n Contaminant: Any physical, chemical, biological, or radiological substance or matter that has an adverse effect on air, water, or soil.

(agricultural, land use)

Disinfection

Disinfectionn Water or wastewater processes for controlling

microbial contaminants to prevent the transmission of waterborne disease through the infection by pathogenic microorganisms.

Free Chlorine - Background and Historyn Considered to be first used in 1905 in Londonn Reactions for free chlorine formation:

Cl2 (g) + H2O <=> HOCl + H+ + Cl-HOCl <=> H+ + OCl-

n Chemical forms of free chlorine: Cl2 (gas), NaOCl (liquid), or Ca(OCl)2 (solid)

n Has been the “disinfectant of choice” in US until recently.n recommended maximum residual concentration of free chlorine < 5

mg/L (by US EPA)n Concerns about the toxicity of free chlorine disinfection by-products

(trihalomethanes and other chlorinated organics)

17

Monochloramine - History and Backgroundn First used in Ottawa, Canada and Denver, Co. (1917)n Became popular to maintain a more stable chlorine residual and

to control taste and odor problems and bacterial re-growth in distribution system in 1930’s

n Decreased usage due to ammonia shortage during World War IIn Increased interest in monochloramine:

q alternative disinfectant to free chlorine due to low THM potentials

q more stable disinfectant residual; persists in distribution system

q secondary disinfectant to ozone and chlorine dioxide disinfection to provide long-lasting residuals

18

Ozone n First used in 1893 at Oudshoonn Used in 40 WTPs in US in 1990 (growing use since then), but more

than 1000WTPs in European countriesn Increased interest as an alternative to free chlorine (strong oxidant;

strong microbiocidal activity; perhaps less toxic DBPs) q A secondary disinfectant giving a stable residual may be needed

to protect water after ozonation, due to short-lasting ozone residual.

n Colorless gas; relatively unstable; reacts with itself and with OH- in water; less stable at higher pH

n Formed by passing dry air (or oxygen) through high voltage electrodes to produce gaseous ozone that is bubbled into the water to be treated.

19

Chlorine Dioxide

n First used in Niagara Fall, NY in 1944 to control phenolic tastes and algae problems

n Used in 600 WTP (84 in the US) in 1970’s as primary disinfectant and for taste and odor control

n Very soluble in water; generated as a gas or a liquid on-site, usually by reaction of Cl2 gas with NaClO2 :q 2 NaClO2 + Cl2 2 ClO2 + 2 NaCl

n Usage became limited after discovery of it’s toxicity in 1970’s & 1980’s q thyroid, neurological disorders and anemia in experimental animals by

chloraten Recommended maximum combined concentration of chlorine dioxide

and it’s by-products < 0.5 mg/L (by US EPA in 1990’s)

Disinfection Kinetics and Dose Concept n Chick-Watson’ law:

where = coefficient of specific lethality. C = concentration of chemical disinfectant.

I = intensity of physical disinfectant. n = empirical constant (frequently 1).Thus,
