pac_toc: Calculate DOC Concentration in PAC system
Description
Calculates DOC concentration multiple linear regression model found in 2-METHYLISOBORNEOL AND NATURAL ORGANIC MATTER
ADSORPTION BY POWDERED ACTIVATED CARBON by HYUKJIN CHO (2007)
Required arguments include an object of class "water"
created by define_water initial DOC concentration, amount of PAC added to system, contact time with PAC, type of PAC
water must contain DOC or TOC value.
Usage
pac_toc(water, dose, time, type = "bituminous")
Value
A water class object with updated DOC, TOC, and UV254 slots.
Arguments
water
Source water object of class "water" created by define_water
dose
Applied PAC dose (mg/L). Model results are valid for doses concentrations between 5 and 30 mg/L.
time
Contact time (minutes). Model results are valid for reaction times between 10 and 1440 minutes
type
Type of PAC applied, either "bituminous", "lignite", "wood".
Details
The function will calculate DOC concentration by PAC adsorption in drinking water treatment.
UV254 concentrations are predicted based on a linear relationship with DOC.
