Laboratory Research of Riverbank Filtration for Pollutants Removal in Huai River Water.

Abstract: Laboratory continuous flow-through riverbank filtration (RBF) models were developed to study the organic substances and ammonia nitrogen removal efficiency in the riverbank filtration process. The results indicated that the priority pollutants, organic substances and ammonia nitrogen, could be removed to a great extent. The results also indicate that the quality of the Huai River water is acceptable to operate the abstraction system with the riverbank filtration. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
