Conventional water treatment plants are limited in removing organic
compounds. The design of a conventional ETA is the removal of colloidal particles
allowing adequate clarification and ensuring microbiological safety. Powdered
activated carbon has a very versatile application in water treatment plants and can be
used in different concentrations and locations and is directly related to the contaminant
to be removed. In this context, this work aimed to evaluate the conditions of use of
pulverized activated carbon in terms of the efficiency of removing total organic carbon
from raw water from a supply source. The research used the Protimiza software to plan
the experiments and adopted the statistical method of delineating centered faces. In
total, 11 commercial PAC of vegetable origin were evaluated with an iodine index
greater than 600 mgI/g. In the first stage of the tests, all PAC were analyzed. The PAC
with the highest efficiency in removing organic matter were selected. The adsorption
tests were carried out in the Jar test dosing 20mg/L of a 5% CAP solution and a contact
time of 30 minutes. With the selected PAC plus the one used in the ETA, the NPOC
(mg/L) and UV-254nm of the tests planned by delineating centered faces were
evaluated. In a second stage of the tests, the influence of pre-oxidation with potassium
permanganate was evaluated. The treatability tests allowed us to conclude that the
powdered activated carbon used in the treatment plant has the lowest organic matter
removal efficiency when evaluating the NPOC and UV-254nm parameters and that
pre-oxidation with potassium permanganate alters the surface of response of the
evaluated PAC. |
