Abstract

The El-Ismailia canal is constructed in the years of 1858~1863 to supply drinking water to the villages on the Suez Canal zones and to the during digging the Suez Canal Navigation Route. The El-Ismailia canal extending eastward for about 125 km from the River Nile at Shupra, north of Cairo, to El-Ismailia city on the Suez Canal. The El-Ismailia canal is the principle source of drinking water supply for a great number of the Egyptian citizens(about 12 million inhabitants), including those living in northern part of Cairo, Shupra El- Kheima, Mattaria, Musturod, Abu-Zabal, Inchas, Bilbeis, Abbasa, Abu-Hammad, Zagazeeg and El-Tell El-Kabier, before entering the Suez Canal Province.
There are many treatment methods for contaminated sites such as preceptation, chemical oxidation or reduction, filtration, ion exchange and memberane technologies, have been used to get rid of the pollutants. Biological methods-bioremoval-such as biosorption, bioaccumulation and /or other methods for the removal of pollution especially heavy metals may provide attractive alternative methods.
The present study carriedout with the following points:
I-Efficacy of Biological treatment of water as alternative chemical treatment.
II-Physico-chemical characteristics of water samples(Air and water temperature,pH ,Turbidity, Dissolved oxygen ,Biological oxygen demand ,…..etc.)
III-Microbiological analysis(Total viable bacterial count at 22 and 37°C,Total coilform , Faecal coilform ,Total streptococci , Faecal streptococci ,…..etc.)
IV-Isolation, purification and Identification of the most talent isolate used for biological treatment.
V-Biological treatment with a nanocomposite material.

28- Statically analysis of water sample of El-Ismailia canal. laboratory experiment to show how micro organisms in water play an important role in water purification of artificially polluted water by CuSO4 .5H2O or Fe SO4 .5H2O or Ni2O2 compounds ; concentration versus time of aeration .
29- Biological treatment is defined as the process where by wastes are biologically degraded under controlled conditions to an innocuous state, or to levels below concentration limits established by regulatory authorities. Biological treatment is the use of living organisms, primarily microorganisms to degrade the environmental contaminants into less toxic forms. In the present study a physico-biological treatment is used to enhance the biotreatment. Nanocomposite used in the biotreatment plays an important role in adsorbing both organic and /or in organic matter dissolved in water besides the adsorption of microorganisms ( natural flora ) in water .The microorganism and other pollutants physical adsorbed on Nan- composite granules results in the formation of the biofilm . The bioreaction of microorganism accumulated on the Nan composites in the presence of continuous aeration lead to the pollutants compounds oxidation
Recommend of thesis
The results of this study recommend that is to use the safe biological treatment rather than chemical methods used in the treatment of drinking water, which led to the deterioration of the overall health of humans and animals.
