Performance evaluation of a completely stirred anaerobic reactor treating pig manure at a low range of mesophilic conditions

Many Chinese biogas plants run in the lower range of mesophilic conditions. This study evaluated the performance of a completely stirred anaerobic reactor treating pig manure at different temperatures (20, 28 and 38 °C). The start-up phase of the reactor at 20 °C was very long and extremely poor performance was observed with increasing organic loading rate (OLR). At an OLR of 4.3 g ODM L^?1 d^?1, methane production at 28 °C was comparable (3% less) with that at 38 °C, but the risk of acidification was high at 28 °C. At low OLR (1.3 g ODM L^?1 d^?1), the biogas process appeared stable at 28 °C and gave same methane yields as compared to the reactor operating at 38 °C. The estimated sludge yield at 28 °C was 0.065 g VSS g^?1 COD_removed, which was higher than that at 38 °C (0.016 g VSS g^?1 COD_removed).

光合微生物燃料电池处理餐厨沼液的性能研究

采用小球藻作为双室光合藻微生物燃料电池（PAMFC）的阴极以提供电子受体,实现污水处理和能量回收的双重目的.研究生物阴极接种方式和光照条件对生物产电性能和餐厨沼液废水处理效果的影响,并通过循环伏安法（CV）研究PAMFC电极极化和产电机制.结果表明：微藻生物膜阴极PAMFC污染物去除和产电性能表现优于对照组,COD,TN和TP去除率最高可达82.4%,54.5%和82.3%,开路电压和最大功率密度分别达603.0mV和41.5mW/m².污染物去除主要在阳极发生,但阴极能够还原去除来自阳极的铵根离子,且阴极反应产生氧气作为阳极的电子受体,增大系统电流,提高了阳极处理效率.持续光照下,PAMFC产电性能和污染物去除率略高于间歇光照,但是间歇光照可以避免阳极基质不足时阴极光饱和和氧饱和情况,更符合连续运行要求.PAMFC阴极的CV曲线显示,具有微藻阴极的实验组输出电压更大,还原峰更高,功率密度更强,但需注意长期运行时微藻生物膜增厚影响氧传质效率的问题.

介绍了水力空化作用机理,研究了水力空化作用对褐煤水煤浆粘度的影响,探讨了空化后浆体内存在气泡的形态及影响关系。试验结果表明:水力空化处理后的水煤浆浆体流动性变好,水煤浆的粘度特性已由假塑性流体变成了类似牛顿流体;速度梯度为100 s-1时的粘度指标由320 mPa·s提高到340 mPa·s,速度梯度为30 s-1时的粘度指标由420 mPa·s提高到850 mPa·s,30μm以下的细粒级含量明显高于空化前粒级的含量;水力空化作用在水煤浆中引入了大量不易消失的圆形微细气泡,气泡的占位作用提高了水煤浆粘度和稳定性,微细气泡的布朗运动破坏了颗粒之间的静电力吸附,圆形微细气泡成为水煤浆浆体流动过程中的润滑剂并改善水煤浆流变性能。     

Characteristics of Iron Ore Tailing Slime in India and Its Test for Required Pond Size

The physical and chemical nature of the tailingslime depends on milling operations and water contentin the effluent. The characteristics of the tailingsdictate the type of disposal facility required.Characteristics of the tailings, transportation frombeneficiation plants and disposal system are described.Studies on tailing slime have been carried out at ironore mines in Orissa and the results are discussed. Thetailings contain toxic elements and find their wayinto the water environment. Sedimentation test was carriedout on tailings and the area required for tailing pondwas found to be 3155 m² in comparison to10 000 m² obtained from the use of an empiricalequation. Provision of tailing pond for the disposalof tailings is a conservation of resources in additionto pollution control, and sedimentation test is essentialfor required pond size calculation.

Concentrations of additive arsenic in Beijing pig feeds and the residues in pig manure

The swine industry in China has grown rapidly over last two decades. Great amount of pig manure is generated in China, which can be used as organic fertilizers on agricultural lands. Meanwhile, the organic arsenic compounds have been used as feed additives for swine disease control and weight improvement. Once the excessive additives are released in the environment, arsenic may compromise food safety and environmental quality. There is a growing public concern about the arsenic residues accumulation in pig manure, however, little work has been done to investigate the exact arsenic content in pig feed and the residues in manure in China This study investigates the concentrations of arsenic in 29 pig feed samples and 29 manure samples collected from eight pig farms in the Chaoyang district, Beijing city. The detected rate of arsenic in 29 couples of samples was 100%. The concentrations of arsenic in pig feeds and manures ranged from 0.15 to 37.8 mg/kg and 0.42 to 119.0 mg/kg, respectively. The result showed that arsenic concentration in pig manure will be greatly elevated when the arsenic in pig feed was largely increased. The loading rates of pig manure in fourteen Beijing counties and districts were in the range of 2.7–57.2 t/ha yr. Accordingly, the potential soil arsenic increase rates resulting from land application of pig manure might range between 11.8 and 78.9 μg/kg yr. Despite these findings, it is too early to draw the conclusion that arsenic pollution from pig manure is serious in Beijing farmland; therefore, longitudinal studies about the chemical form transformation and the environmental behaviors of pig manure arsenic are required in order to come up with more definitive conclusions.

Removal of congo red dye from water using carbon slurry waste

A cheaper adsorbent has been prepared from carbon slurry waste obtained from National Fertilizer Limited (NFL), Panipat and investigated for the removal of congo red, an anionic dye. Its adsorption on prepared carbonaceous adsorbent was studied as a function of contact time, concentration and temperature. The results have shown that carbonaceous adsorbent adsorbs dye to a sufficient extent (272 mg g^-1). A comparative study of adsorption results with those obtained on activated charcoal shows that the carbonaceous adsorbent is ~95% efficient as compared to activated charcoal. Thus, it can be fruitfully used for the removal of dyes from wastewaters.This work has been presented at the National Symposium on Biochemical Sciences: Health and Environmental Aspects (BSHEA—2003), Agra, India (2003).
