Study Notes
Electrodialysis (ED)
- Removes ions from water, not bacteria, viruses, uncharged molecules, or suspended solids
- Suitable for deionization of brackish waters with TDS ≤ 5000 mg/L to produce product water with TDS ≈ 500 mg/L
- Not well-suited for deionization of seawater due to high energy consumption
- Electrical energy required is directly proportional to the amount of salts removed
Chlorine Compounds
- Both HOCl & OCl- react with ammonia to produce chloramines (monochloramine, dichloramine, and trichloramine)
- Both HOCl & OCl- react with reducing compounds (Fe+2, Mn+2, NO2-) to reduce chlorine to non-effective chloride ion Cl-
- Both HOCl & OCl- react with natural organic matter to produce trihalomethanes (THMs), which are carcinogenic compounds
- Total concentration of THMs in drinking water should not exceed 0.1 mg/L
Breakpoint Chlorination
- Chlorine dosage is added to water, reacting first with reducing compounds, then with NH3 to form chloramines
- Further addition of chlorine oxidizes chloramines to nitrogen gas and reduces chlorine to non-effective Cl- ion
- Continued addition of chlorine produces free available chlorine, which appears after the breakpoint (point C)
- Free residual = dosage - demand, where demand is the amount used to oxidize materials existing in water
- Total residual = free residual + combined residual
Example Problems
- Calculates the current density, required area, and volume of one cell given an ED stack and detention time
- Calculates the salts concentration in product water and disposed concentrate water using mass balance application on the ED stack equations
