摘要
Continuous gravity-fed column experiments using the methylene blue (MB) discoloration method were performed to characterize the suitability of a pozzolan (PZ) specimen as alternative admixing aggregate for metallic iron filters (Fe-0-filters). Investigated systems were: (i) pure sand, (ii) pure PZ, (iii) pure Fe-0, (iv) Fe-0/ sand, (v) Fe-0 / PZ, and (vi) Fe-0/ sand / PZ. The volumetric proportion of Fe-0 was 25%. The volumetric proportions of the Fe-0 / sand / PZ system was 25 / 45/ 30. The initial MB concentration was 2.0 mg. L-1, 6.0 g of Fe-0 was used, and the experiments lasted for 46 days. The individual systems were fed with 3.9 to 8.4 L (7.80 to 16.69 mg of MB) and were characterized by the time-dependent changes of: (i) the pH value, (ii) the iron breakthrough, (iii) the MB breakthrough, and (iv) the hydraulic conductivity. Results showed that the Fe-0 / sand / PZ system was the most efficient. This ternary system was also the most permeable and therefore the most sustainable. The suitability of MB as a powerful operative indicator for the characterization of processes in the Fe-0 / H2O system was confirmed. The tested PZ is recommended as an alternative material for efficient but sustainable Fe-0 filters.
