The common term for pH is alkalinity
The pH is an indication for the acidity of a substance. It idetermined by the number of free hydrogen ions (H+) in
a substance. Acidity is one of the most important properties of water.
Water is a solvent for nearly all ions. The pH serves as anindicator that compares some of the most water-solubleions.
The outcome of a pH-measurement is determined by aconsideration between the number of H+ ions and thenumber of hydroxide (OH-) ions. When the number of H+ions equals the number of OH- ions, the water is neutral.It will than have a pH of about 7.

Continued….
The pH of water can vary between 0 and 14. When the pH of asubstance is above 7, it is a basic substance. When the pH of asubstance is below 7, it is an acid substance. The further the pH liesabove or below 7, the more basic or acid a solution is.
The pH is a logarithmic factor; when a solution becomes ten times
more acidic, the pH will fall by one unit. When a solution becomes hundred times more acidic the pH will fall by two units.

Water Quality: from an environmental
engineering point of view
Impurities in water:
•Dissolved substances: A substance which is truly insolution (homogenous; solvated by the liquid)
•Suspended solids are large enough to settle out of
solution or be removed by filtration •Colloidal particles are in the size range between
dissolved substances and suspended particles

Units for water quality measurements Soluteschange the density of a solution
– Weight percent is % in g/kg solution (w/w) – Weight volume is % in g/L of solution (w/v)
For dilute solutions, assume that the density does notchange, so concentrations are expressed in
weight/volume (milligrams per litre, mg/L) 1 % = 10,000 mg/L
Consider example 5.1 P222 Davis and Cornwell

Precipitation reactions Precipitation - dissolved ions reacting to form a solid
compound
– e.g. Ca2+ + CO32- ↔ CaCO3(s)
– note that ions in solution are often referred to as acompound when in fact a compound does not exist,simply the ions (e.g. CaSO4 and NaCl exist in solution as4 ions)
Ca2+ + SO42- ↔ CaSO4(s)
Na+ + Cl- ↔ NaCl (s)
The solubility of a compound is given by its solubilityconstant (Ks)

23/66
Acids and bases
When acids enter the water, the ions willseparate. For instance, hydrogen chloride willseparate into hydrogen and chlorine ions (HCLinto H+ + CL-).
Bases also undergo separation of their ions whenenter the water. When sodium hydroxide enters
the water it will separate into sodium andhydroxide ions (NaOH into Na+ + OH-).
-
8/17/2019 Unit 2-DW.pdf
24/66
When an acid substance ends up in water, it will give upa hydrogen ion to the water. The water will thenbecome acid.
The number of hydrogen ions that the water will receivedetermines the pH. When a basic substance enters thewater it will take up hydrogen ions.
This will lower the pH of the water.When a substance is strongly acidic it will give up moreH+ ions to the water. Strong bases will give up more OH-

Buffers and alkalinity
•Buffering capacity of a natural water refers to its ability to take upacid or base without a pH change.
•Alkaline water (pH>7) is different to water having a high alkalinity!
•Carbonate buffer system important in many aspects of water andwastewater treatment and environmental chemistry
•Alkalinity is experimentally determined as the sum of titratable
bases to pH 4.5.

Water quality problems caused by organiccarbon
•Accelerates chlorine, chloramine decay
– makes the disinfectant less effective
•Promotes bacterial regrowth
•Reacts with disinfectants to form carcinogenicdisinfection by-products
•Binds with ferric ions in water to cause discolouredwater

8/17/2019 Unit 2-DW.pdf
44/66
Problems caused by dissolved organiccarbon (DOC)
•For effective disinfection and pathogen control, chemicaldisinfectants are used
•Chlorine is the most commonly used
•Chlorine kills certain bacteria but also stays as a residual tomaintain disinfecting power later.
•This characteristic is important to protect any possible accidental
or subsequent contamination that happens in the system •This is compromised when other agents that can degrade the
disinfectant are present in the system
•One of the components that decays chlorine is natural organicmatter (NOM). This is measured as dissolved organic carbon (DOC)
DOC (continued)
-
8/17/2019 Unit 2-DW.pdf
45/66
DOC (continued) •Dissolved organic carbon (NOM)
– accelerates the decay of chlorine
– provides precursors that react with chlorine to form carcinogenicdisinfection by-products, e.g. trihalomethanes (THMs) and haloacetic acid
•DOC provides food for micro-organisms to grow in distribution pipes(biofilms)
– these biofilms harbour micro-organisms and also cause decay of chlorine(especially in small diameter pipes)
– sloughing of biofilms causes discoloured water
– off odours
– nitrification
•Therefore DOC (NOM) needs to be removed
– water treatment processes
*Decay of chlorine will be demonstrated in the laboratory when you dthe experiment
Recent research has focused on DOC

Recent research has focused on DOCremoval and characterisation
•Organic carbon can be removed by:
– Enhanced coagulation
– Granular activated carbon
•Biologically Activated Carbon (BAC)
•Granular activated carbon (non-biological mode)
•Powdered Activated Carbon (PAC)
– Ion Exchange process such as MIEX®
– Advanced oxidation processes
– Complete removal of organic carbon – cost would be exorbitant

Bacterial Regrowth
•Bacterial Regrowth: Growth of bacteria in the treatedwater
•Bacteria grows if
– disinfectant concentration is too low or bacteria isresistant
– Sufficient food available (organic carbon forheterotrophic bacteria) and other nutrients (mainlynitrogen or phosphorus).

52/66
Conventional water treatment
system
•Coagulation: adding and rapidly mixing of chemical coagulants intothe raw water.
•Flocculation: slow mixing of the chemicals with the water to assist inbuilding up particles of floc.
•Sedimentation: allow the floc to settle out (gravity)
•Filtration: remove almost all of the suspended matter that remains bypassing the water through filters.
•Disinfection: destruction or inactivation of waterborne pathogens.
Design of Coagulation/Flocculation

8/17/2019 Unit 2-DW.pdf
53/66
Design of Coagulation/Flocculation
•Major reason – to remove microorganisms and turbidityenhanced coagulation to remove DOC
•In the fresh water bodies small particles (includingorganic compounds, colloids microorganisms etc) exist
– usually the particle surfaces are negatively charged •To bring them together and make them settle (to
remove by gravity), the charges must be neutralised. This achieved by coagulants.
Colloid stability
-
8/17/2019 Unit 2-DW.pdf
54/66
Colloid stability
•Colloids are too small to be trapped in the filteand too small to settle in a reasonable period oftime.
•Surface is negatively charged
– Colloidal particles repel each other (repulsiveinterparticle forces)
•When the surface charge is larger, the stabilityis stronger
Colloid destabilization
-
8/17/2019 Unit 2-DW.pdf
55/66
Colloid destabilization
•Addition of positively charged cations such as Na+1,Ca+2, Mg+2, Al+3, or Fe+3 to destabilise the surfacecharge of colloids and allow aggregation (flocculation)into particles
•Schulze and Hardy rule: one mole of trivalent ion can
reduce the charge of as much as 30 to 50 moles of adivalent ion and as much as 1,500 to 2,500 moles of amonovalent ion
Coagulation
-
8/17/2019 Unit 2-DW.pdf
56/66
Coagulation
•A coagulant is a substance (chemical) that is added to the waterto accomplish coagulation
•There are three key properties of a coagulant
– Trivalent cation
– Non-toxic
– Insoluble in the neutral pH range
•Two common coagulants used are aluminium (Al3+) and ferric ion(Fe3+)
•Coagulant aids- These assist coagulation by creating bettercoagulation conditions,
– e.g optimum pH,
– formation of particulate nuclei,
– bridging between small flocs to create bigger flocs.
Coagulation
-
8/17/2019 Unit 2-DW.pdf
57/66
Coagulation
•Four basic types of Coagulant aids:
•(i) pH adjusters: most commonly used
• -for lowering pH – sulfuric acid [H2SO4]
• - for raising pH – lime [Ca(OH)2] or soda ash (Na2CO3) orsodium hydroxide (NaOH; caustic soda)
•(ii) Activated silica: produces a stable suspension of particles thathave a negative surface charge. The activated silica can unite wit
the positively charged aluminium or with iron flocs, resulting in alarger, denser floc that settles faster
•(iii) Clays: Clays can act much like activated silica in that theyhave a slight negative charge and can add weight to the flocs.Cheaper than AS

58/66
Coagulation
•(iv) Polymers:
•- Polymers can have a negative charge (anionic), positive charge(cationic), positive and negative charge (polyamphotype), or nocharge (nonionic)
•- Polymers are long-chain carbon compounds of high molecularweight that have many active sites. The active sites adhere to flocs, joining them together and producing a larger, tougher floc thatsettles better. This process is called interparticle bridging.

8/17/2019 Unit 2-DW.pdf
59/66
Mixing and Flocculation
•Rapid mixing
– To disperse the chemicals throughout the entirewater body
– Achieved by injection of chemicals into the mostturbulent zone
– In a pure water Alum + water Al(OH)3 in 1-7 second
– In natural water we need to mix with particles beforethis so that the intermediary product (Al7(OH)174+)that forms within 0.01-1 second combines withparticles to neutralize the particles.
