Abstract
Performance of Deep Bed Sand Filters in Nom Removal from Water under Different Operational Conditions. (Dept. E)
Highlights
WITHOUT doubt, water is of great importance for human beings
natural organic matter (NOM) mainly consists of compositions having different properties and molecular sizes ranging from small molecules to macromolecules and extensive particles [2]
A comparative study involving the results of 36 filter runs is conducted in order to evaluate the effect of different parameters on the performance of the deep bed sand filter in removing NOM accompanied with turbidity
Summary
Clean drinking water is an essential requirement to life and people’s survival. If the water they consume is contaminated, it Received: (09 September, 2021) - Revised: (05 November, 2021) Accepted: (10 November, 2021). Natural organic matter (NOM) is considered as one of those problematic contaminants that may affect water quality. It causes several aesthetic problems such as color, taste and odor. The mixture of organic compositions of NOM can be divided into two categories, typically hydrophilic and hydrophobic fractions. The first one, hydrophilic fractions of NOM, are formed mainly of aliphatic carbon as well as nitrogenous compounds (e.g., carboxylic acids, carbohydrates and proteins).
