摘要
The use of metallic iron filters (Fe-0 filters) has been discussed as a promising low-cost option for safe drinking water production at household level Filter clogging due to the volumetric expansive nature of iron corrosion has been identified as the major problem of Fe-0 filters Mixing Fe-0 and sand (yielding Fe-0/sand filters) has been proposed as a tool to extent filter service life However no systematic discussion rationalizing Fe-0/sand mixtures is yet available This communication theoretically discussed suitable Fe-0/sand proportions for efficient filters Results suggested that Fe-0/sand filters should not contain more that 50 vol% Fe-0 (25 wt% when Fe-0 is mixed with quartz) The actual Fe percentage in a filter will depend on its intrinsic reactivity
