1、Designation:D203513Standard Practice forCoagulation-Flocculation Jar Test of Water1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D2035;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parent
2、heses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This practice covers a general procedure for the evalu-ation of a treatment to reduce dissolved,suspended,colloidal,and nonsettleable matter from water by
3、chemical coagulation-flocculation,followed by gravity settling.The procedure maybe used to evaluate color,turbidity,and hardness reduction.1.2 The practice provides a systematic evaluation of thevariables normally encountered in the coagulation-flocculationprocess.1.3 The values stated in SI units a
4、re to be regarded asstandard.1.4 This standard does not purport to address the safetyconcerns,if any,associated with its use.It is the responsibilityof the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety andhealth practices and determine the applicability of regulatorylimitations prior to use.

7、toachieve optimum results.The primary variables to be investi-gated using the recommended practice include,but are notlimited to:4.1.1 Chemical additives,4.1.2 pH,4.1.3 Temperature,and4.1.4 Order of addition and mixing conditions.5.Significance and Use5.1 This practice permits the evaluation of vari
8、ous coagu-lants and coagulant aids used in the treatment of water andwaste water for the same water and the same experimentalconditions.5.2 The effects of concentration of the coagulants andcoagulant aids and their order of addition can also be evaluatedby this practice.6.Interferences6.1 There are
9、some possible interferences that may make thedetermination of optimum jar test conditions difficult.Theseinclude the following:6.1.1 Temperature Change(During Test)Thermal or con-vection currents may occur,interfering with the settling ofcoagulated particles.This can be prevented by temperaturecontr
10、ol.6.1.2 Gas Release(During Test)Flotation of coagulatedfloc may occur due to gas bubble formation caused bymechanical agitator,temperature increase or chemical reaction.6.1.3 Testing-Period Biological activity or other factorsmay alter the coagulation characteristics of water upon pro-longed standi
11、ng.For this reason the period between samplingand testing should be kept to a minimum,with the time beingrecorded.7.Apparatus7.1 Multiple Stirrer A multiposition stirrer with continu-ous speed variation from about 20 to 150 rpm should be used.The stirring paddles should be of light gage corrosion-re
