“…Their characterization confirmed their potential to be used as filtration media [11], since the equivalent diameter, the uniformity coefficient, the porosity and the permeability were in the ranges 0.09-0.14 mm, 1.57-2.60, 38-57% and 0.13-0.41 m/h respectively, showing that sand size can be characterized as thin to medium. Physicochemical (Table 1) and chemical (Table 2) characterization of the sand of dunes showed that the characteristics of all the considered quarries were close to those reported in the available literature [8,9,12,13].…”

ab s t r ac tA pilot plant involving a septic pit followed by sand filtration was used to treat urban wastewater in the south of Algeria. Experiments carried out in triplicates simultaneously in three identical pilot plants showed the feasibility of the process, since BOD 5 , COD and SS removals remained above 70% over 2.5 months of the experiment. The permeability of Sahara sand of dune allows therefore its use for water biofiltration; however an additional drainage should be considered to avoid salt problems. The next objective is the process validation on an industrial scale.

“…To date, sand bed filters have been used as a low-cost effective alternative to conventional septic tank/soil adsorption systems for domestic waste [26,27]. The performance of sand bed filters is influenced by numerous factors, which include bio-augmentation, media depth, grain size distribution, mineral composition of media, pre-treatment, wastewater composition and nutrient concentration, hydraulic and organic loading rates, temperature and dosing techniques [28].…”

“…Traditionally, treatment by infiltration is a method for tertiary treatment of sewage, and as a method of secondary treatment of industrial wastewater [17]. But because of its hardiness, it is available for the treatment of primary wastewater in Africa, where, more often, waters are released untreated into the natural environment [18].…”

International audienceAs preventive of possible environmental nuisances that can cause discharges water in nature, we undertook this study of the influence of salinity wastewater on the treatment efficiency of a biological filter consisting of dune sand. In this work, we designed six identical columns of filtration with sand from the same region of the N’Goussa city (located in the southeast of Algeria). The filters used are fed with wastewater at six different total salinity rates ranging from 0.065% to 0.265% corresponding to the electrical conductivity of 0.85 mS/cm to 3.5 mS/cm. This filtration efficiency was assessed by monitoring changes in the conductivity and the overall pH of the treated water and the chemical oxygen demand (COD). The results obtained showed that the change in the salinity of sewage water has a negative effect on the degradation of organic matter. Indeed, over the salt content is high, over the effectiveness of the biological treatment is reduced, suggesting in this type of case a prior desalination system and tests are under way in our laborator
