Co2 Gas

CO2 gas with a special isotopic signature (δ13C = −35.2‰ vs. VPDB) was used as a marker to evaluate the efficiency of a drinking water treatment method and the effect of an ultrasonic (US) stirrer. This treatment was developed to prevent precipitation and corrosion effects in water–supply systems. The research work was performed using a laboratory-scale pilot plant that was filled with tap water. The stable isotope analyses of δ13C-DIC (Dissolved Inorganic Carbon) in the water samples indicated that the maximum content of added CO2 gas in DIC was in the range of 35 to 45%. The use of the US stirrer during the entire experiment decreased the method's overall efficiency by 10%, due to degassing at a late stage of the experiment but accelerated the dissolution process in the early experimental stage.

Abstract Quinolone (QN) antibiotics are widely used all over the world and have been frequently detected in source water, but the occurrence in tap water and the treatment efficiencies of QNs by drinking-water treatment plants (DWTPs) were rarely reported. In the present study, the occurrence and distribution of six representative QNs in three urban DWTPs of China were investigated. The results showed that the concentrations of total QNs in the three source waters ranged from 26.4 ng/L to 313.8 ng/L and all of the six QNs were detectable with a detection frequency of 100% (4.6 to 121.7 ng/L). Enrofloxacin (ENR) and ofloxacin (OFL) were the dominant species of QNs and accounted for 40.1% to 79.5% of the total QNs. After the treatments, there were still considerable QNs in the finished water (total amounts of 74.9 ng/L to 148.4 ng/L). The adsorbed QNs could be readily treated with the removal of turbidity by DWTPs, but only a part of the dissolved QNs (13.6% to 68.5%) can be removed. This implies that the dissolved QNs were more hazardous in the source water. Pre-oxidation and disinfection could remove 15.8 ± 8.3% and 16.9 ± 10.8% of dissolved QNs, respectively, depending on the chemical structure of QNs and the types of oxidant. Chemical oxidation was more efficient than coagulation-sedimentation and filtration for the treatment of dissolved QNs. Ozone-granular activated carbon filtration may fail to remove dissolved QNs in the actual DWTPs, because of the insufficient dosage of oxidant and the competition effect of natural organic matter.

Inorganic Adsorbents

The demand and market growth of activated carbon (AC) in drinking water treatment have been increasing over the recent years. This is because of the better properties and relatively lower cost of AC compared to inorganic adsorbents like ceramics. However, there have been limited studies on the effects of AC preparation including type of cleansing agent on the adsorption of metal and the turbidity of treated tap water. Therefore, this research investigated the effect of types of cleansing agent and sorbent dosage on turbidity reduction and metal removal in drinking water treatment. The analysis showed that 200 g dosage of AC that has been cleansed with FeCl3 has the turbidity and metal removal improved the most. For aesthetic value of drinking water though, filtration by using AC cleansed with KOH gave better taste and increasing the sorbent dosage up to 300 g increased this performance.

Di Indonesia, khususnya di sekitar Politeknik Negeri Bandung, sebagian besar sumber air berasal dari air tanah. Air tanah di lingkungan Politeknik Negeri Bandung memiliki pH asam (< 6), coliform > 2.400, dan colitinja positif. Proses pemanasan air kurang efektif untuk mengolah air tanah karena memerlukan waktu yang relatif lama, energi besar, dan tidak dapat meningkatkan pH air agar memenuhi standar air minum sebagaimana tercantum dalam Permenkes Nomor 492/MENKES/PER/IV/2010. Untuk mengolah air tanah di lingkungan Politeknik Negeri Bandung, telah dibuat alat pengolahan air minum portabel dengan menggunakan konsep aliran dead-end filtration. Membran yang dipakai merupakan membran hollow-fiber, berjenis membran ultrafiltrasi berbahan dasar PVDF (Poly Vinylidene Flouride), ukuran pori 0,1μm, panjang membran 15cm, jumlah membran sebanyak 148 buah, dan dapat dioperasikan pada daya isap normal manusia.  Permeat yang dihasilkan sesuai dengan standar PERMENKES No. 492/MENKES/PER/IV/2010 dari parameter fisika, kimia, dan biologi. Lifetime membran diamati melalui jumlah permeat yang dihasilkan dari awal pemakaian membran hingga membran tersebut rusak. Lifetime pada alat pengolah air minum portabel ini adalah 38,879 L. Pengolahan air tanah menggunakan alat ini  dapat menaikkan pH sebesar 12,78%, menurunkan konduktivitas sebesar 39,31%, dan menurunkan Total Dissolved Solid (TDS) 13,72%. Dari segi ekonomi, penggunaan alat ini dapat menghemat biaya 50% dibandingkan dengan pembelian air minum kemasan 600 ml.In Indonesia, especially around the Bandung State Polytechnic, most of the water sources come from ground water. Ground water in the Bandung State Polytechnic environment has acidic pH (<6), coliform> 2,400, and positive colitis. The process of water heating is less effective for treating ground water because it requires a relatively long time, large energy, and can not increase the pH of the water to meet drinking water standards as stated in Permenkes No. 492 / MENKES / PER / IV / 2010. To treat ground water in the Bandung State Polytechnic, portable drinking water treatment equipment has been made using the concept of dead-end flow filtration. The membrane used is a hollow-fiber membrane, a type of ultrafiltration membrane made from PVDF (Poly Vinylidene Fluoride), pore size of 0.1μm, membrane length of 15cm, membrane number of 148 pieces, and can be operated on normal human suction. The permeate produced is in accordance with PERMENKES No. 492 / MENKES / PER / IV / 2010 from physical, chemical and biological parameters. Lifetime membranes are observed through the amount of permeate produced from the beginning of the use of the membrane until the membrane is damaged. Lifetime of this portable drinking water treatment device is 38,879 L. Ground water treatment using this tool can increase pH by 12.78%, decrease conductivity by 39.31%, and reduce Total Dissolved Solid (TDS) 13.72%. From an economic standpoint, the use of this tool can save 50% costs compared to the purchase of 600 ml of bottled water.

Although immunocompromised persons may be at increased risk for gastrointestinal illnesses, no trials investigating drinking water treatment and gastrointestinal illness in such patients have been published. Earlier results from San Francisco suggested an association (OR 6.76) between tap water and cryptosporidiosis among HIV+ persons. The authors conducted a randomized, triple-blinded intervention trial of home water treatment in San Francisco, California, from April 2000 to May 2001. Fifty HIV-positive patients were randomized to externally identical active (N = 24) or sham (N = 26) treatment devices. The active device contained a filter and UV light; the sham provided no treatment. Forty-five (90%) of the participants completed the study and were successfully blinded. Illness was measured using ‘highly credible gastrointestinal illness’ (HCGI), a previously published measure. There were 31 episodes of HCGI during 1,797 person-days in the sham group and 16 episodes during 1,478 person-days in the active group. The adjusted relative risk was 3.34 (95% CI: 0.99–11.21) times greater in those with the sham device. The magnitude of the point estimate of the risk, its consistency with recently published observational data, and its relevance for drinking water choices by immunocompromised individuals support the need for larger trials.

ABSTRACT The occurrence and spread of antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARB) are pressing public health problems worldwide, and aquatic ecosystems are a recognized reservoir for ARB. We used culture-dependent methods and quantitative molecular techniques to detect and quantify ARB and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in source waters, drinking water treatment plants, and tap water from several cities in Michigan and Ohio. We found ARGs and heterotrophic ARB in all finished water and tap water tested, although the amounts were small. The quantities of most ARGs were greater in tap water than in finished water and source water. In general, the levels of bacteria were higher in source water than in tap water, and the levels of ARB were higher in tap water than in finished water, indicating that there was regrowth of bacteria in drinking water distribution systems. Elevated resistance to some antibiotics was observed during water treatment and in tap water. Water treatment might increase the antibiotic resistance of surviving bacteria, and water distribution systems may serve as an important reservoir for the spread of antibiotic resistance to opportunistic pathogens.
