filled with iron oxy-hydroxide solid media. Furthermore, the comparison with the results obtained from large-scale water treatment plants indicated the possibility to predict the required quantities of chemicals’ addition, or adsorbents in scaling-up the laboratory or pilot-scale systems, respectively. However, apart from the effectiveness of each method, the variation in water flow rates, the residual arsenic concentrations, and the specific requirements for operation and maintenance should ... |
