Abstract
Three standardized techniques (capillary membrane dialysis, alumina adsorption, alum/polyelectrolyte coagulation) have been compared under laboratory conditions to determine their relative effectiveness in removing a broad spectrum of nutrients, cations, and anions from freshly collected samples of stream water and wastewater effluent (secondary and tertiary). Of these alumina adsorption was highly effective in removal of phosphorus, inorganic carbon, as well as most cations with concomitant reduction of specific conductance and hardness. High Kjeldahl and ammonia nitrogen removal efficiencies of alumina were only observed in samples of wastewater in which pre-treatment concentrations were relatively high. Dialysis occupied an intermediate position in respect to cation removal, but produced results equivalent to alumina adsorption in respect to inorganic carbon. Superiority of dialysis in removal of sodium, potassium, chloride, nitrate-nitrite, boron, and dissolved solids is reported. Alum/polyelectrolyte (Betz no. 1150) proved to be effective in removing phosphorus from all waters tested, but was highly ineffective in respect to all other parameters tested.
