| description abstract | In this project the use of natural media filtration (NMF) was evaluated for its ability to remove colloidal particles from the aqueous phase as a function of ionic strength and filter media type by determining first-order kinetic deposition rate coefficients. Mushroom compost (MC) and leaf compost (LC) were tested as natural filter media and the results were compared to those obtained using sand and granular activated carbon (GAC). The highest deposition rate coefficients were observed for GAC, followed by LC and MC, and the lowest deposition rate coefficients were found for sand. As predicted by the Derjaguin–Landau–Verwey–Overbeek theory, higher deposition rates were obtained at higher solution ionic strengths. Overall the experiments suggest that the NMF process can efficiently remove colloidal particles from surface waters. | |
