Structural Comparison of Soil Aquifer Treatment Versus Membrane Treatment Intended for Indirect Potable Water Reuse in Arizona
亚利桑那州间接饮用水回用土壤含水层处理与膜处理的结构比较
Due to water shortage problems in arid regions such as Arizona, an increasing
number of cities use recycled water as a water resource. Soil aquifer treatment (SAT),
one method of reclaiming water to increase long term drinking water supplies, utilizes the
infiltration of reclaimed water in the subsurface to remove effluent organic matter. An
alternative treatment is the use of membrane technology, nanofiltration (NF) or reverse
osmosis (RO), with subsequent deep well injection. In this study an optimized DOC
isolation approach has been developed for the bulk water characterization of SAT and
membrane treated water. For bulk water characterization it was found that after SAT
treatment dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and UVA254 were reduced by more than 80 %
and after RO treatment by more than 95 %. SUVA254 was found to be a good indicator of
the aromatic hydrophobic character of organic matter and SUVA254 after membrane
treatment shows much lower values than after SAT treatment. This indicates a different
character after SAT and RO treatment. The isolates showed structural differences in
fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), 13C- nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)
spectroscopy and two-dimensional NMR.
