Scope1.1 This practice covers a general procedure for the evalu-ation of a treatment to reduce dissolved, suspended, colloidal,and no
3、nsettleable matter from water by chemical coagulation-flocculation, followed by gravity settling. The procedure maybe used to evaluate color, turbidity, and hardness reduction.1.2 The practice provides a systematic evaluation of thevariables normally encountered in the coagulation-flocculationproces

Summary of Practice4.1 The coagulation-flocculation test is carried out to deter-mine the chemicals, dosages, and conditions required toachieve optimum results. The primary variables t
7、o be investi-gated using the recommended practice include, but are notlimited to:4.1.1 Chemical additives,4.1.2 pH,4.1.3 Temperature, and4.1.4 Order of addition and mixing conditions.5. Significance and Use5.1 This practice permits the evaluation of various coagu-lants and coagulant aids used in the
8、 treatment of water andwaste water for the same water and the same experimentalconditions.5.2 The effects of concentration of the coagulants andcoagulant aids and their order of addition can also be evaluatedby this practice.6. Interferences6.1 There are some possible interferences that may make the
9、determination of optimum jar test conditions difficult. Theseinclude the following:6.1.1 Temperature Change (During Test)Thermal or con-vection currents may occur, interfering with the settling ofcoagulated particles. This can be prevented by temperaturecontrol.6.1.2 Gas Release (During Test)Flotati

13、9, United States.6.1.3 Testing-Period Biological activity or other factorsmay alter the coagulation characteristics of water upon pro-longed standing. For this reason the period between samplingand testing should be kept to a minimum, with the time beingrecorded.7. Apparatus7.1 Multiple Stirrer A mu
14、ltiposition stirrer with continu-ous speed variation from about 20 to 150 rpm should be used.The stirring paddles should be of light gage corrosion-resistantmaterial all of the same configuration and size. An illuminatedbase is useful to observe the floc formation. Precautionarymeasures should be ta
15、ken to avoid heat being imparted by theillumination system which may counteract normal settling.7.2 Jars (or Beakers), all of the same size and shape;1500-mL Griffin beakers may be used (1000-mL recommendedminimum size).7.3 Reagent Racks A means of introducing each testsolution to all jars simultane
16、ously. There should be at least onerack for each test solution or suspension. The racks should besimilar to that shown in Fig. 1.8. Reagents8.1 Purity of ReagentsReagent grade chemicals shall beused in all tests. Unless otherwise indicated, it is intended thatall reagents shall conform to the specif
17、ications of the Commit-tee on Analytical Reagents of the American Chemical Society,where such specifications are available.4Other grades may beused, provided it is first ascertained that the reagent is ofsufficiently high purity to permit its use without lessening theaccuracy of the determination.8.
18、2 Purity of Water Unless otherwise indicated, referenceto water for reagent preparation shall be understood to meanType IV reagent water conforming to Specification D 1193.8.3 The following chemicals and additives are typical ofthose used for test solutions and suspensions. The latter, withthe excep

23、harmacopeial Convention, Inc. (USPC), Rockville,MD.FIG. 1 Reagent Rack for Multiple Stirrer Jar Test ApparatusD 2035 80 (2003)28.4 Coagulant Aids There are numerous commerciallyavailable coagulant aids or polyelectrolytes. All polyelectro-lytes are classified anionic, cationic or nonionic, depending
24、upon their composition. These aids may have the ability toproduce large, tough, easily-settled floc when used alone or inconjunction with inorganic coagulants. A small dosage (under1 mg/L) may permit a reduction in the dosage of, or completeelimination of, the coagulant. In the latter case, the poly
25、elec-trolyte would be considered the prime coagulant rather than acoagulant aid. Aids come in powdered and liquid form.Powdered aids should be prepared as 0.1 % solutions withappropriate aliquots to provide proper dosage. Always addpowdered aids to the dissolving water rather than the reverse,and ad
26、d slowly to the shoulder of a vortex created by stirring.If a vortex is not formed, the dry powder will merely collect onthe surface of the water in gummy masses and become verydifficult to dissolve. Dissolving time may vary from severalminutes to several hours. Suggested manufacturers proceduresfor
27、 wetting, dissolving, and storing should be followed whenavailable. Liquid forms can be readily prepared to the abovestrength without difficulty.59. Sampling9.1 Collect the water sample under test in accordance withthe applicable Specification D 1192 and Practices D 3370.10. Procedure10.1 Measure eq
28、ual volumes (1000 mL) of sample intoeach of the jars or 1500-mL Griffin beakers. As many sampleportions may be used as there are positions on the multiplestirrer. Locate beakers so that the paddles are off-center, butclear the beaker wall by about 6.4 mm (14 in.). Record thesample temperature at the
29、 start of the test.10.2 Load the test chemicals in the reagent racks. Use onerack for each series of chemical additions. Make up each tubein the rack to a final volume of 10 mL, with water, beforeusing. There may be a situation where a larger volume ofreagent will be required. Should this condition
30、prevail, fill alltubes with water to a volume equal to the largest volume ofreagent in the reagent rack. When adding slurries, it may benecessary to shake the rack to produce a swirling motion justprior to transfer.10.3 Start the multiple stirrer operating at the “flash mix”speed of approximately 12
31、0 rpm. Add the test solution orsuspensions, at predetermined dosage levels and sequence.Flash mix for approximately 1 min after the additions ofchemicals. Record the flash mix time and speed (rpm).10.4 Reduce the speed as necessary to the minimum re-quired to keep floc particles uniformly suspended
32、throughoutthe “slow mix” period. Slow mix for 20 min. Record the timefor the first visible floc formation. Every 5 min (during theslow mix period), record relative floc size and mixer speed(rpm). If coagulant aids are used, mixing speed is criticalbecause excessive stirring tends to break up early f
33、loc forma-tion and may redisperse the aid.10.5 After the slow mix period, withdraw the paddles andobserve settling of floc particles. Record the time required forthe bulk of the particles to settle. In most cases this time willbe that required for the particles to settle to the bottom of thebeaker;
34、however, in some cases there may be interferingconvection currents. If so, the recorded settling time should bethat at which the unsettled or residual particles appear to bemoving equally upward and downward.10.6 After 15 min of settling, record the appearance of flocon the beaker bottom. Record the
35、 sample temperature. Bymeans of a pipet or siphon, withdraw an adequate samplevolume of supernatant liquor from the jar at a point one half ofthe depth of the sample, to conduct color,6turbidity, pH andother required analyses, (Note 1) determined in accordancewith Test Methods D 1889 and D 1293. A s
36、uggested form forrecording results is appended (see Fig. 2).NOTE 1Tests for residual chemicals should be included, for example,alum; residual Al2O3; copperas; residual Fe2O3; etc.10.7 Repeat steps 10.1-10.6 until all pertinent variableshave been evaluated.10.8 The times given in 10.3, 10.4, and 10.6
37、 are onlysuggestions.11. Reproducibility11.1 It is recognized that reproducibility of results is impor-tant. To demonstrate reproducibility, the so-called 3 and 3procedure is suggested. In this procedure, duplicate sets of 3jars each are treated simultaneously with the same chemicaldosages in jars 1
38、 and 4, 2 and 5, and 3 and 6.12.
