开发了一个预测Mn+2氧化和高锰酸钾还原的模型，并用全尺寸数据进行了验证。需要制定特定于现场的速率常数，以使模型准确。模拟实验的结果解释了柯林斯堡水处理设施对化学计量过量高锰酸钾的需求。目前，氧化剂添加和凝固之间的停留时间为3到9分钟，这对于化学计量的高锰酸钾剂量来说是不够的。增加高锰酸钾的浓度可提高氧化速率，从而在氧化剂在固体接触澄清器中淬火之前完成氧化。 该模型还被用于滞留池的设计，以确保在进入混凝过程之前，高锰酸钾浓度可以大幅衰减。建模实验的结果强调了在速率表达式中包含DOC的重要性。当增加一个额外的速率常数（k4）来解释这一需求时，高锰酸钾衰变的预测要准确得多。

A model to predict Mn+2 oxidation and KMnO4 reduction has been developed and tested with full scale data. Site specific rate constants needed to be developed to make the model accurate. The findings from the modeling experiments explain the need for the stoichiometric overdose of KMnO4 at the Fort Collins Water Treatment Facility. The detention time that presently exists between oxidant addition and coagulation is between 3 and 9 minutes which is not sufficient with a stoichiometric KMnO4 dose. Increasing the concentration of KMnO4 increases the oxidation rate allowing the oxidation to be completed before the oxidant is quenched in the solids contact clarifiers. The model is also being used in the design of a detention basin to assure that the KMnO4 concentration is allowed to substantially decay before entering the coagulation process. The results of the modeling experiments emphasized the importance of including DOC in the rate expressions. When an additional rate constant (k4) is added to account for this demand, the prediction of KMnO4 decay is significantly more accurate.
