2 Disinfection Kill or inactivate pathogens Bacteria, viruses protozoa Disinfectants Chlorine (Cl 2, HOCl or OCl - ) Chloramines (NH 2 Cl or NHCl 2 ) Ozone (O 3 ) Chlorine Dioxide (ClO 2 ) Others: Bromine, UV light Primary purpose for drinking water treatment David Reckhow CEE 370 L#30 3 Chick s Law In the early 1900's Dr. Harriet Chick postulated that the death of the microorganisms was a first order process. So, for a given disinfectant and concentration: dn dt kn This can be separated and integrated (with N = N o at t = 0) to yield: kt N N N 0 e or: ln kt N 0 David Reckhow CEE 370 L#30 4 Lecture #30 Dave Reckhow 2

3 Chick-Watson Law The fraction inactivated is a function of the specific lethality (λ) of the disinfectant-organism couple and the disinfectant concentration (C ) n k C ln C Many studies have found that n is in the range of 0.8 to 1.2 for most microorganisms. In engineering practice, it is usually assumed that n is unity, thus the equation becomes: so N N 0 n t David Reckhow ln N N 0 Ct CEE 370 L#30 and k C Ct 2. 3x x log 5 Chick-Watson II Use of Ct values for various log removals is general practice Here is how Ct corresponds to specific lethality of Chick s Law (for n=1) % Removal x Log Removal N, if N 0 = 10,000/L /λ /λ /λ /λ Model is not always accurate, but it is usually a good first approximation David Reckhow CEE 370 L#30 6 Ct Lecture #30 Dave Reckhow 3
