2 Disinfection of PWS One of the greatest achievements in public health during the 20 th century CDC One of the greatest engineering feats of the 20 th century National Academy of Engineering David Reckhow CEE 370 L#30 2

3 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

4 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

5 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 = λc so ln 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: N N 0 = λc n t ln N N 0 = λct and k = λc { Ct} = 2. 3x x log λ David Reckhow CEE 370 L#30 5

6 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 Model is not always accurate, but it is usually a good first approximation David Reckhow CEE 370 L#30 6 Ct /λ /λ /λ /λ

7 Specific Lethality (λ) at 20 o C General hierarchy Disinfectants: O 3 >ClO 2 >HOCl>OCl - >NHCl 2 >NH 2 Cl Organisms: bacteria>viruses>protozoa Units: L/mg-min Some may change with ph, dose; all are affected by temperature Disinfectant E. coli Poliovirus I Entamoeba histolytica Cysts O HOCl ClO OCl NHCl NH 2 Cl David Reckhow CEE 370 L#30 7

12 t 10 concept US EPA regulatory approach Use the t 10 value 90% of water has a residence time greater than t 10 10% of water has a residence time less than t 10 A conservative or safe approach Protection of public health Value ranges from: 100% of t R for PRF 10.5% of t R for CSTR (-ln(0.9)) In between for all real reactors David Reckhow CEE 370 L#30 12

13 Determining t 10 Conduct tracer study Add a conservative substance to tank inlet at a particular time Fluoride is good; doesn t change, just moves with the water, non toxic Can be either a pulse (slug), step-up, or step-down Monitor concentration of conservative substance in tank outlet Data Analysis Prepare graph of concentration vs time Identify when concentration reaches 10% of breakthrough value David Reckhow CEE 370 L#30 13

17 Amherst O 3 Contactor IV Use of t 10 for disinfection compliance Conventional treatment requires 2 log virus inactivation by disinfection For ozone 0.9 mg/l min is worst case (0.5 o C, in H&H table 7-5) With a t 10 = 14 min, then we need to have mg/l ozone residual at outlet of tank C ( Ct) mg required min = = L = t min 14 min mg L David Reckhow CEE 370 L#30 17

18 Sorption and Ion Exchange Adsorption The physical and/or chemical process in which a substance accumulates at a solid-liquid interface Sorption Natural solids (soil, sediments, aquifer) Anthropogenic (activated carbon) The combined process of adsorption of a solute at a surface and partitioning of the solute into the organic carbon that has coated the surface of a particle David Reckhow CEE 370 L#30 18
