Abstract

The pre-oxidation agent is potassium permanganate (KMnO4) and the adsorbent is powdered activated carbon in this experiment. The raw water is treated by KMnO4 comparing with KMnO4 and powdered activated carbon in order to study the removal of turbidity, algae and odor. When the KMnO4 dosage is 1.2mg/L, the removal rate of turbidity, chlorohyll(a) and odor are 75.3%, 76.2%, 68.2% respectively. When the dosage of KMnO4 and powdered activated carbon are 1.2mg/L and 15mg/L respectively. The removal rate of turbidity, chlorohyll(a), and odor are 90.3%, 92.7%, 91.9% respectively. The experimental results show that the process that KMnO4 combined with powdered activated carbon achieved more effective turbidity removal.
