WAYS FOR SUCCESSFUL REMOVAL OF IRON FROM GROUNDWATER
In one of my previous posts, I explained explicitly what and
what can cause groundwater to be contaminated with Iron, the quantity of Iron
(in ppm) that is considered harmful to the body.
In this post, we will be taking a look on how best to remove
Iron from groundwater.
WAYS OF REMOVING IRON
FROM GROUNDWATER
The best and easiest way out of this quagmire is to look for
an alternative water source. But there may be instances where there may be no
alternative source of water! In this situation, one has no choice than to face
it squarely.

The easiest removal technique is by aeration and
then filtration. After aeration, the rusts become suspended (precipitated) and
then are filtered out.
ü
The second method is by oxidation using
Potassium Permanganate (KMnO4) or Chlorine dioxide (ClO2).
There is however a lot of water treatment plants designed
for this. The manual for this plant should be properly read and understood
before use for optimal result.
