A study on the diatomaceous earth filtration of recycling basin supernatant in the water treatment plant

This study performed the research about the recycling basin supernatant by pre-coat filtration in the D water treatment plant at Gwangju. Choice the prompt conditions with diatomaceous earth filtration which makes contaminant reduced in the basin supernatant. Element disk of candle used in this experiment are pore size 10$\mu\textrm{m}$(R), 20$\mu\textrm{m}$(B) and 40$\mu\textrm{m}$(Y). Diatomaceous earth are cake pore size 3.5$\mu\textrm{m}$(A), 7$\mu\textrm{m}$(B) and 17$\mu\textrm{m}$(C). The filtrate concentrations were from 0.18 to 0.92$\mu\textrm{g}$/1 of Chlorophyll-a. And then, removal rate percentage were from 78.30 to 95.57(R-A). In addition SS 80%, CODMn32% COD 61%, T-N 10% and T-P 39% on the D water treatment plant. The R(40$\mu\textrm{m}$) C(17$\mu\textrm{m}$) process can be substituted of reusing the recycled water of recycling basin supernatant view of capacity and removal rate of filtrate.
