Advanced removal methods of matter difficult to coagulate during drinking water treatment
Fialová, Kateřina ; Pivokonský, Martin (advisor) ; Mašín, Pavel (referee) ; Brányik, Tomáš (referee)
Nowadays, drinking water treatment (DWT) is becoming more and more challenging due to the increasing anthropogenic pollution as well as due to the impacts of climate change. Water sources commonly comprise a cocktail of undesirable substances, the removal of which by the conventional DWT process based on coagulation/flocculation is often insufficient. This dissertation deals with advanced removal methods, particularly adsorption, usable for difficult to coagulate substances during DWT. Particular emphasis is placed on removing manganese, algal organic matter (AOM), and per- and polyfluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS). Additionally, in the case of emerging anthropogenic pollutants, attention was also paid to their occurrence and interactions in water. As part of the research, a new TiO2-based adsorbent was synthesized for Mn2+ removal. Since the prepared adsorbent showed high Mn2+ removal efficiency in a much wider range of pH values compared to the conventional demanganization method, which requires very high pH values, it could serve as a suitable alternative demanganization method. Regarding the removal of AOM, the influence of solution properties on its adsorption onto different types of granular activated carbon (GAC) was thoroughly investigated. It was found that the efficiency of AOM...

Electrocoagulation method for treatment of polluted waters
Krušinová, Zuzana ; Klusoň, Petr (advisor) ; Mašín, Pavel (referee)
Many drinking water treatment facilities face problems with algal organic matter (AOM) due to eutrophication of the environment and frequent occurrence of algal blooms. AOM can cause deterioration of water organoleptic properties, but the main threat is the potential for acting as a precursor of toxic disinfection by-products (DBPs). The presented master thesis deals with the possibility of using electrocoagulation (EC) - an innovative electrochemical method - to remove cellular organic matter (COM) produced by cyanobacteria Microcystis aeruginosa from drinking water. EC is similar to widely used chemical coagulation, the difference is that during EC the coagulant is produced by electrochemical dissolution of an iron or an aluminum electrode. Synthetic water with COM concentration of 5.5 and 8.5 mg/L of TOC was used for the experiments. The target value of conductivity (4.5 mS/cm) was reached by addition of NaCl. pH of the solution was adjusted by HCl and NaOH. During some of the experiments, NaHCO3 was added to increase the ANC4.5. The experiments were conducted in a batch mode with a stainless-steel cathode and an aluminum or an iron anode. The coagulant dosage was regulated by applied electric current passing through the electrodes. Flocs were separated by sedimentation and centrifugation. COM...

Removal of Toxic Metals from Contaminated Water by Elektrocoagulation Method.
Mašín, P. ; Krystyník, Pavel ; Klusoň, Petr ; Jadrný, J. ; Krušinová, Z. ; Kroužek, J.
This paper is focused on a pilot scale electrocoagulation method for heavy toxic metal removal from contaminated ground water and waste water. High efficiency, over 99 % removal of ions Cr6+ and Ni2+ (after arise pH to value 9) has been achieved, during treatment groundwater with content 40 respectively 90 mg/l of chromium and nickel. Mainly disadvantage this technology was coating of electrode plate with ferrous oxides or hydroxides and decreasing of heavy metal removal. It was necessary performed periodical flushing with water and regeneration electrode plates helpful solution of H3P04. Following application of electrocoagulation was performed in wastewater produced from leaking of fly ash from incineration plant of municipal waste. Electrocoagulation process was very effective for reducing of Zn and Pb, but decrease of content Cd was only 20 %. It was found, that Cd must be coprecipitated with Na2S and other alternatives are not effective. Thus, for this electrocoagulation technology was found appropriate utilization for effectively reduce of Zn content.\n

Pilot Scale Testing of Electrocoagulation to Remove Cr6 +, Ni and Zn from Contaminated Groundwater.
Mašín, P. ; Krystyník, Pavel ; Klusoň, Petr ; Krušinová, Z.
Testing has shown a high efficiency in removal of toxic metals, especially chromium (Cr6+ and Crcelk.). The content of contaminants in treated water was mostly under limits for discharging water into the surface water recipient. The pH 4.5 of inlet water was optimal for the electrochemical reduction of Cr6+ to Cr3+ followed by coagulation. Increase of pH was performed in order to increase efficiency of Ni removal. The power input of electrode cells at the current input of 45 A was 1.3 kWh.m-3 of cleaned water. The life of one electrode pack was 35 m3 of contaminated water at mentioned current input.

Pilot-scale Operation of Electrocoagulation for Removal of Toxic Metals.
Krystyník, Pavel ; Mašín, P. ; Krušinová, Z. ; Klusoň, Petr
The process was tested in pilot-scale unit placed in movable container and operated in continuous regime. The results have shown that the removal efficacies are strongly dependent on the dose of coagulant, which is the most important and crucial parameters affecting performance of electrocoagulation and of course on other process parameters. It is also very reliant on contaminant content in treated effluent. An addition of flocculating agent was also tested on the improvements of process performance.

Pilot Scale Testing of Microwave Heating for In-Situ Decontamination of Unsaturated Zone.
Mašín, P. ; Maštalka, J. ; Sobek, Jiří ; Hájek, Milan
This artickel is focused on a microwave heating unsaturated zone performed by microwave generator (magnetron) of 6 kW and a frequency of 2 450 MHz. Application well was constructed from ceramic casing pipe, which is transparent for the penetrating microwave radiation, to inside was placed a waveguide for guiding microwave radiation. They were tested waveguides square (49 x 99 mm) and round (Ø 105 mm) consist of 4 segments with a total length of 4 m. Construction waveguides allow microwave radiation conduit and simultaneously drainage of desorbed vapors contaminants, which\nwere then drawn off conventional pump.
