4 r, ( i)bstract The removal of fulvic acid, the. most soluble fraction of humic matter, with aluminum and polyacrylamide was investigated. Th.e expe(fmental conditions were similar to those usually encountered in -5 practice. The ph ranged from 6 to 8, the aluminum dosage from 10 M to, -3 ~. 0.5 x 10 M, and the polymer concentration from a to I mg/l. The fulvic acid concentration was constant at 10 mg/l. The removal of fulvic acid with aluminum was found to depend on J the particle size of the aluminum-fulvic acid flocs. This was demonstrated by both the increased removals when filters with a pore size of 0.10 I'm were used (as opposed to filters with a pore size of 0.45 I'm) and the beneficial effect of the presence of nonionic polyacrylamide. The nonionic polymer promoted both the removal after settling and the ~ removal after filtration. The'latter was attributed to the flocculation of m~cro-c:olloidalparticles which in the 'absence of the polymer passerl through the pores of the fijer... Based on a three-level factorial experimental:design an empirical statistical model of the removal of fulvic acid was developed. The model was based on the consideration,at, for a narrow operating region, the response surface may be approximated with a quadratic mathematical. expression. By applying this technique th~ effect of the ph, aluminum ~.. : dosage and polymer dosage were quantitatively modelled. A polymer '" dosage of 0.1 mg/l was found to be optimal because it gave the minimum.. cost of chemicals, for the desired high degree of removal. iii
5 Fina~ly, the most s ignificant factors that affected t~e removal of,. fulvie acid with aluminum, in addition to the ph, the aluminum dosare and the polymer dosage, were the calcium present in the water and the interaction of calcium with the ph. The effect of calcium was larger at "ph g than at ph 7. The effect of the polymer properties was not "as large as the effect of the calcium, with.the effect of the polymer mol~r mass " ~ being more important th~he e.ffect of the degree of hydrolysis ~f the polyacrylamide.. - J 0 ) iv..
6 ALKNOWLEDGEMENTS Many people have shared the high and low points with me durink the last several years. The list ofall those who, in on~ way or another, contributed in the comflletion of this I'(ork is far too)ong to acknowledge here. Es"ecially, t~en, I would like to express my appreciation to the following: /. The Department of Chemical Engineering for the financial. assistance. through.out the course of my studies. My supervisor, Dr. Donald R. Woods, for his caring support, discussions. \.." Roberto Narbaitz, for being a good friend and a model listener to.. the problems of my research.'. Audrey Mckay, for the. careful and patient typing.of this thesis. Last, bu't' not 1.k'St, I thank my wife Anne, for helping me to keep. life, love and labour in some perspective.."'4 v
