本文介绍了一项研究的结果，该研究试图优化五个大型水处理厂的石棉颗粒去除，这些水处理厂的进水中含有低到高浓度的温石棉纤维。研究中使用的分析方法包括将样品通过薄膜过滤器，并将过滤器的一部分转移到网格上，在网格上可以使用透射电子显微镜观察纤维。还分析了受试水处理厂采用的处理技术。每个工厂去除石棉纤维的能力取决于进水中的石棉浓度和各个处理工艺的效率。 优化处理导致废水石棉浓度低于标准处理。包括12个参考文献、表格和图表。

This article presents results from a study that attempted to optimize removal of asbestos particles at five large water treatment plants receiving low to high concentrations of chrysotile asbestos fibers in their influents. The analytical method used in the study involved passing a sample through a membrane filter and transferring part of the filter to a grid on which the fibers can be observed by using a transmission electron microscope. Treatment techniques employed by the tested water treatment plants were also analyzed. The ability of each plant to remove asbestos fibers was dependent on the asbestos concentration in the influent and on the efficiencies of the individual treatment processes. Optimized treatment resulted in lower effluent asbestos concentrations than standard treatment. Includes 12 references, tables, figures.
