Abstract: The study presents the results of measurement of particle size distribution in suspensions contained in spent filter backwash water obtained from the Groundwater Treatment Plant in Golędzinów. Spent filter backwash water samples were collected in three test series during the backwashing of iron and manganese removal filters, during the period from the 20th of August, 2013 to the 6th of March, 2014. Granulometric composition was determined by means of Mastersizer 2000 laser granulometer. The tests have proven that during the backwashing of filters the particle size distribution in suspensions was subject to changes. In terms of volume, particles of a size of 1-100 μm were dominant in the suspension, while in quantitative terms – particles of a size of 0.1-1 μm. Additionally, for the manganese removal filter higher particle size values were obtained in all stages of backwashing than for the iron removal filter.
