Water treatment

throughout the world. Drugs of abuse range from anything to illegal drugs such as cocaine, misuse of prescriptions or even nicotine. Drugs of abuse are more than just harmful to a person’s health, they also have an impact the environment, including water treatment processes. The purpose of these experiments is to identify the compounds in aquatic samples from various places throughout the world. Verifying these compounds is crucial in determining how drugs of abuse effect the environment.…

How much water should we drink everyday has always been a question It depends on many factors such as age, gender, health, your activity, and where you live. ("Water: How Much Should You Drink Every Day?") The one who suggested eight glasses in the beginning was Fredrick John Stare. He was a nutritionist and a professor that founded and taught at Harvard School of Public Health in 1942. He advocated that people need to drink at least six glasses water throughout the day and eat the basic four…

used in the water treatment process versus that of the Yadkin River. Using a jar test machine, simulated the addition of an acid in the form of Al2SO4, and a base NaOH to the coagulation process. Salem Lake does show a preferred buffering at higher acid doses, though Yadkin River is more efficient at the low to mid-range dose. INTRODUCTION There is a distinct difference in the buffering capacity of Salem Lake versus Yadkin River. Understanding the buffering capacity of a raw water source as it…

1.4 CONVENTIONAL WASTEWATER TREATMENT PROCESS Conventional wastewater treatment consists of a combination of physical, chemical and biological operations to remove solids, organic matter and nutrients from wastewater. The general terms used to describe different degrees of treatment, in order of increasing treatment levels are preliminary, primary, secondary and tertiary or advanced wastewater treatment. Preliminary Treatment The objective of preliminary treatment is removal of coarse solids and…

Introduction The Jackson Pike Wastewater Treatment Plant, located in Columbus Ohio, along with the Southerly Plant are responsible for treating a combined average of 208 million gallons of water per day [1]. Founded in 1937, the Jackson Pike Plant first treated approximately 50 million gallons of water per day. To keep up with a growing Columbus population, the wastewater plant has been upgraded to treat 150 million gallons per day. On September 7th, 2017 Carnell Felton, the plant’s assistant…

Freshwater Treatment for Amoebic Gill Disease Freshwater treatment for AGD requires checking for few things before and during the treatment to carry out a successful and effective treatment. 1. Freshwater Source: The freshwater source should be checked for temperature, total ammonia nitrogen and ammonia percentage, pH, hardness, salinity and any harmful plankton. Temperature: Freshwater with temperature closer to the temperature that treating fish are being reared in is best choice. Colder…

of the water characteristic or more precisely one of the physical water parameters. Water temperature affects almost all other water quality parameters. It plays a key role in aquatic life and habitations. Thus, the fluctuation of temperature controls what aquatic kind will live and bloom in the water body. Water temperature can also affect “the metabolic rates and biological activity of aquatic organisms”. Therefore metabolic rates of aquatic organisms is directly proportional with the water…

available chemistry classes, when the opportunity to job shadow a water operator at the Emlenton Water Treatment Plant arose, I took advantage of it. Even with my knowledge in chemistry, I went into the experience knowing only that they use chemicals, such as chlorine, to treat the water from the river. I came out of the experience with a more selective career path and a much greater knowledge and appreciation for water treatment plant operators. On my first day shadowing, I met my mentor, Bill…

30 along with the soil treatment it would receive, either 100% vermiculite or 90% vermiculite, and the planting density, either 1, 2, 4, 8, or 16 seeds planted. The 100% vermiculite soil treatment was then prepared by using a clean 0.95-liter black plastic pot and adding 15 pots of vermiculite to a large mixing tub. Once this was done, 2300 mL of tap water was also added to the mixing tub and mixed together until consistent. The 15 pots that were to receive this treatment were filled up to 10 cm…

my own town and I have a responsibility to save and protect it. As citizens in our village, we need to protect and make it grow. The necessity, we need to save right now is natural resources (water, trees, etc). Because water is a limited resource, if people continue to waste it, there wont be enough water for the town in one day, and people could die because of it. My own town is a small island in Asia. It’s between Taiwan and the Philippines. Around the town is a beach. The climate of the…
