Abstract

A series of tests were performed with a view to solving the problem of chromium pollution in the Meulan district near Paris, due to the proximity of long-established metal-working plants. It was found that the accumulated pollution not only originated from the groundwater source but also from atmospheric contamination through fall-out from smoke and fumes issuing from local metal-works' stacks. Among the interesting features of this paper is the fact that, since the profound penetration by the pollutant affects potable feedstock, chromium removal studies have been made on potable water for the first time on record. Several methods are reviewed, among which the only economically feasible one appears to be the reduction of hexavalent chromium by a sufficient quantity of iron sulphate, the problem attached to iron-sulphate overdose being solved by the application of high-rate filtration on very fine sand. This arrests the fine precipitates and reduces the residual ferrous-iron by catalysis. Reliability of the treatment is ensured by a system of continuous metering that automatically controls reagent dosing.
