好氧颗粒污泥强化解体实验与机理研究

在120r／min的搅拌及pH=1的强酸条件下，进行好氧颗粒污泥的强化解体实验，研究颗粒污泥的总数、平均粒径和粒径分布的变化情况。在15h实验时间内，搅拌强化解体的颗粒平均粒径从1230μm降至320μm，颗粒总数从30个／mL增至193个／mL。强酸强化解体结果类似，但解体时间为110h。搅拌比强酸对颗粒解体的强化作用更明显。粒径分布结果显示，小颗粒所占比例明显增加。颗粒解体过程中粒径分布均符合对数正态分布，但颗粒粒径的期望值石，随解体时间明显减小。根据颗粒的解体机理，即4种解体类型：破碎、破裂、剥落和研磨，结合实验结果，将解体过程分为对数期、平缓期、二次对数期和稳定期。     

连续流同步硝化反硝化(SND)体系不同HRT对脱氮及N_2O释放特性的影响

采用连续流气升环流生物反应器,考察水力停留时间(HRT)对同步硝化反硝化(SND)体系下污泥聚集状态与脱氮及N_2O释放特性影响。对不同HRT下污泥的聚集状态及脱氮特性、N_2O释放速率和来源等进行了分析。结果表明,HRT的调控对污泥聚集体的形成及状态有重要影响。HRT为14、7和4 h下,反应体系内形成了以粒径区间0.2~0.45 mm、0.6~0.9 mm和0.2 mm占优的3种的污泥聚集体体系。HRT为7 h的条件下,污泥在保持良好脱氮效果(氨氮平均去除率、总氮平均去除率及SND平均效率分别为96.7%、56.0%和60.0%)基础上,可实现N_2O减量化释放11.1%(相较于HRT为14 h的条件)。3种条件下,N_2O释放的主要来源存在差异。HRT为14 h时,N_2O主要来源于AOB反硝化,其对N_2O的贡献为异养菌反硝化的1.1倍;HRT为7 h和4 h时,N_2O主要来源于异养菌反硝化,其对N_2O的贡献分别为AOB反硝化的1.1和1.3倍。     

旋风分离器排气管最佳插入深度的实验与分析

采用实验方法考察物料特性、入口气速、排气管直径、入口截面积4种因素对排气管最佳插入深度的影响。实验结果表明,排气管的最佳插入深度主要受粉料中位粒径和粒径分布的影响,中位粒径越小,包含的小粒径颗粒越多,最佳插入深度越大,而与其他3项参数无关。另外,插入深度在最佳位置附近变化时,效率波动不大,远离最佳位置后,效率大幅下降,并且在大排气管直径,大入口条件下,效率对插入深度更为敏感。短路流和内旋流二次分离的协同作用是形成以上现象的主要原因。     

扩散荷电作用下线板式ESP中PM2.5捕集效率的数值模拟

为考察线板式静电除尘器中PM2.5颗粒的除尘性能,建立电场、颗粒动力场和流场多场耦合下的数学理论模型.采用GAMBIT软件构造ESP实体结构,将用户自定义程序UDF导入到FLUENT软件中进行数值仿真,并应用DeutsehAnderson公式计算粉尘在不同荷电机理和2种不同除尘操作参数下的除尘效率.数值结果表明,扩散荷电效应对PM2.5分级除尘效率贡献率随粒径增大非线性减小;外加工作电压越低或烟道气流速越高,扩散荷电效应对PM2.5粉尘颗粒的影响越大;在较高外加电压工况下,扩散荷电对综合效率的影响与降低一定量的烟道气流速相当.     

新型离心式脱硫塔气液两相流数值模拟

利用FLUENT软件和SIMPLE算法对新型旋流脱硫塔的气液两相流场进行了数值模拟。计算中气相采用了RSM湍流模型,颗粒相采用了Lagrange坐标系下的随机轨道模型。分析结果表明,气相流场具有强旋流特性;喷射液滴的直径、喷淋量和烟气流速影响其在塔内的分布:喷射液滴粒径越大、喷射量越小、烟气流速越大,入口段降温越少;塔体上方截面平均浓度随液滴粒径的增加而降低,随液气比的增加而增加,随烟气流速的增加会先增加至最高值然后降低。喷淋液滴在其他运行参数不变时,平均粒径范围为0.5～1 mm,会对进口烟气起到较好的净化与降温的作用,并使塔体上方喷淋液滴在截面z=4.15 m处浓度分布均匀且覆盖率高;在保证液滴粒径较小时,通过降低烟气流速或增加喷淋量可提高液滴喷淋覆盖率,使得烟气与喷淋充分接触。计算得到的气相流场分布与实测值吻合较好,证明了数学模型的合理性,为进一步优化分离器结构提供了可靠依据。     

蒸汽相变作用下不可溶PM_(10)增长性能的数值模拟

目前,对颗粒凝结增长性能的数值模拟均忽略了其碰撞效应。为了对其进行补充,在相关研究的基础上,将颗粒群平衡模型(population balance module,PBM)与欧拉多相流模型进行耦合,通过用户自定义函数(user-defined function,UDF)同时引入碰撞团聚核函数和凝结增长速率函数,采用数值模拟,分析了初始蒸汽饱和度、停留时间、初始颗粒数浓度和初始粒径对不可溶PM_(10)凝结增长性能的影响。模拟结果表明,初始蒸汽饱和度越大,颗粒凝结增长后的最终粒径越大;在一定范围内,延长停留时间,能够促进颗粒的凝结增长;初始颗粒数浓度的增大不利于颗粒的凝结增长;初始粒径越小,颗粒凝结增长性能越好,相变凝结的效果越明显。上述模拟结果与实验结果一致。     

工艺条件对磷回收过程中鸟粪石沉淀颗粒粒径的影响

在鸟粪石沉淀法回收废水中磷的过程中,鸟粪石颗粒的大小将直接影响其沉淀的速率,进而影响鸟粪石的沉淀效果和磷的回收率。本文采用激光粒度分析仪测定鸟粪石的平均粒径,详细考察在小型连续搅拌反应-沉淀磷回收装置中不同的工艺条件下鸟粪石颗粒粒径的变化规律,并结合Stokes公式计算鸟粪石颗粒在废水出口处的沉降速率,为沉淀池的设计提供参考依据。结果表明:鸟粪石的平均粒径在12～25μm之间,沉降速率在5.46×10-5～2.37×10-4m/s之间。随着反应室水力停留时间的延长,鸟粪石颗粒的粒径逐渐增大,当停留时间超过18 min时,颗粒的粒径基本不变;随着沉淀室水力停留时间的延长,鸟粪石颗粒的平均粒径缓慢增大,当停留时间超过70 min后颗粒粒径的变化不大;鸟粪石颗粒的平均粒径在一定程度上受废水中磷初始浓度变化的影响,在磷初始浓度为62～128 mg/L时颗粒的粒径变化不大,当磷浓度为496 mg/L时粒径有较大增加,此时鸟粪石颗粒的沉降速率也大幅度增加;鸟粪石颗粒的平均粒径受pH值的影响不大;随氮磷摩尔比的增大,鸟粪石颗粒的平均粒径略有增加;随镁磷摩尔比的增大,鸟粪石颗粒的平均粒径逐渐减小,沉降速率则有明显的下降。     

降雨过程对污水处理厂无机颗粒物特性及活性污泥的影响

取消初沉池的污水处理厂,粒径小于200μm细微无机颗粒物将直接进入生化池,或悬浮或沉积,进而影响生化池的运行。以山地城市某污水处理厂为例,跟踪监测了夏季2个月的6次降雨过程中旋流沉砂池进出水无机颗粒物的粒径和浓度,并同期测定了生化池活性污泥浓度以及污泥MLVSS/MLSS比值。研究发现:旱季旋流沉砂池进出、水中的无机颗粒物平均粒径分别为65.25μm及54.14μm,浓度均值分别为146 mg·L-1及128 mg·L-1,无机颗粒去除率12.33%;降雨旋流沉砂池进出、水中的无机颗粒物峰值平均粒径分别为140.48μm及94.54μm,峰值平均浓度分别为2 167 mg·L-1及1 591 mg·L-1,无机颗粒去除率26.58%;旋流沉砂池对粒径≥200μm颗粒的去除较稳定,对细微无机颗粒物的去除效率约10%。研究进一步发现,降雨中颗粒物浓度分别与雨前晴天数及平均雨强呈线性正相关关系。通过核算生化池无机颗粒物的物料平衡关系,得知研究期间生化池累积无机颗粒物总量410.25 t,其中399.45 t沉积在底部,其余悬浮于活性污泥混合液中。活性污泥MLVSS/MLSS由0.52降至0.40,MLVSS由1 410 mg·L-1降至930 mg·L-1,污泥活性下降,系统运行效能受到影响。     

基于颗粒能量耗散模型的多相网格质点法的旋风分离器模拟

提出一种配合网格质点法的能量耗散模型,考虑颗粒之间碰撞引起的能量耗散效应以描述颗粒的团聚行为。采用该模型模拟的旋风分离器颗粒流发现:较其他模型具有较高的预测精度,模拟结果与实验吻合较好,验证了耗散模型可行。旋风分离器的中心形成负压区域,而在靠近壁面处形成高压区域。气相场呈现以中心为轴同转向不同流向的双螺旋结构,大部分颗粒被夹带到壁面附近,聚集在一起,形成聚团并产生分离,模拟结果发现旋风分离器在模拟条件下的分离粒径为1×10~(-5)m。     

滇池柴河小流域暴雨径流中COD的输移特征研究

以滇池柴河小流域为单元,对暴雨径流中污染物颗粒粒径进行了分类,得出径流中COD浓度与污染物颗粒粒径的关系,并从输出源强、输移过程、汇集入河这几个方面对暴雨径流中的COD进行了从源到汇的输移特征研究,以确定暴雨径流中COD的入河负荷.结果表明,形成的暴丽径流中的大部分COD经适当沉淀(30min以上)可以有效去除,暴雨径流中的COD主要分布在粉粒和粘粒中,2场暴雨径流均在沉淀的5～30 min去除的COD最多,这部分污染物的颗粒粒径在0.008～0.020 mm,属于容易沉淀去除的部分,沉淀30 min时的COD平均去除率在52.19％,沉淀240 min左右可去除的主要为粒径在0.003～0.008 mm的污染物,沉淀240 min时的COD平均去除率在63.41％；而沉淀2 880min后仍未去除的为粒径小于0.000 8 mm的微小颗粒,仍无法去除的COD平均占23.26％；降雨强度越大,对地面的冲刷能力越强,形成的径流量更多,输出源的COD含量越高.2场暴雨径流的输出源、输移过程和最终入河的COD浓度存在一定的相关性,但由于污染物输移过程中会受各种因素影响,且本研究监测的暴雨场次有限,由此暴雨径流中COD的入河负荷影响因素还有待进一步研究.     

Assessment of transport of two polyelectrolyte-stabilized zero-valent iron nanoparticles in porous media

This study investigated the breakthrough patterns of carboxymethyl cellulose- and polyacrylic acid-stabilized zero-valent iron (Fe(0)) nanoparticles (NZVI) from packed sand columns under a range of pore water velocities of 0.02, 0.2 and 1 cm min(-1) and NZVI influent concentrations of 0.1, 0.5 and 3 g L(-1). The NZVI effluent relative concentrations of both types of particles decreased with slower flow velocities and increasing particle concentrations. PAA-NZVI exhibited slower elution from the columns than CMC-NZVI under identical experimental conditions, and this is attributed to more rapid aggregation kinetics of PAA-NZVI. The elution patterns of PAA-NZVI showed a stronger trend of gradually increasing effluent concentrations with flushing of additional pore volumes, especially at low flushing velocities and higher influent particle concentrations and this phenomenon too can be attributed to increasing aggregate sizes with time which caused decreases in the values of the single collector efficiency and thus the deposition rate constant. A 7 nm increase in CMC-NZVI aggregate size over 60 min was observed using nanoparticle tracking analysis. The reduction in colloidal stability due to aggregation of CMC- and PAA-NZVI was verified using sedimentation tests, and it was found that PAA-NZVI were less stable than CMC-NZVI. There were also notable inherent differences in the two NZVI particles. The CMC-NZVI were monodisperse with a mean diameter of 5.7 ± 0.9 nm, whereas PAA-NZVI had a bimodal particle size distribution with a small sub-population of particles with mean size of 30 ± 21 nm and a more abundant population of 4.6 ± 0.8 nm diameter particles. Furthermore, PAA-NZVI had a lower surface potential. These characteristics are also responsible for the different elution patterns CMC- and PAA-NZVI.

Particulate organic matter in the sea: the composition conundrum

As organic matter produced in the euphotic zone of the ocean sinks through the mesopelagic zone, its composition changes from one that is easily characterized by standard chromatographic techniques to one that is not. The material not identified at the molecular level is called "uncharacterized". Several processes account for this transformation of organic matter: aggregation/disaggregation of particles resulting in incorporation of older and more degraded material; recombination of organic compounds into geomacromolecules; and selective preservation of specific biomacromolecules. Furthermore, microbial activities may introduce new cell wall or other biomass material that is not easily characterized, or they may produce such material as a metabolic product. In addition, black carbon produced by combustion processes may compose a fraction of the uncharacterized organic matter, as it is not analyzed in standard biochemical techniques. Despite these poorly-defined compositional changes that hinder chemical identification, the vast majority of organic matter in sinking particles remains accessible to and is ultimately remineralized by marine microbes.     

Surface-enhanced Raman scattering of the adsorption of pesticide endosulfan on gold nanoparticles

The absorption of pesticide endosulfan on the surface of gold nanoparticles results from the formation of micrometric structures (1–10 μm) with irregular shape because of the aggregation of individual particles. Such aggregation of gold nanoparticles after absorption of pesticide shows a surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectrum, whose intensity depends on the concentration of endosulfan. In addition, the discoloration of the colloidal solution and a diminishing of the intensity of the surface plasmon resonance absorption from individual particles were observed by UV-visible spectroscopy. At the same time, a second band between 638 and 700 nm confirms the formation of aggregates of gold nanoparticles as the concentration of endosulfan increases. Finally, we used the SERS intensity of the S?O stretching vibration at 1239 cm^?1 from the SO₃ group as a measure of concentration of pesticide endosulfan. This method could be used to estimate the level of pollution in water by endosulfan in a simple and practical form.     

Influence of dissolved oxygen on aggregation kinetics of citrate-coated silver nanoparticles

Aggregation, an important environmental behavior of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) influences their bioavailability and cytotoxicity. The work studied the influence of dissolved oxygen (DO) or the redox potential on the stability of AgNPs in aqueous environments. This study employed time-resolved dynamic light scattering (TR-DLS) to investigate the aggregation kinetics of citrate-coated AgNPs. Our results demonstrated that when DO was present, the aggregation rates became much faster (e.g., 3-8 times) than those without DO. The hydrodynamic sizes of AgNPs had a linear growth within the initial 4-6 h and after the linear growth, the hydrodynamic sizes became random for AgNPs in the presence of DO, whereas in the absence of DO the hydrodynamic sizes grew smoothly and steadily. Furthermore, the effects of primary particles sizes (20, 40, and 80 nm) and initial concentrations (300 and 600 μg/L) of AgNPs on aggregation kinetics were also investigated.     

Heavy metal accumulation by recombinant mammalian metallothionein within Escherichia coli protects against elevated metal exposure

In an effort to minimize the impact on the environment or improve the properties of choice, most engineered nanoparticles used for commercial applications are surface functionalized. The release of these functionalized engineered nanoparticles (FENPs) into the environment can be either deliberate or accidental. Scientific research to date has tended to focus on evaluating the toxicity of FENPs, with less attention being given to exposure assessments or to the study of their general behavior in natural environments. We have therefore investigated the effects of environmental parameters such as pH, NaCl concentration, and natural organic matter concentration on the aggregation kinetics of FENPs with time resolved dynamic light scattering, using functionalized gold nanoparticles (FAuNPs) as a representative of these particles. We also investigated the effects of average particle size, the type of surface capping agent, and particle concentration on FAuNP aggregation kinetics. Our results show that the physico-chemical properties of the capping agent have a greater influence on the aggregation behavior of FAuNPs than either their core composition or their particle size.     

Toxicity,uptake, and accumulation of nano and bulk cerium oxide particles in <Emphasis Type="Italic">Artemia salina</Emphasis>

Although the toxicological impact of metal oxide nanoparticles has been studied for the last few decades on aquatic organisms, the exact mechanism of action is still unclear. The fate, behavior, and biological activity of nanoparticles are dependent on physicochemical factors like size, shape, surface area, and stability in the medium. This study deals with the effect of nano and bulk CeO₂ particles on marine microcrustacean, Artemia salina. The primary size was found to be 15 ± 3.5 and 582 ± 50 nm for nano and bulk CeO₂ (TEM), respectively. The colloidal stability and sedimentation assays showed rapid aggregation of bulk particles in seawater. Both the sizes of CeO₂ particles inhibited the hatching rate of brine shrimp cyst. Nano CeO₂ was found to be more toxic to A. salina (48 h LC₅₀ 38.0 mg/L) when compared to bulk CeO₂ (48 h LC₅₀ 92.2 mg/L). Nano CeO₂-treated A. salina showed higher oxidative stress (ROS) than those treated with the bulk form. The reduction in the antioxidant activity indicated an increase in oxidative stress in the cells. Higher acetylcholinesterase activity (AChE) was observed upon exposure to nano and bulk CeO₂ particles. The uptake and accumulation of CeO₂ particles were increased with respect to the concentration and particle size. Thus, the above results revealed that nano CeO₂ was more lethal to A. salina as compared to bulk particles.     

Analysis of organic and inorganic species on the surface of atmospheric aerosol using time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (TOF-SIMS)

This work explores the utility of time-of-flight static secondary-ion mass spectrometry (TOF-SIMS) for the analysis of the surface organic layer on individual atmospheric aerosol particles. The surface sensitivity and minimal fragmentation available with TOF-SIMS suggest that it can be a powerful tool for the examination of the organic and inorganic species on the surface of individual particles. Cascade impactors were used to collect aerosol from summer 2000 Montana forest fires, winter snowmobile samples in Yellowstone National Park, Hawaiian lava and sea salt, from an Asian Dust event reaching Salt Lake City, Utah in April 2001 and from Salt Lake Valley summer urban aerosol. TOF-SIMS analysis and multivariate statistical techniques combined gave chemical and morphological information about the particles. Surfaces of the aerosol from forest fires, snowmobile exhaust, and sea salt were all dominated by aliphatic hydrocarbons and their amphiphilic derivatives. Each source showed a different organic chemical signature. The extent and composition of the organics layer which typically covers the surface of atmospheric particles are expected to effect all of the surface related aerosol properties such as health effects, the ability of the particle to activate and form cloud droplets, and the aggregation of particles as well as reactions between the particle and gas phase species.     

Removal of nanoparticles from CMP wastewater by magnetic seeding aggregation

CMP wastewaters have high solids content resulted from abrasive nanoparticles. Tremendous amount of ultrapure water consumption also makes the removal of nanoparticles from CMP wastewaters an important issue. Magnetic seeding aggregation of silica nanoparticles from the oxide CMP wastewater is studied in this work. Magnetite nanoparticles were synthesized and used as seeding particles. The turbidity of the CMP wastewater was reduced from 110 NTU to 7 NTU when solution pH was 6 and no addition of salt. This is because silica and magnetite nanoparticles were highly oppositely charged and the aggregation between silica and magnetite nanoparticles was achieved by electrostatic attractions. When the seeded wastewater was placed in a magnetic field strength higher than 800 G, the turbidity of the CMP wastewater was reduced to 1 NTU, which was clearer than the CMP wastewater treated by many other technologies.     

聚合氯化铝混凝强化新生态铁锰复合氧化物吸附去除水中的磷

采用氧化-共沉淀法制备出新生态铁锰复合氧化物(FMBO),研究了单独投加FMBO和聚合氯化铝(PACl)强化FMBO吸附除磷效能及吸附磷后的颗粒物特性。结果表明,单独投加FMBO后形成的颗粒物表面带负电荷,颗粒物聚集和沉淀性能较差。PACl的投加降低了颗粒物的表面电荷,促进了颗粒物的聚集,平均粒径明显增加,改善了颗粒物的沉淀性能;通过SEM-EDAX发现,投加PACl形成的复合颗粒物表面更为粗糙,Al元素在复合颗粒物表面相对富集。PACl的投加强化了FMBO的吸附除磷效果,在实验原水条件下FMBO和PACl最佳投量分别为12和30 mg/L,此时TDP去除率高达95.6%。并且出水中Fe、Mn、Al浓度均远低于《地表水环境质量标准》中规定的限值。PACl强化新生态FMBO易于实现原位投加,在水体和水处理除磷工艺中具有较好的应用潜力。
