Abstract
The use of natural phillipsite for removing indicator bacteria and soluble organic matter has been studied in a percolation reactor at a constant solution flow rate. The kinetics of fixation were studied by applying the balance of matter between the input and output solutions. The influence of the particle size on the process was also studied. Both chemical oxygen demand (COD) and biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) in the effluent solution depend on the grain size of the material. A large reduction of the amount of bacteria studied was observed. The fixation of bacteria and organic matter occurs not only on the zeolites but also on the volcanic glass.
