摘要

Although arsenic contamination is generally considered to be an unintended consequence ofrngroundwater disturbance, intentional or accidental introduction into drinking water is a publicrnhealth concern. The toxicity of arsenic is directly related to its oxidation state; therefore, bothrnarsenate (As(V)) and arsenite (As(III)) need to be tracked within a water distribution system inrnorder to predict public health impacts. This paper expands upon earlier work of co-authors inrnwhich a mathematical model for the adsorption of arsenic to pipe walls in water distributionrnsystems was developed. The arsenic model predicts arsenate, arsenite, and free chlorinernconcentrations in the bulk water, and adsorbed arsenic concentrations on the pipe walls. Modelrnparameters are based on bench scale data obtained from experiments performed at EPA’s Testrnand Evaluation Facility. The bench scale experimental results along with pilot scalernexperimental data from a Distribution System Simulator (DSS) pipe loop are presented.rnThe arsenic model developed from the experimental study can be used to predict the fate andrntransport of contaminants within real-world water distribution systems. In addition, the arsenicrnmodel can be used to evaluate decontamination strategies (e.g., flushing and pH-modification)rnintended to remove arsenic from the walls of pipes or other distribution system infrastructure.rnSimulation studies on real-world networks are performed to compare flushing times, andrnlocations and to investigate the benefits of different decontamination strategies in terms of thernreduction of public health impacts. The EPANET-MSX software is used for the simulation study.rnThe value of using this modeling approach in order to plan water utility decontaminationrnactivities for a wider variety of contaminants in different water distribution networks isrndiscussed.
