Water Treatment Processes Using Anthracite: Anthracite is a type of natural material used in water treatment. It is a form of combustible mineral coal and has many advantages, as it is known for its ability to absorb organic and chemical substances from water, which improves water quality and makes it clean and suitable for use.

Before using it in the water treatment process an analysis of the target water must be carried out and the system must be properly designed to ensure the effectiveness of the process.

Water Treatment Processes Using Anthracite

1- Chlorine Removal: It is used to remove chlorine and chloramine from water, as anthracite absorbs these substances from the water.

2- Removal of Organic Compounds: This is done by anthracite absorbing the natural and synthetic organic substances in the water. This enhances the water’s quality by reducing its taste and odor and improving its appearance.

3- Purification of Surface Water: Such as river and seawater, anthracite is used to treat it by removing impurities and pollutants.

4- Heavy Metal Removal:  Anthracite can be used to absorb heavy metals from water, such as lead and mercury.

5- Wastewater Treatment: It can remove pollutants and impurities from wastewater, thus contributing to its treatment.
