Abstract:The effect of chlorine concentration, ground water pH, and contact time on chlorine demand and the inactivation of coliform bacteria, Escherichia coli, was studied in the laboratory using a batch reactor under controlled environmental conditions. Ground water for this study was obtained from 200m deep wells in Bangkok, Thailand. The test results demonstrate that the kinetics of chlorine inactivation of coliforms in ground water consist of an initial rapid kill rate followed by a slower rate. Disinfection was m… Show more
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.
