Abstract |
A study was conducted to assess the impact of media aging on Cryptosporidium parvum transport and retention in granular filters. Column experiments were conducted with sand, anthracite, and granular activated carbon (GAC) filters. All columns possessed an identical filter design and grain size distribution. Oocyst removal was evaluated with both new and aged media. The variation in performance among new media was attributed to the shape of the tested granular media and to the concentration of extractable metals on the surface of collector grains...
