Turbidity-Introduction• “Turbid” indicates the presence of suspended
matters in water.
• “Turbidity” may by caused by colloids to coarse dispersions. Other sources are of inorganic and organic nature.
• It is important due to following aspects:– Aesthetics
– Filterability: Water with high solids content is hard to filter through filter and thus it becomes difficulty to water treatment using filtration.
– Disinfection: This process is used to kill microorganisms and thy can hide among suspended matters. These suspended materials reduce the disinfection potential of different disinfectants, such as chlorine, ultra-violet radiation, ozone etc.

Turbidity-Measurement
• Uses principles of nephelometry:
– Here a light source illuminates the sample
and one or more photoelectric detectors are
used with a readout device to indicate the
intensity of scattered light at right angles to
the path of the incident light.
– Formazin suspension is used as a standard
– Turbidity as low as 0.02 NTU (u.e.,
Nephelometric turbidity units) (here: 40
NTU=40 Jackson candle turbidity units (JTU)

Turbidity-Application of Data
1. Water supply:
• This info is used to decide if water is good as a
source drinking water and if it requires any further chemical treatment, etc. This measurements
indicate effectiveness of chemical treatment in a drinking water treatment plant (DWTP).
2. Domestic and industrial waste treatment:
• This measurement is used to determine
effectiveness of wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) for suspended solids removal. Using this
measurement, chemical dosage in chemical
treatment processes can be estimated.

Turbidity-Think About It!
• What things cause turbidity in:
– (1) river water during a flash flood,
– (2) polluted river, and
– (3) domestic wastewater
• Why turbidity cannot be correlated with the weight concentration of suspended matter in water samples?

Color-Introduction• Source of coloring material: organic matter such as
leaves, etc. at various stages of decomposition.• Tannin, humic acids and lignin are primary organic
molecules constituting color to a solution. Iron also contributes color to a solution (due to ferric humate).
• Natural color comes due to negatively charged colloidal particles.
• It is important due to following aspects:– Aesthetics
– Disinfection: Organic molecules responsible for producing color are oxidized due to chlorine (one of the many disinfectants) andform chlorine-substituted organic compounds, some of them have been reported carcinogens also (i.e., cancer causing). Thus it reduces effectiveness of chlorine to kill microorganisms present in water.

January 8, 2013 (C) Arun Kumar, IIT Delhi 9
Color-Measurement• Sometime pretreatment of samples is required to remove
suspended material to measure color of a sample.
• Potassium chloroplatinate (K2PtCl6) tinted with small amounts of cobalt chloride gives color similar to natural color and thus this combination is used as a standard for deciding degree of color in a sample.
• Color produced by 1 mg/L of platinum (as K2PtCl6 ) is used as the standard unit of color.
• Procedure:– Make different dilutions of 500 mg/L Pt, with cobalt added and
compare samples with different diluted standard to provide rangefor color in terms of Pt concentration.

pH-Introduction• It indicates the intensity of the acid or alkaline
condition of a solution.
• It is used to express hydrogen-ion activity in a solution.
• Useful for all wet-chemistry reactions where water molecule is involved.
• pH = -log10 [H+], where [H+] represent hydrogen ion concentration (dilute solutions)– For pure water at 25degC, Kw =10-14
– So pH=pOH = 7 (here pOH =-log10 [OH-]; pH+pOH=pKw)
– These values are temperature-dependent as it affects Kw.

pH-Measurement
• Hydrogen electrode is used to measure hydrogen
ion activity.
• Only for dilute solutions, concentration can be
assumed to be equal to activity.
• In this course we assume dilute solution, unless it is mentioned otherwise.
• Acid range: pH between 0 and 7
• Alkaline range: pH between 7 and 14

pH-Think About It!
1. Show relationship between pOH and hydroxyl ion concentration.
2. A decrease in pH of one unit represents how much of an increase in hydrogen-ion concentration?
3. Why pH is important in wet-chemistry

consumption)
– An effort towards reuse and recycle!
– Is it acceptable to use it for human consumption?

Color
• Say one person consumes=X liters per day (i.e., “X”lpcd( a short form of liters per capita per day)
• Total number of population in a community =“P”
• Total daily water demand = (X) *(P) liters per day
• Say amount of water required for duration = “T” days
• Total amount of water required (Vtotal)= (X)*(P)*(T) liters
• The water source should have this much (i.e.,Vtotal) to be considered as a potential water source.

• Per capita demand is different in normal
conditions and in drought conditions.
• Water demand also fluctuates

– Daily (more for working days than holidays)
– Hourly (more in morning and evening per day, i.e.,

Acidity
• But, what about water quality of this water source? What if this water source doesn’t have good water and we might need to provide further treatment?– Leads to the consideration for water quality aspect of a given water
source!
• Among different water source types, consider following for evaluating their potential– Levels of different water quality parameters
– Amount of treatment required to meet water quality characteristics for the desired use
(The water quality characteristics are improved depending on water’s final usage and thus, its important to know the final use of the water)
• Overall: Water quality and available water volume-Both aspects should be considered during selection of a particular water source for a particular type of water usage.
