A method is offered for evaluating the various modes involved in particle removal from water by means of deep‐bed filtration. Based on backwashing kinetics, this method takes into account the mechanisms associated with particle attachment (with and without alum treatment), particle agglomeration, and particle detachment.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
