Filter Uses in Stormwater Process

The process of removing suspended solids from the stormwater by passing the water through a bed of porous media consisting of sand or soil is called filtration. Copper zinc water filtration is a high-purity. The Water filtration process is that which relies on the redox potential of dissolved oxygen in the water in the presence of a zinc anode rays and copper cathode rays. It uses dissolved impurities within the water as a constituent substrate, which are reduced to more physiologically inert compounds. Due to inherent limitations in bactericidal and antiprotozoal activity and poor filtration of organic chemicals copper-zinc water filters are not commonly used in the household setting unless combined with carbon-based systems.

 They also have applications in the industrial setting to extend the life of carbon-based filtration systems for wastewater effluent. Zinc acts as an anode and copper as a cathode in an electrolytic cell in the zinc filtration process. Ionic contaminants are removed by electron exchange (a redox reaction), in which they are converted to a more physiologically inert form. This redox reaction generates an electric potential of about 300mV, which may be responsible for the partial antimicrobial effect, along with hydroxyl radicals that form during the process.

In copper-zinc water filtration methods, KDF is certified to the NSF International Standard 61 for water treatment plant applications. The process can remove chlorine, hydrogen sulfide, heavy metals, iron, and can reduce certain inorganic contaminants. The filter also inhibits the growth of algae, fungi, and bacteria to an extent. Copper zinc filtration has been used in municipal processing, and the treatment of medical and dental wastewater, as well as for industrial effluents. They can be a component of whole home water filtration systems at the point of entry or online with showerheads or sink heads at point of use, as they remove many forms of dissolved chlorine and are effective at higher temperatures.
