What is Adsorption and Clarification?

What is Adsorption and Clarification?: Adsorption – is the grouping together of molecules on the surface of a solid or liquid; such "groupings" are the result of attractive forces between molecules. Activated carbons are highly porous; they contain mazes of interconnecting channels. An imbalance of molecular forces in the walls attracts many substances; these are physically held (adsorbed) by the [....]

What is Activated Carbon / Charcoal Filter?

What is Activated Carbon / Charcoal Filter?:Activated charcoal filters water through adsorption;
chemicals and some heavy metals are attracted to the surface of the charcoal, and are attached to it. Charcoal filters will filter some pathogens, though they will quickly use up the filter adsorptive ability, and can even contribute to contamination, as the charcoal provides an excellent breeding [....]

What is the Difference Between Incompressible and Compressible Fluids

What is the Difference Between Incompressible and Compressible Fluids:

The dependency of liquid volume on pressure may be expressed in terms of the coefficient of compressibility. The coefficient is constant over a wide range of pressures for a particular material, but is different for each substance and for the solid and liquid states of the same material. For liquids,volume decreases [....]

What is Extended Aeration?

In Extended Aeration, This process takes raw sewage directly into an aerated mix tank for 8 h or more to provide bacteria with optimum conditions to consume the BOD present in the wastewater. The effluent from this mix tank goes to a sedimentation tank where the flocculated colonies of organisms are settled to produce a clear overflow.
