Full Description

A previously developed field aluminum speciation method was used to study at what level and in what state aluminum is found in drinking water at different treatment systems using aluminum coagulation. This method constitutes a characterization of the aluminum in particulate matter and in solution by measuring respectively what proportion is acid leachable and what proportion is extractable. Its capability to define the nature of the aluminum in water along a treatment sequence can help in understanding the origin of aluminum residual levels in finished water. This paper describes the main results obtained and more particularly the treatment problems detected. Includes 6 references, figures.
