Water Treatment: Particle Removal

This lecture covers the challenges posed by redox active components in water treatment, such as arsenic toxicity and the formation of potentially toxic compounds. It also discusses the detection of chlorothalonil in groundwater, the importance of aerobic groundwater recharge, and the processes involved in lakes' redox reactions. The instructor explains the mobilization of arsenic sources, the symptoms of arsenicosis, and the measures to restore lakes' water quality, emphasizing the impact of eutrophication. Additionally, the lecture delves into the treatment processes for particle separation, the regulatory framework for water quality, and the significance of drinking water standards in ensuring human health.
