- 18 - ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A water purification method for removing unwanted contaminants, such as metals, H2S gas, turbidity, color and odor is provided. The process comprises first injecting a jet of pressurized air into a stream of water to obtain an air/water mixture. The air/water mixture is then introduced into a reaction vessel in which the water is supersaturated with air under pressure to effect oxidation of contaminants, such as iron, manganese and organic material and to remove dissolved H2S gas. A pre- determined volume of air is maintained above the air/water mixture in the reactor under a pressure which is above atmospheric pressure. Excess air is removed from the reaction vessel by means of a de-gassing valve in the upper part of the vessel. The method also includes passing the air/water mixture through a multi-layer filter to effect further oxidation and to filter the water. Apparatus for carrying out the method includes a reactor vessel which has a plurality of inlet jets located at an angle to the inside surface of the reactor vessel to effect the rotation of the air/water mixture when introduced into the vessel and to maintain a uniform dispersion of small air bubbles throughout the water in the reaction vessel to facilitate oxidation and removal of contaminants.
