More DetailsSlow sand filters are the least complex type of granular media filter. They are typically housed in reinforced concrete structures, with a basin with a bed of relatively fine sand placed over support gravel (0.3–0.6 m in depth) and underdrain piping up to 0.9–1.5 m in length. The filtration …
More DetailsSlow sand filters (SSFs) are probably the most effective, simplest and least expensive water treatment process. Micro-organisms and other particulate materials are effectively removed by SSFs. Considerable development has been done on SSFs with respect to particle removal, but only a few works have been reported in the context of the removal of heavy metals which are a severely toxic pollutant ...
More DetailsSlow sand filtration is a rentable biological water disinfection method that is capable of reducing the amount of algae, fungi, bacteria and some viruses (e.g. TMV not) in the water. When combined with aeration, the filter can also remove calcium and iron from the water. This system is also useful for small companies (< 1 ha).
More DetailsIron and Manganese. Slow sand filters remove iron and manganese through precipitation on the sand surface in a scaling-like action, but an upper limit of 1 mg/L of iron is suggested to avoid forming an iron precipitate that could clog filters. A similar limit for manganese would also appear to be acceptable.

More Details· Arsenic removal can occur in a traditional iron removal treatment plant with mixing and settling basins followed by granular media filters. Oxidation/filtration can be used as a special case of pressurized granular-media filtration where the granular media catalyzes the oxidation and precipitation of iron and manganese.
More Details· The removal potential of slow sand filtration was investigated in a continuous fixed-bed adsorption system as a replacement of current expensive methods for decontaminating water. This study was achieved on Tensift River water contaminated by metallic trace elements (Cd, Cu, Pb and Zn) that received directly wastewater of industrial unit of Zn and Pb extraction of Draa Lasfar mine near ...
