| Research Abstract |
Virus removal has become big problems in water sanitation. Small treatment process with net like contact media was investigated for its virus removal ability. This study was divided into four parts ; (1) Mixing condition in disinfection process was examined, because small plant is difficult to equiped with the apparatus which can mix well disinfectant with water. It was clearly shown that inactivation of microorganisms was strongly influenced by mixing condition. (2) Virus detection method was examined. The method which can detect viruses from waters of low concentration in viruses has been developed. (3) More than 99% of viruses could be removed by the process with net like contact media under low BOD load, showing that the process studied here might be used for tertiary wastewater treatment. (4) Experiments using the model of small treatment plant in use showed that poliovirus of around 99% was removed under BOD load applied to plants treating domestic wastewater.
E. coli phage Qbeta could increase in number in the treatment process, which decrease the value of E. coli phage as indicator for virus pollution.
