Accumulation and releasing of trace metal elements on aluminum containing sediments of inner drinking water pipe is discussed, as studied from five variations effecting: raw water quality, chemical reagents, solution pH and drinking water flow condition . In order to decrease the release of trace metal elements, and to ensure the pipe operation and human safety, water quality adjustment is suggested to avoid aluminum containing sediments formation in drinking distribution system. The maximum amounts of accumulation of common trace metal elements are given. Future trends of development in this field are also proposed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
