excessive residual aluminum can harm human health severely
such as retaining foetus neurofibril development
leading to dementia and exhibiting dialysis osteo-dystrophy. In addition
excessive residual aluminum may have certain effect on the water distribution system. The World Health Organization and many developed countries have regulated the residual aluminum as a norm of drinking water quality and limited the respective maximum concentration level. Aluminum is present in all natural water
but the total residual aluminum in drinking water mainly comes from use of aluminum coagulants under improper operational conditions. Thus
optimizing the operational conditions or adopting other measures would reduce the total residual aluminum in drinking water.
