Effect of coagulation pretreatment on the fouling of ultrafiltration membrane

The purpose of this study is to understand the effect and mechanism of preventing membrane fouling, by coagulation pretreatment, in terms of fractional component and molecular weight of natural organic matter （NOM）. A relatively higher molecular weight （MW） of hydrophobic compounds was responsible for a rapid decline in the ultrafiltration flux. Coagulation could effectively remove the hydrophobic organics, resulting in the increase of flux. It was found that a lower MW of neutral hydrophilic compounds, which could remove inadequately by coagulation, was responsible for the slow declining flux. The fluxes in the filtration of coagulated water and supernatant water were compared and the results showed that a lower MW of neutral hydrophilic compounds remained in the supernatant water after coagulation could be rejected by a membrane, resulting in fouling. It was also found that the coagulated flocs could absorb neutral hydrophilic compounds effectively. Therefore, with the coagulated flocs formed on the membrane surface, the flux decline could be improved.     

Characteristic of organic aerosol in a remote area of Okinawa Island

A continuous investigation of aerosol pollutants in Cape Hedo, Japan was conducted from October 2005 to August 2006 by Aerodyne aerosol mass spectrometer (AMS). This article focused on the analysis of long-range transport of organic aerosol from continental origin to the remote island. Based on the transport distance and air mass origin, four main air mass origins were considered, including North China, South China, Japan and Korea. Although the mass concentration and air mass origin were quite different during study period, the mass spectrum and size distribution of organic matter and oxidized organics were similar, which showed uni-modal distribution with modal diameter of around 500 nm. The loss rate of organics was (5.15 ± 0.55) × 10-⁶ s-¹ obtained by plotting the concentration against the transport time. Conversion rate of SO₂ to sulfate and oxidation rate of organics were (1.07 ± 0.15) × 10-⁵ and (1.09 ± 0.52) × 10-⁶s-¹, respectively.     

Unlocked disinfection by-product formation potential upon exposure of swimming pool water to additional stimulants

• Swimming pool water was studied for DBPs upon exposure to additional stimulants. • DBP formation could be induced by residual chlorine and extended incubation. • Urine led to a massive formation of chloroform with additional stimulants. • Reactions between chlorine and anthropogenic organics were slow and long-lasting. • Urine control and air ventilation should be on the priority list for pool management. Anthropogenic organics are known to be responsible for the formation of harmful disinfection by-products (DBPs) in swimming pool water (SPW). The research explored an important scenario of SPW with no additional anthropogenic organic input. With stimulations by residual chlorine or additional chlorine and extended incubation, the formation of DBPs, especially chloroform, was significantly induced. Similar observations were found by investigating synthetic SPW made with sweat and urine. The presence of urine led to a massive formation of chloroform, as noted by an approximate 19-fold increase after 165-day incubation with a shock chlorine dose. The research suggests that consistent residual chlorine and long water retention as two typical features of SPW could unlock the DBP formation potential of anthropogenic organics. Thus, limiting the introduction of anthropogenic organics may not have an immediate effect on reducing DBP levels, because their reactions with chlorine can be slow and long-lasting. Pool management should prioritize on control of urine and improving air ventilation. This work is useful to deepen understandings about DBP formation in SPW and provide implications for pool management and prospective legislation.     

水雾协同微波脱附再生树脂吸附剂

以溶剂热法合成的聚二乙烯苯（PDVB）树脂为吸附剂,苯、甲苯、二氯甲烷为典型的非极性吸附质,对比单一微波和超声雾化水协同微波条件下树脂的脱附再生效果,考察微波功率、水雾量、吸附质种类等对树脂脱附效果的影响.结果表明,PDVB 树脂在单一微波作用下对非极性有机分子的脱附率约为50%,而在超声雾化水协同作用下,PDVB 对苯、甲苯、二氯甲烷的脱附率均可达到90%以上.同时脱附床层的温度始终保持在40℃以下,不会造成树脂高温老化,多次吸附/脱附循环再生后,树脂结构仍能保持稳定,表明在微波条件下引入超声雾化水可强化体系的微波吸收能力,实现树脂吸附剂的快速脱附再生.     

鼠李糖脂对铜绿假单胞菌降解颗粒有机质的影响

通过好氧降解实验研究了生物表面活性剂鼠李糖脂对1株铜绿假单胞菌(Pseudomonas Aeruginosa)降解颗粒有机质的影响,着重探讨了其作用方式,并与TritonX-100和SDS等2种化学表面活性剂作了对比.结果表明,浓度高于临界胶束浓度的鼠李糖脂在基质表面的等温吸附呈线性规律.鼠李糖脂在基质和微生物表面的吸附使菌体在基质表面的吸附性能减弱.鼠李糖脂和2种化学表面活性剂的物化作用使基质水分得以较长时间地保持,并加强了有机质在基质液相中的分散.在鼠李糖脂的作用下,有机质的降解从颗粒表面转移到液相,降解方式发生了改变.通过以上作用,鼠李糖脂促进了微生物的生长和有机质的降解.SDS和TritonX-100对有机质颗粒的降解也产生了一定的促进作用.
