TAILIEUCHUNG - Application of pre ozonation for removal of disinfection by-products-pre cursor from SaiGon river water
This study aimed to apply pre-ozonation for removal of disinfection by-products precursors to reduce the formation of trihalomethanes (THMs) in Saigon river water. The pre-ozonation process was conducted in a lab-scale ozone contactor. The raw water sample was collected from Saigon River at the Hoa Phu pump station in Cu Chi District, Ho Chi Minh City. | Journal of Science and Technology 54 (2A) (2016) 281-286 APPLICATION OF PRE-OZONATION FOR REMOVAL OF DISINFECTION BY- PRODUCTS PRE-CURSOR FROM SAIGON RIVER WATER Bui Thi Thanh Loan1, Vo Minh Phuong1, Phan Thanh Hiep1, Tran Kim Thach2, Vo Minh Chau2, Nguyen Minh Tri1, Nguyen Nhat Huy1, Tran Tien Khoi1 and Nguyen Phuoc Dan1, * Ho Chi Minh city University of Technology, VNU – HCM, 268 Ly Thuong Kiet Street, District 10, Ho Chi Minh City 1 2 Saigon Water Supply Company (SAWACO), No. 1, Cong Truong Quoc Te Street, Ward 6, District 3, Ho Chi Minh City * Email: npdan@ Received: 1 April 2016; Accepted for publication: 15 June 2016 ABSTRACT This study aimed to apply pre-ozonation for removal of disinfection by-products precursors to reduce the formation of trihalomethanes (THMs) in Saigon river water. The pre-ozonation process was conducted in a lab-scale ozone contactor. The raw water sample was collected from Saigon River at the Hoa Phu pump station in Cu Chi District, Ho Chi Minh City. The suitable condition for pre-ozonation was found. At ozone dose of mgO3/mgDOC, pH of , and contact time of 15 minutes, the removal efficiency of turbidity, color, iron, manganese, dissolved organic carbon (DOC), trihalomethanes formation potential (THMFP) were 36 %, 25 %, 56 %, 81 %, 35 %, and 46 %, respectively. These results indicated that the pre-ozonation could reduce DOC concentration and thus resulted in significant mitigation of THMs formation. In comparison with pre-chlorination, THMFP of raw water pretreated by pre-ozonation was lower. Moreover, this study showed that the pre-ozonation was more effective than pre-chlorination in terms of turbidity, color, manganese, and DOC removals. Keywords: disinfection by-products (DBPs), THMFP, pre-ozonation, pre-chlorination. 1.
