Treatment of 1,3-Butadiene in an Air Stream by a Biotrickling Filter and a Biofilter

ABSTRACT

This paper presents results obtained from a performance study on the biotreatment of 1,3-butadiene in an air stream using a reactor that consisted of a two-stage, in-series biotrickling filter connected with a three-stage, in-series biofilter. Slags and pig manure-based media were used as packing materials for the biotrickling filter and the biofilter, respectively. Experimental results indicated that, for the biotrickling filter portion, the butadiene elimination capacities were below 5 g/m³/hr for loadings of less than 25 g/m³/hr, and the butadiene removal efficiency was only around 17%. For the biofilter portion, the elimination capacities ranged from 10 to 107 g/m³/hr for loadings of less than 148 g/m³/hr. The average butadiene removal efficiency was 75–84% for superficial gas velocities of 53–142 m/hr and a loading range of 10–120 g/m³/hr. The elimination capacity approached a maximum of 108 g/m³/hr for a loading of 150 g/m³/hr. The elimination rates of butadiene in both the biotrickling filter and biofilter were mass-transfer controlled for influent butadiene concentrations below about 600 ppm for superficial gas velocities of 29–142 m/hr. The elimination capacity was significantly higher in the biofilter than in the biotrickling filter. This discrepancy may be attributed to the higher mass-transfer coefficient and gas-solid interfacial area offered for transferring the gaseous butadiene in the biofilter.     

坡缕石黏土污泥对水相中亚甲基蓝吸附研究

利用坡缕石黏土污泥(从木质素磺酸钠废水中得到)和酸化的坡缕石黏土(1mol/L盐酸)作为吸附剂对水相中的亚甲基蓝进行吸附研究,并利用透射电镜(TEM)、红外光谱(FT-IR)、X-射线衍射(XRD)及Zeta电位分析对两种吸附剂的结构及表面电性进行了表征.结果表明:当吸附剂用量为10mg,温度为30℃时,1mol/L盐酸酸化的坡缕石黏土最大吸附量为97.50mg/g,坡缕石黏土污泥最大吸附量为98.7mg/g.选取坡缕石黏土污泥作为最佳吸附剂,对污泥吸附亚甲基蓝的吸附等温线、吸附热力学及吸附动力学模型进行了研究,结果显示:此吸附过程为自发吸热过程,吸附等温线更符合Langmuir模型,吸附动力学符合准二级动力学模型.

小兴凯湖表层底泥磷吸附容量及潜在释放风险

利用沉积物磷吸附指数(PSI)和磷吸附饱和度(DPS)研究了小兴凯湖表层沉积物的磷吸附容量,分析了沉积物中磷的吸附饱和度(DPS)与其他指标的相关关系,并讨论了不同采样点湖泊沉积物中磷的潜在释放风险.结果表明:13个采样点的表层沉积物的PSI为9.78~197.53(mg?L)/(100g?μmol),平均值为59.77(mg?L)/(100g?μmol);DPS为9.95%~24.47%,平均值为15.41%.PSI与草酸铵提取的磷(Pox)极显著正相关,与草酸铵提取的铁、铝(Feox,Alox)显著正相关,草酸铵提取的铁是影响PSI的主导因素;DPS主要受沉积物中原有吸附态磷的影响.此外,磷释放风险指数(ERI)8.99%~129.94%的计算结果表明:小兴凯湖表层沉积物中磷释放诱发富营养化的风险处于高度风险范围,其中,受农业面源污染影响较大的北岸区域相比其他区域发生富营养化的风险更高.
