Abstract |
The various approaches to physical-chemical treatment all involve the use of coagulation and settling for removal of suspended solids and, in some cases, phosphorus. Also, all involve the use of activated carbon for the removal of soluble organics. Some also involve the use of filtration for further removals of suspended solids and phosphorus. The purpose of this paper is to discuss typical design parameters for the unit processes involved in physical-chemical treatment of raw wastes and how the design engineer may determine the design criteria best suited for a given wastewater. |
