water quality summary

Physical water-quality parameters Physical parameters define those characteristics of water that respond to the senses of sight, touch, taste, or smell. Suspended solids, turbidity, color, taste and odor, and temperature fall into this category. 1) Suspended solid Solids can be dispersed in water in both suspended and dissolved forms. Although some dissolved solids may be perceived by the physical senses, they fall more appropriately under the category of chemical parameters and will be discussed more fully in a later section. Sources Solids suspended in water may consist of inorganic or organic particles of of immiscible(not mixed) liquids. Inorganic solids such as clay, silt and other soil constituents are common in surface water. Organic material such as plant fibers and biological solids(algal cells, bateria,etc) are also common constituents of surface waters. These material is seldom a constituent of groundwater. Other suspended material may result from human use of the water, Domestic waste water usually contains large quantities of suspended solids that are mostly organic in nature. Industrial use of water may result in a wide variety of suspended impurities of either organic or inorganic nature. Immiscible liquids such as oils and greases are often constituents of waste water. Impacts Suspended material may be objectionable in water of several reasons. It is aesthetically displeasing and provides adsorption sites for chemical and biological agents. Suspended organic solids may be degraded biologically, resulting in objectionable by-products. Biologically active (live) suspended solids may include disease-causing organisms as well as organisms such as toxin-producting strains of algae. Measurement There are several tests available for measuring solids. Most are gravimetric tests involving the mass of residues. The total solids test quantifies all the solids in the water, suspened and dissoloved, organic and inorganic. This parameter is measured by evaporating a sample to drynesss and weighting the residue. The total quantity of residue is expressed as milligrams per liter(mg/L) on a dry-mass-of-solids basis. A drying temperature slightly above boiling temperature(104 deg. C) is sufficient to drive off the liquid and the water absorbed to the surface of the particles, while a temperature of about 180 deg. C is necessary to evaporate the occluded water. Most suspended solids can be removed from water by filtration. Thus, the suspended fraction of the solids in a water sample can be approximated by filtering the water, drying the residue and filter to a constant weight at 104 deg. C (+/- 1) and determining the mass of the residue retained on the filter. The results of this suspened solids test are also expressed as dry mass per volume(milligram per liter). The amount of dissolved solids passing through the filters, also expressed as milligrams per liter, is the difference between the total-solid and suspened soild content of a water sample. It should be emphasized that filtration of a water sample does not exactly divide the solids into suspended and dissolved solids fractions according to the definitions presented eariler. Some colloids may pass through the filter and be measured along with the dissolved solids absorb to the filter materials. The extent to which this occurs depends on the size and nature of the solids and on the pore size and surface characteristics of the filter material. For this reason, the terms filterable residues and nonfilterable residues are often used. Filterable residues pass through the filter along with the water and relate more closely to dissolved solids. While nonfilterable residues are retained on the filter and relate more closely to suspened solids. "Filterable residues" and "non-filterable residues" are terms more frequently used in laboratory analysis while the dissolved solids and suspened soilids are terms more frequently used in water-quality-management practice. For most practical applications, the distinction between the two is not necessary. Once samples have been dried and mesaured, the organic content of both total and suspened solids can be

water quality summary

determined by firing the residues at 600 deg. C for 1 hour. The toral organic fraction of the residues will be converted to carbon dioxide, water vapor, and other gased and will escape. The remaining material will represent the inorganic, or fixed, residue. When organic suspened solids are being measured, a filter made of glass fiber or some other material that will not decompose at the elevated temperature must be used. The following example illustrates the calculations involved in suspened solids analysis. ex1) Determining the concentration of suspended solids A fiterable residue analysis is run on a sample of water as follows. Prior to filtering , the crucible and fitler pad are kept overnight in the drying oven, cooled, and the dry mass(tare mass) of the pair determined to be 54.352 g . Two hundred and fifty milliliter of the sample is drawn through a filter pad contained in the porousbottom crucible. The crucible and fiter pad are then placed in a drying oven at 104 deg. C and dried until a constant mass of 54.389 g is reached. Determine the suspened solids concentration of the sample. Solution) 1. Determine the mass of solids removed. Tare mass + solids = 54.389 Tare mass = 54.352 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Mass of solids = 0.037 g = 37 mg 2. Determine the concentration of the solids mg solids x 1000 ml/l --------------------------------------------------= ml of sample

conc in mg/l

37 x 1000 ---------------------------------------------------= 148.00 mg/l 250 Suspended solids, where such material is likely to be organic and/or biological in nature, are an improtant parameter of waset water. The suspended solids parameters is used to measure the quality of the wastewater influent, to monitor several treatment processes, and to measure the quality of the effuent. EPA has set a maximum suspended-solids standard of 30 mg/l for most treated wastewater discharges. 2) Turbidity A direct measurement of suspended solids is not usually preformed on samples from natural bodies of water or on potable water supplies. The nature of the solids in these waters and the secondary effects they produce are more important than the actual quantity. For such waters a test for turbidity is commmly used. Turbidity is a measure of the extent to which light is either absorbed or scattered by suspended material in water. Because absorption and scattering are influenced by size and surface characteristics of the suspended materials, turbidity is not a direct quantitive measurement of suspended solids. For example, one small pebble in a galss of water would produce virtually no turbidity. If this pebble were crushed into thousands of particles of collodal size, a measurable turbidity would result, even though the mass of solids had not changed. Sources Most turbidity in surface water results from the erosion of collodial material such as clay, silt,rock fragments, and metal oxides from the soil. Vegetable fibers and microorganisms may also contribute to turbidity. Household and industrial wastewaters may contain a wide variety of turbidity-producing material. Soaps, detergents, and emulsifying agents produce stable colloids that result in turbidity. Although turbidity measurements are not commonly run on wastewater, discharges of wastewater may increase the turbidity of

water quality summary

natural bodies of water. Impacts When turbid water in a small, transparent container, such as a drinking glass, is held up to the light, an aesthetically displeasing opaqueness or milky coloration is apparent. The colloidal material associated with turbidity provides absorbtion sites for chemicals that may be harmful or cause undesirable tastes and odors and for biological organisms that may be harmful . Disinfection of turbid waters is difficult because of the absorptive characteristics of some colloids and because the solids may partially shield organism from the disinfectant. In natural water bodies, turbidity may impart a brown or other color to water,depending on the light-absorbing properties of the solids, and may interfere with light penetration and photosynthetic reactions in streams and lakes. Accumulation of turbidity-causing particles in porous streambeds results in sediment deposits that can adversely affect the flora and fauna of the stream. Measurement Turbidity is measured photometrically by determining the percentage of light of a given intensity that is either absorbed or scattered. The original measuring apparatus, called a jacson turbidimeter, was based on light absorption and employed a long tube and standardized candle. the candle was placed beneath the glass tube that was then housed in a black metal sheath so that the light from the candle could only be seen from above the apparatus. The water sample was then pours slowly into the tube until the lighted candle was no longer visible, I.e., complete absorption has occured. The glass tube calibrated with readings for turbidity produced by suspensions of silica dioxide (SiO2) with one jackson turbidity unit(JTU) being equal to the turbidity produced by 1 mg SiO2 in l L of distilled water. In recent years this awkward apparatus has been replaced by a turbidity meter in which a standardized electric bulb produces a light that is then directed through a small sample vial. In absorption mode, a photometer measure the light intensity on the side of the vial opposite from the light source, while in the scattering mode, a photometer measures the light intensity at a 90 angle form the light source. Although most turbidity meters in use today work on scattering principle, turbidity caused by dark substances that absorb rather than reflect light should be measured by the absorption technique. Formazin, a chemical compound, provides more reproducible standards than SiO2 and has replaced it as a reference. Turbidity meter readings are now expressed as formain turbidity units, or FTUs, The nephelometry turbidity units(NTU) is often used to indicate that the test was run according to the scattering principle. Use Turbidity measurements are normally made on "clean" waters as opposed to wastewaters. Natural waters may have turbidities ranging from a few FTUs to several hundred. EPA drinking-water standards specify a maximum of 1 FTU, while the American water Works Association has set 0.1 FTU as its goal for drinking water. 3) Color Pure water is colorless but water in nature is often colored by foregin substances. Water whose color is partly due to suspended matter is said to have apparent color. Color contributed by dissolved solids that remain after removal of suspended matter is known as true color. Sources After contact with organic debris such as levels, conifer needless, weeds, or wood, water picks up tannins humic acid, and humates and takes on yellowish-brown hues, Iron oxides cause reddish water, and manganese oxides cause brown or paper production, food processing, chemical production, and mining, refining and slaughterhouse operations may add substaintial coloration to water in receiving streams. Impacts Colored water is not aesthetically acceptable to the general public. In fact, given a choice, consumers tend to choose clear, noncolored water of otherwise poorer quality over treated potable water supplies with an objectable color. Highly colored water is unsuitable or laundering, dyeing, papermaking, beverage manufacturing, dairy produection and other food processing and textile and plastic production. Thus, the color of water affects its marketability for both domestic and industrial use.

10

water quality summary

While true color is not usually considered unsanitary or unsafe, the organic compounds causing true color may exert a chlorine demand and thereby seriously reduce the effectiveness of chlorine as a disinfectant. Perhaps more important are the products formed by the combination of chlorine with some color-producing organics. Phenolic compounds, common constituents of vegetative decay products, produce very objectable taste and odor compounds with chroline. Additionally, some compounds of naturally occuring organic acids and chlorine are either known to be, or are suspected of being, carcinogens(cancer-causing agents). Measurement Althrough several methods of color measurement are avialable, methods involving comparison with standardized colored materials are most often used. Color- comparison tubes containing a series of standards may be used for direct comparison of water samples that have been filtered to remove apparent color. Results are expressed in true color units(TCUs) where one unit is equivalent to the color produced by 1 mg/L of platinum in the form of chlorplatinate ions. For colors other than yellowish-brown hues, especially for colored waters originating from industrial waste effluents, special spectrophotometric techniques are usually employed. In fieldwork, instruments employing colored glass disks that are calibrated to the color standards are often used. Because biological and physical changes occurring storage may effect color. samples should be tested within 72 h of collection. Use Color is not a parameter usually included in wastewater analysis. In potable water analysis, the common practice is measure only the true color produced by organic acid resulting from decaying vegetation in the water. The resulting value can be taken as an indirect measurement of humic substances in the water. 4) Taste and Odor The terms and odor are themselves definitive of this parameter. Because the sensations of taste and smell are closely related and often confused, a wide variety of tastes and odors may be attributed to water by consumers. Substances that produce an odor in water will almost invariably impart a taste as well. The converse is not ture, as there are many mineral substances that produced taste but no odor. Sources Many substances with which water comes into contact in nature or during human use may impart perceptible taste and odor. These include minerals, metals , and salts from the soil, end products from biological reactions, and constituents of wastewater. Inorganic substances are more likely to produce tastes unaccompanied by odor. Alkaline material imparts a bitter taste to water, while metallic salts may give a salty or bitter taste. Organic material, on the other hand, is likely to produce both taste and odor. A multitude of organic chemicals may cause taste and odor problems in water, with petroleum-based products being prime offenders. Biological decomposition of organics may also result in taste-and odor-products liquids and gases in water. Principle among these are the reduced products of sulfur that impart a " rotten egg" taste and odor. Also, certain species of algae secrete an oily substance that may result in both taste and odor. The combination of two or more substances, neither of which would produce taste or odor by itselt, may sometimes result in taste and odor problems. This synergistic effect was noted earlier in the case of organics and chlorine. Impacts Consumers find taste and odor aesthetically displeasing for obvious reasons. Because water is thought of as tasteless and odorless, the consumer associates taste and odor with contamination and may prefer to use a tasteless, odorless water that might actually pose more of a health threat. And odors produced by organic substances may pose more than a problem of simple aesthetics, since some of those substances may be carcinogenic. Measurement

11

water quality summary

Direct measurement of materials that produce taste and odors can be made if the causative agents are known. Several types of analysis are available for measuring taste-producing inorganics. Measurement of taste- and odor-causing organics can be made using gas or liquid chromatography. Because chromatorgraphic analysis is time-consuming and required expensive equipment. it is not routinely performed on water samples, but should be done if problem organics are suspected. However, because of the synergism noted earlier, qnantifying the sources does not necessarily quantify the nature or intensity of taste and odor. Quantitive tests that employ the human senses of taste and smell can be used for this purpose. An example is test for the threshold odor number(TON). varying amounts of odorous water are poured into containers and diluted with enough odor-free distilled water to make a 200-ml mixture. An assembled panel of five to ten noses is used to determine the mixture in which the odor is just barely detectable to the sense of smell. The TON of that sample is then calculated using the formula. A+B TON = --------------(2-1) A Where A is the volume of odorous water (mL) and B is the volume of odor-free water required to produce a 200 -mL mixture. Threshold odor numbers corresponding to various sample volumes are shown in Table 2-2. A similar test can be used to quantify taste, or the panel can simply rate the water qualitatively on an " acceptability" scale. Table 2-2 Threshold odor numbers corresponding to sample volume diluted to 200 mL Sample volume(A) mL 200 175 150 125 100 75 67 50 40 25 10 2 1 TON 1 1.1 1.3 1.6 2 2.7 3 4 5 8 20 100 200

Use Although odors can be a problem with wastewater, the taste and odor parameter is only associated with potable water. EPA does not have a maximum standard for TON. A maximum TON of 3 has been recommended by the Public Health Service and serves as a guideline rather than a legal standard.[2-18] 2-6. Temperature Temperature is not used to evaluate directly either potable water or wastewater. It is, however, one of the most important paramters in natural surface-water systems. The temperature of surface waters governs to a large extent the biological species present and their rates of activity. Temperature has an effect on most chemical reactions that occur in natural water systems. Temperature also has a pronounced effect on the solubilities of gases in water.

Sources The temperature of natural water system responds to many factors. the ambient temperature(temperature of the surrounding atmosphere being the most universal. Generally, shallow bodies of water are more affected by ambient temperature than are deeper bodies. The use of water for dissipation of waste heat in industry and the subsequent dischage of the heated water may result in dramatic, though perhaps localized, temperature changes in receiving streams, Removal of forest canopies and irrigation return flows can also result in increased stream temperature.

12

water quality summary

Impacts Cooler waters ususally have a wider diversity of biological species. At lower temperatures, the rate of biological activity, I.e, utilization of food supplies, growth, reproduction, etc., is slower. If the temperature is increased, biological activity increases. An increase of 10 deg. C is usually sufficient to double the biological activity,if essential nutrients are present. At elevated temperature increased metabolic rates, organisms that are more efficient at food utilization and reproduction flourish, while other species decline and are perhaps eliminated altogether. Accelerated growth of algae often occurs in warm water and can become a problem when cells cluster into algae mats. Natural secretion of oils by algae in the mats and the decay products of dead algae cells can result in taste and odor problems. Higher-order species, such as fish, are a function of temperature. Game fish generally require cooler temperature and higher dissolved-oxygen levels. Temperature changes affect the reaction rates and solubility. levels of chemicals, a subject more fully explored in later sections of this cha Most chemical reactions involving dissolution of solids are accerated by increased temperatures. The solubility of gases, on the other hand, decreases at elevated temperature. Because biological oxidation of organics in streams and impoundments is dependant on an aduquate supply of dissolved oxygen. decrease in oxygen solubility is undesirable. The relationship between temperature and dissolved oxygen levels is shown in Table C-3 of the appendix. Chemical water-quality Parameters Water has been called the universal solvent, and chemical parameters are related to the solvent capabilities of water Total dissloved solid, Alkalinity, hardness, fluorides, metals, organics, and nutrients are chemical parameters of concern in water quality management. The following review of some basic chemistry related to solutions should be helpful in understanding subsequent discussion of chemical parameters. 2-7 chemistry of solutions An atom is the smallest unit of each of the elements. Atom are building blocks from which molecules of elements and compounds are constructed. For instance, two hydrogen atoms combine to form a molecule of hydrogen gas. H+H = H2 Adding one atom of oxygen to the hydrogen molecule results in one molecule of the compound water. A relative mass has been assigned to a single atom of each element based on a mass of 12 for carbon. The sum of the atomic mass of hydrogen is 1 and the atomic mass of oxygen is 16. Thus the molecular mass of the hydrogen is 2 and the molecular mass of water is 18. A mole of an element or compound is its molecular mass expressed in common mass units, usually grams. A mole of hydrogen is 2 g, while a mole of water is 18 g. One mole of a substance dissolved in sufficient water to make one lilter of solution is called a one molar solution. Bonding of elements into compounds is sometimes accomplished by electrical forces resulting from transferred electrons. When these compounds dissociate in water, they produce species with opposite charges. An example is sodium chloride. NaCl = Na+ + ClThe charged species are called ions, Positively charged ions are called cations, and negatively charged ions are called anions. The number of positive charges must equal the number of negative charges to preserve electrical neutrality in a chemical compound. The number of charges on an ion is refered to as the valence of that ion.
