Abstract
It has been suggested that the condensed phosphate compounds of synthetic detergents might find their way through sewage treatment plants and surface waters and into water supply intakes. Since STP and TSPP are known to possess inherent peptizing and deflocculating properties, their presence in water supplies could conceivably produce interferences with normal coagulation and sedimentation operations in conventional water treatment processes. The studies reported in this paper are concerned with: (a) the concentrations of condensed phosphates found in sewage effluents and in surface waters in Illinois, and (b) the persistence of condensed phosphate compounds in natural waters.
