The document summarizes different aspects of water treatment processes carried out by Allie, Jacob, and Alexis. It describes the steps involved including fluoridation, conditioning, aeration, coagulation, sedimentation, filtration and disinfection. It also lists different types of pollutants found in water and examples of hazardous waste as well as pictures of water treatment filters and distillation.

2. 6 Specific Water Cleanup Processes Allie Fluoridation; process uses the chemical fluoride to kill bacteria or microorganisms that may be present in the water. Conditioning; a process that is used to soften hard water Plumbo-solvency; reduction to remove the lead particles and lead salts in the water Aeration - along with pre-chlorination for removal of dissolved iron and manganese Coagulation - for flocculation Coagulant aids also known as polyelectrolytes - to improve coagulation and for thicker floc formation Sedimentation - for solids separation, that is, removal of suspended solids trapped in the floc Filtration - for removal of carried over floc Disinfection - for killing bacteria
5. Math Jacob Beginning amount- 1000 mL Ending amount- Calculation- Percent cleaned-
6. 4 Types of Hazardous Waste and Examples Allie Ignitability, Corrosivity, Reactivity, and Toxicity. Ignitability ex. Gunpowder Corrosively ex. Metal corrosion Reactivity ex. Elements that are highly Reactive Toxicity ex. Chlorine
7. Hazardous Waste We Found! Alexis Fertilizer- It is extremely toxic and is a hazard to the general public. Metal- The rust from the metal can get into the water. Paper- It could plug up the filters when the water goes through water treatment processes. Dirt- The dirt could have hazardous wastes in it such as fertilizer because it could be the runoff from farm fields.
