Grading: the weight proportion of particles of various particle sizes
Operation of quick filter
Changes in effluent quality and head loss of rapid filter tanks
Initial filtered water: When filtration is resumed after backwashing in the rapid filter tank, the effluent turbidity is high.
Maturity period: the duration of initial water filtration
Effective filtration period: After the turbidity of the initially filtered water drops to the required value, it enters the effective period.
Leakage turbidity: During the effective filtration period, until the effluent turbidity rises to equal the required value, the leakage point is reached, and the corresponding turbidity value is called leakage turbidity.
Water quality cycle: The period from when the filter enters the effective filtration period until the turbidity of the effluent reaches the leakage value is called the water quality cycle.
Pressure cycle: As the clarification and filtration process proceeds, the head loss h of the filter layer gradually increases. When it reaches the maximum value, the filter layer needs to be backwashed.
Filtration head: refers to the difference between the highest water level of the water before filtration and the water level after filtration.
Water quality cycle ≥ pressure cycle, optimal when equal
Optimization of filter layer in fast filter
Hydraulic grading phenomenon: Hydraulic grading of the filter material will occur when the uneven filter material filter layer is backwashed in the filter tank.
negative head
Reason: When the filter reaches the point where the upper fine filter material filter layer is seriously blocked, the water head loss increases sharply. At this time, the pressure of part of the filter layer is lower than the atmospheric pressure.

Disinfection effect: ozone > chlorine dioxide > chlorine > chlorine ammonia
Disinfectant stability: chlorine ammonia > chlorine > chlorine dioxide > ozone
Mutational activity of disinfected water: chlorine > chlorine ammonia > chlorine dioxide > ozone
Disinfection cost: Ozone ≈ chlorine dioxide > chlorine > chlorine ammonia
