Impact of dynamic distribution of floc particles on flocculation effect

Polyaluminum chloride (PAC) was used as coagulant and suspended particles in kaolin water. Online instruments including turbidimeter and particle counter were used to monitor the flocculation process. An evaluation model for demonstrating the impact on the flocculation effect was established based on the multiple linear regression analysis method. The parameter of the index weight of channels quantitatively described how the variation of floc particle population in different size ranges cause the decrement of turbidity. The study showed that the floc particles in different size ranges contributed differently to the decrement of turbidity and that the index weight of channel could excellently indicate the impact degree of floc particles dynamic distribution on flocculation effect. Therefore, the parameter may significantly benefit the development of coagulation and sedimentation techniques as well as the optimal coagulant selection.     

不同条件的底泥回流对强化絮凝的影响

为探究不同条件的回流底泥对絮凝强化的影响,采用智能光谱散射分析仪（IPDA）对絮凝过程进行连续监测。通过分析出水浊度和絮体生长曲线,考察了底泥投加量、存放时间和底泥pH对底泥强化作用的影响。结果表明:底泥投加量对于絮体生长FI值（絮凝指数）影响不大,回流单倍底泥时,出水浊度降至1.3 NTU,较常规絮凝下降38%;底泥存放时间越长,絮体生长FI值越小,存放时间<3 d的底泥可保证出水浊度维持在2.0以下;底泥pH为3.0时,出水浊度低至1.2 NTU,酸处理后的底泥,其絮体生长变化曲线不稳定,FI值呈明显震荡波动趋势。回流单倍底泥时,底泥能够强化絮凝的去浊能力,絮体颗粒保持较大尺寸。底泥形成24 h内回流,絮体颗粒之间产生的相互作用力最大,能保持底泥的最大活性。过高或过低的底泥pH导致絮凝效果变差,最适宜的底泥pH为3.0左右。     

引入分形维数的混凝动力学方程数值求解

运用Smoluchowskj基本原理,建立了引入絮凝体分形维数的混凝动力学模型.该模型在絮凝过程中考虑了不同时刻形成的絮凝体中引入的初始颗粒数目和空隙率,并以此来推求不同时刻形成的絮凝体所对应的分形维数.采用有限差分法对建立的混凝动力学模型进行了数值计算.结果表明,初始颗粒的结构特征和碰撞效率是影响絮凝体粒径分布的主要因素.初始颗粒的分形维数和碰撞效率越大,絮凝体粒径分布越宽泛,大尺寸的颗粒所占的份额越多.同时计算结果表明,絮凝体的分形维数有随其粒径增大而逐渐降低的趋势,其原因是絮凝体的成长粒径与絮凝体中所包含的初始颗粒增长速度不成比例.以腐殖酸为混凝对象,采用硫酸铝作为混凝剂进行混凝实验,并以其初始絮凝条件作为数值计算初始条件,研究表明数值计算分析结果和模拟结果吻合较好.     

引入分形维数的絮体粒径分布规律及其守恒关系

采用显微摄影技术,通过混凝实验分析了腐植酸絮凝体的粒径分布规律.结果表明,腐植酸絮体的粒径呈现对数正态分布.从混凝动力学基本方程出发,考虑到腐植酸絮体构造的不规则性(分形维数),分析了颗粒数量、颗粒平均体积和标准偏差之间存在的守恒关系,该守恒关系可以大大简化基本方程的求解,更简便地预测混凝过程中絮体的粒径分布.     

腐殖酸絮凝体形成过程中初期搅拌条件对其形态结构的影响

以腐殖酸为研究对象,采用硫酸铝为混凝剂进行混凝杯罐实验,借助PDA在线监测系统、图像解析法及粒子图像测速技术分析评价絮凝体的构造特征,着重探讨了混凝过程中初期快速搅拌条件对絮凝体形态结构的影响.结果表明,快速搅拌条件对腐殖酸絮凝体的形成过程及形态结构有着显著影响.最佳快速搅拌条件为:搅拌历时l min,搅拌强度300 r·min-,此时形成的絮凝体结构密实,抗剪切能力强,整体性能最优,絮凝体分形维数、强度及平均粒径分别为1.8842、0.164 N·m-2、0.43 mm.腐殖酸絮凝体的形成包括不溶性微粒的产生及初期颗粒的形成与结合等过程,其中,不溶性微粒的形成及初期颗粒的致密化过程是决定最终絮凝体形态构造的重要环节,而快速搅拌条件影响着混凝剂扩散混合效果和初期颗粒的形成速率与致密化程度,这也是初期快速搅拌条件对于腐殖酸混凝过程有显著影响的一个重要因素.     

壳聚糖助凝对PAC混凝过程的影响

利用小角度激光光散射研究阳离子有机高分子絮凝剂的絮体粒径和絮体结构

利用小角度激光光散射在线监测技术研究了不同阳离子有机高分子絮凝剂对带负电荷的高岭土颗粒体系的絮凝动力学和絮体结构.对于高电荷密度的聚二甲基二烯丙基氯化铵(PDADMAC),由于分子量低其初始絮凝反应速度较慢,最终形成的絮体也较小.絮凝过程中,其絮体结构发生重组和排列,分形维数从1.83升高到2.09,所形成的絮体密实.对于低电荷密度的2种阳离子聚丙烯酰胺(CPAM),因其分子量大投药量高,絮凝反应速度较快;但其絮体的分形维数较小且在絮凝反应中基本保持不变,形成的絮体结构开放和松散.基于有机高分子对高岭土体系浊度和zeta电位的影响,结合絮凝动力学和絮体结构分析,结果表明,PDADMAC絮凝机理是电中和作用,而随着分子量的增加和电荷密度的降低,CPAM则主要通过吸附架桥作用产生絮凝.     

混合条件对氢氧化镁混凝性能及絮体特性影响

以氢氧化镁作为混凝剂,不同浊度高岭土水样为研究对象,运用iPDA在线监测技术,探求了混合条件对絮体特性和混凝过程的影响;结果表明:快速搅拌转速增大到250 r/min,絮凝效果最好,继续增大,效果变差;随着快速搅拌时间延长到60 s时,絮凝效果逐渐变好,继续延长时间,R值变小絮体细碎;加入超声时,产生的超声振动和冲击力使得絮体被冲击碎,絮凝效果变差;慢速搅拌转速增大至60 r/min时,絮凝效果逐渐变好,再继续延长R值变小。     

The influence of particle size and concentration combined with pH on coagulation mechanisms

In order to evaluate the influence of particle size and particle concentration on the coagulation process, two kinds of particle suspensions, nanoparticles and microparticles,were employed to investigate the effect of particle size on coagulation mechanisms with varying coagulation parameters. Results showed that it is easier for nanoparticles to cause self-aggregation because of Brownian motion, while interception and sedimentation are the mainly physical processes affecting particle transport for microparticles, so they are more stable and disperse more easily. The particle size distribution and particle concentration had distinct influence on the coagulation mechanisms. Under neutral conditions, as the amount of coagulant increased, the coagulation mechanism for nanoparticles changed from charge neutralization to sweep flocculation and the nanoparticles became destabilized, re-stabilized and again destabilized. For microparticles, although the coagulation mechanism was the same as that of nanoparticles, the increased rate of aluminum hydroxide precipitation exceeded the adsorption of incipiently formed soluble alum species, resulting in the disappearance of the re-stabilization zone. Under acidic conditions, Brownian motion dominates for nanoparticles at low particle concentrations, while sweep flocculation is predominant at high particle concentrations. As for microparticles, charge neutralization and sweep flocculation are the mechanisms for low and high particle concentrations respectively.Under alkaline condition, although the mechanisms for both nano-and microparticles are the same, the morphology of flocs and the kinetics of floc formation are different. At low particle concentrations, nanoparticles have larger growth rate and final size of flocs, while at high particle concentrations, nanoparticles have higher fractal dimension and recovery factors.     

壳聚糖接枝三元共聚阳离子絮凝剂对高岭土悬浊液的絮凝特性

采用烧杯混凝实验研究了壳聚糖(CTS)、CTS与丙烯酰胺和丙烯酸乙酯季铵盐三元接枝共聚阳离子絮凝剂(CAS)对高岭土悬浊液的絮凝特性.结果表明,CAS具有比CTS絮凝效果好、用量少、pH值适用范围广等优点.CAS絮凝效能受胶体颗粒性质的影响小,对自来水和蒸馏水配置的高岭土悬浊液均具有较好的絮凝效能.中性条件下,CAS的最佳投加量仅为CTS的1/10.在pH值2.0-11.0范围内,CAA对浊度的去除率在95%左右.CAS投加量与原水浊度的关系为:投加量低于0.5nag·L-1时,絮凝效果随原水浊度的升高降低;投加量大于0.5 mg·L-1,浊度去除率随原水浊度的增大而提高;投加量超过1.0 mg·L-1后,对浊度(10～160 NTU)的悬浊;液浊度去除率均在85%以上.悬浮颗粒聚集状态的变化分析、颗粒ξ电位测定、絮体粒径分布测定及其形态结构的观察结果表明,电性中和、吸附架桥是CAS的主要絮凝作用机理,絮凝过程是多种机制共同起作用的动态变化过程.     

絮体破碎过程的仿真及试验分析

为深入探讨絮体成长特征及其结构改善途径,借助一种简化的破碎模式对絮体破碎过程进行计算机仿真,并将仿真结果用于分析不同水动力学条件下破碎后再形成时絮体粒度和结构的演变过程.结果表明,与远离质心的区域内颗粒重组相比,絮体致密性主要取决于其质心附近颗粒的空间分布;絮体破碎后生成粒度较小但结构较为致密的碎片,在适宜的水动力学条件下有利于颗粒进入其内部或者均匀地排列在其周围,实现质心附近颗粒的重组,进而改善絮体结构.此外,还建立了絮体分形生长模型,并对絮凝工艺的操作提出优化建议.     

Effects of humic acid on recoverability and fractal structure of alum-kaolin flocs

Particle surface characteristics, floc recoverability and fractal structure of alum-kaolin flocs were investigated using in situ particle image velocimetry (PIV) and microbalance with or without humic acid. Experimental results indicated that the zeta potential of kaolin particle surface after adsorption of humic acid was related with humic acid concentration and its acid-base bu ering capacity. Adsorption of humic acid resulted in more negative electrophoresis on the particle surface. Coagulant dosages for particles to form flocs would increase with increasing humic concentration. PIV was used to evaluate floc structural fragmentation, floc surface erosion as well as recoverability after high shear. It was found that the floc size during the steady phase of growth was small, while the regrowing capability decreased in the presence of humic acid. The recoverability was closely related with floc breakage modes including floc structural fragmentation and floc surface erosion. The fractal dimensions of alum-kaolin flocs by mass-size method based on microbalance would decrease with increasing humic concentration. This study proved that humic acid had adverse influences on the performance of coagulation process.     

细砂比例对均匀级配石英砂滤料过滤性能的影响

石英砂过滤是去除水中颗粒物最常用的技术,其中均匀级配滤料因纳污能力较强、过滤周期较长而得到广泛应用。但目前工程设计标准中对均匀级配滤料的有效粒径（d₁₀）和均匀系数（K₆₀）的界定较为宽泛,为进一步探明滤料组成对均匀级配滤料过滤性能的影响,通过中试试验考察了不同比例细砂（<0.9,0.9~1.0 mm）的2种均匀级配滤料滤柱的除浊效果和运行特性,并采用不同表面电位和粒径的粉末活性炭作为示踪颗粒,研究2种滤料对颗粒物的截留特性。结果表明:与细砂比例较低（16%）的滤料相比,细砂比例较高（29%）的滤料出水浊度低0.2 NTU左右,滤柱水头损失平均增长速率高8.7%~31.6%、滤层含泥率高12%~27%,以滤后水浊度为控制指标时运行周期长7 h;颗粒物截留方面,2种滤料对颗粒物的截留均随着颗粒表面电负性增大和粒径减小而降低,其中细砂比例较高的滤料对颗粒物的截留受颗粒性质影响较小,表现出更稳定的截留效果。因此,适当提高均匀级配石英砂滤料中细砂比例虽然使过滤水头损失略有增加,但能获得更低的出水浊度和更稳定的颗粒物截留效果。     

原子力显微镜分析聚二甲基二烯丙基铵盐的吸附和絮凝行为:反离子的影响

通过对聚二甲基二烯丙基氯化铵(PDADMAC)改性得到了高分子量的聚二甲基二烯丙基硝酸铵(PDADMANO₃)和聚二甲基二烯丙基硫酸铵(PDADMASO₄).通过电导率,比浓粘度,原子力显微镜,以及高岭土悬浊液絮凝试验的残余浊度,Zeta电位和絮凝指数,研究了一价阴离子(Cl^-,ON₃^-)和二价阴离子(SO₄^2-)对聚二甲基二烯丙基铵盐(PDADMAX)的溶液性质、吸附的结构与形貌和絮凝性能的影响.结果表明:不同的反离子对PDADMAX的溶液性质、吸附的结构与形貌和絮凝性能有显著影响.PDADMANO₃具有更高的絮凝效率和“电中和作用”,而PDADMASO₄具有更宽的最佳絮凝范围和更大的絮体粒径,及更强的“吸附架桥作用”.特别对于聚电解质的吸附和絮凝机理的研究,单个高分子的原子力显微镜图象是一种非常有效地分析方法.

Advanced lignin-acrylamide water treatment agent by pulp and paper industrial sludge：Synthesis, properties and application

A novel flocculant LA （lignin-acrylamide polymer）, which was used as aid for aluminum sulfate and polyaluminum chloride in this study, was prepared by grafting acrylamide onto lignin that deriving from pulp and papermaking sludge. Physicochemical properties of LA were measured by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The experimental outcome indicated acrylamide was grafted onto the lignin backbone successfully. The effects of LA addition were evaluated on coagulation performance and floc characteristics as a function of aluminum （Al） dosage, such as floc size, growth rate, strength and recoverability. Effects of different dosing sequences, Al dosed first and LA dosed first, were also investigated. LA used as coagulant aid markedly enhanced the removal efficiency of turbidity and dissolved organic carbon, especially at low Al dosages. The dissolved organic carbon removal efficiencies of aluminum sulfate and polyaluminum chloride at the Al dosage range selected in this study were improved more than 30% and 5% by LA, respectively. LA dramatically enlarged floc size and it was in the order： Al dosed first 〉 LA dosed first 〉 Al. Floc strength and recoverability were also improved by LA. LA played a significant role in charge neutralization, adsorption and bridging in floc formation.     

Speciation characterization and coagulation of poly-silica-ferric-chloride：The role of hydrolyzed Fe（Ⅲ） and silica interaction

The highly e cient inorganic polymer flocculants (IPFs) of the ferric-silica system is a new and promising coagulant. Interactions between ferric species and silica play a large part in the coagulation of suspensions. These e ects are quite distinct from those associated with polymeric or colloid silica. However, although these species are key to coagulation e ciency, they have not been comprehensively discussed. A new type of coagulant, poly-silica-ferric-chloride (PFSC), was synthesized by co-polymerization and characterized by time complexation spectroscopy and photon correlation spectroscopy. Compared with traditional ferric salt, the results indicated that PFSC had a higher molecular weight, lesser positive charge, lower Feb and higher Fec. The higher the Si/Fe ratio, the higher the silica and lower the silicac found. The PFSC with appropriate polysilica acid not only obtained better coagulation/flocculation e ciency in turbidity removal, enhanced the flocculation index (FI) and provided less residual ferric, it also lowered water treatment costs compared to traditional ferric salt. Results showed that PFSC could remove colloid particles in water by charge neutralization and sweeping, adsorption bridging mechanism.
