New Techniques of wastewater Management
What is wastewater management?Wastewater management is the process by
which all waste water (waste from showers, toilets, sinks, both residential and most commercial) is treated and returned back to a receiving stream for reuse.
Ion exchangeIon exchange is an exchange of ions between
two electrolytes or between an electrolyte solution and a complex.
It is used to denote the processes of purification, separation, and decontamination of aqueous and other ion-containing solutions with solid polymeric or mineralic 'ion exchangers'.
Electrocoagulation: New method in wastewater treatmentElectrocoagulation is an advanced and
economical water treatment technology. It effectively removes suspended solids to sub-micrometre levels
Electrocoagulation is the process of destabilizing suspended, emulsified, or dissolved contaminants in an aqueous medium by introducing an electrical current into the medium.
Requirements of EC EC reactor is made up of an electrolytic cell
with one anode and one cathode. EC system essentially consists of pairs of conductive metal plates in parallel, which act as monopolar electrodes. It also required sacrificial anodes. The requirements to operate EC are
a. Direct current power sourceb. Resistance Boxc. Multimeter
AdvantagesRemoves suspended and colloidal solidsBreaks oil emulsions in waterRemoves fats, oil, and greaseRemoves complex organicsDestroys and removes bacteria, viruses and
cystsColor removal up to 95%BOD removal > 60%COD removal > 70%
BenefitsSupplied as a skid mounted unit, fully
assembled for inlet/outlet and backwash connections
Low operating costsLow power requirementsMinimal chemical additionsLow maintenance
DisadvantagesThe ‘sacrificial electrodes’ are dissolved into
wastewater streams as a result of oxidation, and need to be regularly replaced.
The use of electricity may be expensive in many places.
High conductivity of the wastewater suspension is required.
Reclamation and Reuse of treated waterIrrigationIndustrial useRecreational usesGroundwater rechargePotable reuse
Reverse osmosisReverse osmosis (RO) is a water purification
technology that uses a semipermeable membrane to remove larger particles from drinking water.
Reverse osmosis can remove many types of molecules and ions from solutions, including bacteria, and is used in both industrial processes and the production of potable water.
DistillationDistillation is a chemical process where a
mixture made of two or more liquids (called "components") with different boiling points can be separated from each other.
Distillation is a unit operation of practically universal importance, but it is a physical separation process and not a chemical reaction.
