Ozone dosage in most water treatment plants is operated by determining the ozone concentration with the experience of the operation. In this case, it is not economical. This study selected the factors affecting residual ozone concentration and attempted to estimate the optimum amount of hydrogen peroxide dosage for the control of the residual ozone concentration by developing a model for the prediction of the residual ozone concentration. The prediction formulas developed in this study can quickly respond to the environment of water quality and surrounding environmental factors, which change in real time, so it is judged that they could be used for the operation of the optimum ozone process, and the control of ozone dosage could be used as a new method in controlling the concentration of ozone dosage and the concentration of residual ozone.

Efforts to control of unwanted disinfection by-products (DBPs) can be hindered by the relatively low-frequency data that is generated from DBP monitoring for regulatory purposes. Differential UV absorbance (DUVA) has the potential to overcome some of these difficulties as a relatively simple and low-cost technique for the estimation of regulated DBPs (i.e., trihalomethanes, THMs, and haloacetic acids, HAAs). DUVA is based on the principle that differences in UV absorbance at specific wavelengths before and after chlorination can be correlated to DBP occurrence. This project sought to assess a lab-based protocol for the determination of a site-specific linear calibration curve for in situ real-time estimations of DBPs from DUVA measurement in water treatment plants (WTPs). A field spectrophotometer probe capable of high frequency scans within the UV light wavelength spectra with light paths of 100 mm was used. Models were developed to estimate DBP levels, at a scale representative of DUVA and DBP levels that actually occur in the WTP under study. Results showed that level of uncertainty on DBP levels estimation is relatively low (23% for HAAs and 32% for THMs). Although DBP estimations through DUVA are not of regulatory value, they can be used for real-time estimation of DBP levels to better inform operational decision making in water treatment plants and management of DBPs in distribution systems.

The water purification procedure aims to obtain a product appropriate for human consumption, minimizing the presence of contaminants and toxic substances present in the water. Among these contaminants, some radionuclides of natural origin, such as uranium, thorium and their descendants, have been identified. Studies have shown that the stages of purification are quite effective in removing the radionuclides contained in water. The removal is due to co-precipitation of the radionuclides with the suspended materials and the precipitated material is accumulated and characterized as a Technologically Concentrated Natural Occurrence Radioactive Material (TENORM) by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA). This residue can present significant levels of radioactivity and, when discarded in the environment without any treatment, can generate a problem of environmental impact and a risk to the health of the population. In this way, some gamma emitters of the series of U, Th and the K-40 were determined in the residues generated at the Potable Water Treatment Plants – PWTPs in six municipalities of Pernambuco. The results obtain corroborate the classification of the residues generated in the PWTPs as concentrators of the radioactive components contained in the water supplied to the system and reinforce the need for the release to the environment, which is the usual way of disposal of this waste, to be carried out only after considering the radiological protection standards established.
