Nearly one fifth of all water used in the world is obtained from groundwater. The protection of water has become a high priority goal. During the last decades pollution of water has become more and more severe. Today groundwater is more and more used in comparison with surface water. Recently we have seen accidents, which can pollute nearly all surface water very quickly. Generally the groundwater is easier to protect, as well as cheaper to purify, and above all it is of better quality than the surface water. During the past two decades, alternatives to the traditional method of treating the water in filters have been developed, that is in situ water treatment i.e. the VYREDOX and NITREDOX methods. The most common problem regarding groundwater is too high content of iron and manganese, which can be reduced with the VYREDOX method. In some areas today there are severe problems with pollution by hydrocarbons and nitrate as well, and with modification of the VYREDOX treatment method it is used for hydrocarbon and nitrate treatment as well. The method to reduce the nitrate and nitrite is known as the NITREDOX method.

Abstract This paper presents the results of the first phase of research that evaluates options for the optimization of waste-water management during water treatment. The research was conducted in a specific treatment plant, with surface-water sources, to verify the option of recirculating part of the sludge-water back to the beginning of the technological line and mixing this with a portion of raw water. An evaluation of risk factors is necessary for such treatment, as they could render the recirculation of the backwashing water impossible. The motivation behind this research lies in the potential savings of operating costs, particularly the costs of pumping raw water from a watercourse. This research evaluated data regarding the quality of both raw and processed water, focusing on six indicators – turbidity, color, chemical oxygen demand, and concentrations of aluminum, iron and manganese. The evaluation established through these factors indicates that the plan for returning a certain volume of sludge-water back into the process is possible and should cause no problems regarding the quality of drinking water produced. Based on the results of the first phase of this research, it is possible to recirculate up to 6% of overall raw-water volume back into the process.

Many water treatment plants (WTPs) were designed to remove ammonia, iron, and manganese simultaneously using biofilters. In some cases (especially in the Pianura Padana area, in Italy) such plants were designed without a specific treatment stage for arsenic removal because its concentration in the groundwater (i.e. 10 to 20 μg/L) was lower than the previous maximum contaminant level (MCL) of 50 μg-As/L; therefore, specific treatments for arsenic removal must be introduced or upgraded in WTPs. In this work, the results of a 19-month monitoring campaign are reported for a pilot granular ferric oxide (GFO) filter installed in an Italian WTP as a polishing stage. The aim was to investigate the performance of GFO with low arsenic concentrations. The results show that, if the groundwater arsenic concentration is close to the MCL, GFO treatment can be cost effective (approximately 80,000 bed volumes have been treated). It was confirmed that GFO can be effective for the removal of both As(III) and As(V) species.

Minerals of biological origin have shown significant potential for the separation of contaminants from water worldwide. This study details the contribution of biologically derived minerals to water treatment operations, with a focus on filtration media from urban municipalities and remote cold regions. The results support biofilm-embedded iron and manganese to be the building blocks of biogenic mineral development on activated carbon and nutrient-amended zeolites. The presence of similar iron and manganese oxidising bacterial species across all filter media supports the analogous morphologies of biogenic minerals between sites and suggests that biological water treatment processes may be feasible across a range of climates. This is the first time the stages of biogenic mineral formation have been aligned with comprehensive imaging of the biofilm community and bacterial identification; especially with respect to cold regions. Where biogenic mineral formation occurs on filter media, the potential exists for enhanced adsorption for a range of organic and inorganic contaminants and improved longevity of filter media beyond the adsorption or exchange capacities of the raw material.

Two different kinds of water were treated with aeration-contact oxidation filtration process. One was groundwater containing iron and manganese (GIM), the other was GIM polluted by ammonia (GAIM). The results showed that ammonia has almost no influence on iron removal, but has great influence on manganese. Under the condition of 1m/h filter velocity and 10 mg/L average ammonia nitrogen concentration of inlet，the outlet manganese concentration for GAIM was less than 0.1 mg/L after 315 days. When temperature dropped to 18°C below, the manganese concentration of effluent exceeded 0.1 mg/L. When average ammonia nitrogen concentration of inlet for GAIM dropped to 3.27 mg/L, the manganese concentration of outlet for GAIM was less than 0.1 mg/L in winter. And for GIM, the manganese concentration of outlet was less than 0.1 mg/L only after 52 days. Although the filter velocity increased gradually from 1 to 7 m/h, the manganese concentration of effluent was always less than 0.1 mg/L. Therefore, ammonia pollution in the groundwater greatly increases the difficulty of water treatment.

Purpose. To determine composition and properties of iron-manganese crusts formed on grainy filtration load granules surface in the process of underground waters cleaning from Fe2+ and Mn2+, and to determine the application limits and perspective trends of the offered water preparation technology development, conditioned by the properties of these crusts. Method. For the analysis of physical and chemical properties of iron-manganese crusts analytical methods are used on the base of leaching and determination of iron and manganese content in solution and for more precise definition of crust qualitative composition an X-ray fluorescent photography spectrometry is used. For determination of crystalline structure an X-ray photography diffractometry was used, and the thickness of film was determined by mechanical micrometry. Processing of the received information and graphic interpretation of data is executed with application of LibreOffice Cacl, Gnumeric and PSPP software. Results. Determined physicochemical characteristics of iron-manganese crust formed on granules surface of grainy filtration load, the metrical sizes of film are determined: thickness and mass, analytically determined by lixiviating contents of iron and manganese in a crust. Manganites, that form a crust, are dispersion characterized; on some occasion considerable amount of roentgenoamorphous phase is formed, and in other - a crystalline form predominates as todorokite. In our opinion, it is determined by correlation of Mn/Fe concentrations in initial water. Results of crust measuring on the granules of filtration load on the water treatment station in town of Uzin is the following: thickness 0,518±0,209 mm; mass 0,0039±0,0004 g, manganese contents and total iron, accordingly, 115,59±4,33 mg/dm3 and 55,33±30,85 mg/dm3. Manganese and iron contents, which were lixiviated from the crusts of filtration load on the water treatment station in Chervona Sloboda village, accordingly: 55,067±10,946 mg/dm3; 100,476±4,284 mg/dm3. Scientific novelty. Firstly possibility of forming catalytic crust (film) from iron-manganese compositions on the filtration load surface is experimentally proved, among those compositions there are higher oxides of manganese in considerable volumes. Having determined their crystalline and chemical structure, it was proved that they provide the effective removal of iron and manganese over the norm contents from water and in a perspective can be used for the removal of a number of low valency cations among which the removal of Ñà2+ and Âr2+ is experimentally confirmed. Practical significance. Based on the known geobiochemical cycles of iron and manganese a new water treatment technology and also a new filter material with considerable potential of subsequent improvement and application are gotten, unlike classic technologies of manganese removal this method does not require bringing in additional reagents at Mn(II) → Mn(IV) oxidation.
