4 Water treatment

5 History of modern water treatment 1804: Slow sand filtration (Paisley, Scotland) : Rapid sand filtration, Coagulation, Flocculation 1893: Ozonation (Oudshoon, Netherlands) 1905: Chlorination (London, England) 1917: Chloramination (Ottawa, Canada) : Solids-contact clarifier, and Dissolved air flotation 1962: Membrane technologies (Ultrafiltration, Nanofiltration, and Reverse Osmosis) : Chemical precipitation, chemical oxidation, and GAC 2000: UV disinfection

6 Important Classes of Contaminants Chemicals Inorganic Compounds Heavy metals (Pb, Cu, Cr, Cd, As) Nitrate Organic chemicals Particles (suspended solids) Pesticides (synthetic organic compounds) Volatile organic compounds Disinfectants and byproducts (DBPs) Microorganisms Bacteria, viruses, protozoa, worms Radionuclides

7 Water as a mode of transmission of infectious disease? discovered Vibrio cholera in India in 1883 investigated an incidence of cholera in two adjacent German Cities (Hamburg and Altonia) in 1892 pumped their water from the Elbe River (Altonia: downstream of Hamburg) serious cholera outbreak in Hamburg, but mild outbreak in Altonia 19,891 cases in 580,000 total population in Hamburg 572 cases in 143,000 total population in Altonia slow sand filter in Altonia

8 History of disinfection Ancient civilization (from 4000 BC) clear water = clean water Egypt: alum to remove suspended solids in water China: filters to remove suspended solids in water India: heat foul water by boiling and exposing to sunlight and by dipping seven times into a piece of hot copper, then to filter and cool in an earthen vessel. The Roman Empire (27 BC 476 AD) extensive aqueduct system to bring in pristine water from far away from city no major treatment was provided (other than the incidental mild disinfection effect of sunlight on water in open aqueducts) 1850, John Snow London, England one of the first known uses of chlorine for water disinfection attempted to disinfect the Broad Street Pump water supply in London after an outbreak of cholera. 1897, Sims Woodhead Kent, England One of the publicly approved use of chlorine for water disinfection used "bleach solution" as a temporary measure to sterilize potable water supply during a typhoid outbreak.
