Design of Dam Filters
Dam filters play a crucial role in the overall stability and functionality of embankment dams. These filters are designed to control and manage seepage through the dam structure, preventing erosion and maintaining the long-term integrity of the dam. In this article, we will explore the significance of dam filters and discuss Terzaghi's rules, a set ofChemical Properties of Chlorine - Chemistry of Chlorination
Chlorine is a highly reactive element, readily forming compounds with other elements. It has a strong tendency to gain one electron to achieve a stable electron configuration, resulting in the formation of chloride ions (Cl-). Chlorine can react with a wide range of substances, including metals, nonmetals, and organic compounds.Estimation of Water Demand
While estimating the water demand, the above factors should be considered e.g. the size of the city; its population does matter when estimating the water demand. The more the size of population, more will be the demand. Estimation of water demand is necessary to:Particle Size Analysis in WasteWater
To understand nature of particles that comprise TSS in wastewater, measurement of particle size is undertaken. PSD important in assessing effectiveness of treatment processes (secondary sedimentation, effluent filtration, and effluent disinfection).Classification of Solids in Wastewater
In wastewater treatment, the solid content is classified based on the size and nature of the particles present. The classification helps in determining the appropriate treatment processes for removing or separating solids from the wastewater. Here are the common classifications of solid content in wastewater:
