Humic color is¥¥?/span>
?Color, which results from humic substances being hard to be removed by normal water purifying (coagulating sedimentation, filtration, iron and manganese removal), is common in ground and river water. ?Humic substances? is a generic name of dark brown organic in soil, being common in wide area of forest country in Japan, because it is ascribed as the cause that a microbe biodegrades primeval plant components. Since colored humic substances are in a few nm of size, relatively high molecular weight, it is difficult to remove it by physical filtration and also needs very high oxidizing power for oxidative decomposition.
Radicallite UC3/SC3
?Radicallite UC3/SC3 are particular filter media developed for humic color removal. They act as catalysts for oxidizing reaction that a chlorine-based oxidizer such as Sodium hypochlorite (NaClO) generates strong oxidative O-radical (nascent oxygen) in water. This O-radical which has oxidizing properties breaks the bonding of humic chromophore and auxochrome, and that reduces color.
* No generation of sludge.
* Ease of routine maintenance.
* Simultaneous removal of coexistent manganese ion.
* Easy adoption to existing equipment.
* Less backwashing intervals.
* erformance retention with annual replenishment.
?Color regulated by quality standard for drinking water is 5 degrees maximum. Humic color is common all over Japan, but in case of 8 degrees or more of colored raw water and water quality fluctuation concerned, especially common in Kanto, Tohoku, Hokkaido regions, we recommend to use Radicallite UC3. In case of removing a little bit of raw water color (e.g. reducing a few degrees), we recommend to use Radicallite SC3. It is recommendable to do a verification test for selecting suitable filter media. Should you need further assistance, please contact us.
Note: Radicallite UC3/SC3 are not intended for removal of artificial pigment such as dye waste water.
