Abstract

Aim: The study was carried out to synthesis of the main characteristics of iron in groundwater and the oxidation process used to remove it.

Method and Materials: Kinetics of chemical oxidation of iron (II) was examined with reconstituted water (distilled water + iron sulphate) and proceeded to the application in the groundwater samples taken from South Pout precisely in the drilling PS2.

Results: The sources of iron were found natural or anthropogenic. In Senegalese waters, its content was variable and sometimes exceeded the standards of potability. Despite the diversification of iron removal process, chemical oxidation was found most used solution in drinking water treatment plants in Senegalese rural areas. Applied oxidation process such as aeration and chlorination, however, was found insufficient to produce drinking water with iron concentration in accordance with standards of potability.

Conclusion: It was concluded three oxidants, two of which were marketed for their potential iron (II) removal, were tested: oxygen (O2), potassium permanganate (KMnO4), sodium hypochlorite (NaClO).
