Particle properties in granular activated carbon filter during drinking water treatment

The elemental composition and bacteria attached in particles were investigated during granular activated carbon (GAC) filtration.The experimental results showed that trapped influent particles could form new,larger particles on GAC surface.The sloughing of individuals off GAC surface caused an increase in effluent particles in the size range from 5 to 25 μm.The selectivity for element removal in GAC filters caused an increasing proportion of metallic elements in the effluent particles.The distribution of molar ratio indicated a complicated composition for large particles,involving organic and inorganic substances.The organic proportion accounted for 40% of total carbon attached to the particles.Compared with dissolved carbon,there was potential for the formation of trihalomethanes by organic carbon attached to particles,especially for those with size larger than 10 μm.The pure carbon energy spectrum was found only in the GAC effluent and the size distribution of carbon fines was mainly above 10 μm.The larger carbon fines provided more space for bacterial colonization and stronger protection for attached bacteria against disinfection.The residual attached bacteria after chorine disinfection was increased to 10 2-10 3 CFU/mL within 24 hours at 25°C.     

GAC-石英砂滤池处理高氨氮原水的生产研究

以广州市珠江流溪河下游为水源,采用GAC-石英砂滤池处理沉淀池出水,研究了该工艺对枯水期高氨氮原水的去除规律及其影响因素。结果表明:GAC-石英砂滤池滤与普通砂滤池相比氨氮的去除显著提高,滤后水氨氮平均值为2.08mg/L,去除量约为1.0mg/L,去除率为33.8%。研究显示氨氮处理效果受余氯的灭菌作用、溶解氧不足、原水水质下降、pH值不足、活性炭滤料吸附性能下降、空床接触时间短、反冲洗周期与强度的影响。建议降低前投氯而加强后投氯量,同时使用无氯水进行反冲洗;保持滤后水溶解氧在2～4mg/L且pH值7.5;延长反冲洗周期至36h;适当降低运行负荷可提高GAC-石英砂滤池对氨氮的去除效果。

曝气生物滤池的短程硝化特性

通过控制进水pH值实现曝气生物滤池的短程硝化。工艺运行结果表明,对于进水pH值为8.22~8.57,NH4+-N平均容积负荷为0.5 kg/(m3.d),水温为17.5~20.2℃,曝气生物滤池溶解氧质量浓度平均为4.5 mg/L的条件下能够同步实现95%的NH4+-N去除率和80%的NO2--N积累率。通过分析FA和FNA沿滤池高度的变化特征,发现滤池底部(0~5 cm)区域短程硝化反应主要由FA控制,中部(5~15 cm)区域是由FA和FNA共同掌控;而上部区域(15~50 cm)则是由FNA控制,FNA沿滤池高度的快速增加是确保工艺实现稳定亚硝酸盐积累的重要原因。     

沸石滤料曝气生物滤池的挂膜启动研究

采用沸石滤料曝气生物滤池（ZBAF）,对微污染水源水预处理的挂膜启动进行研究。试验结果表明：挂膜过程中CODMn和氨氮的去除率提高不同步,好氧异养菌的增殖速度较快,硝化菌增殖较慢;ZBAF对氨氮具有很好的去除效果,去除率高达90%以上。启动初期对氨氮的去除以离子交换作用为主,末期以硝化作用为主,CODMn的去除一直处于不稳定状态,故对于ZBAF应以氨氮的硝化去除率达到稳定作为挂膜成熟的标志,而不以氨氮总去除率及CODMn去除率作为标志。

试验采用三级(好氧/兼氧/好氧)多层组合填料生物滴滤池处理模拟生活污水,探索强化脱氮除磷工艺。考察了在相同水力负荷和布水周期下,改变进水有机负荷对COD、NH_4~+-N、TN和TP去除率的影响,并用扫描电镜和X射线衍射(XRD)对填料进行辅助分析。研究结果表明,三级串联生物滴滤池的组合相比传统的单级或两级生物滴滤池反应器处理效果更好。第1级和第2级生物滴滤池去除COD、NH_4~+-N和TN效果较好,贡献率合计分别为93.0%、91.2%和91.4%。第1级和第3级生物滴滤池除磷效果较好,贡献率合计91.4%。有机负荷为0.328~0.392 kg/(m~3·d)时,系统总体去除效果最好。     

Fe-Ce/GAC催化臭氧降解高浓度腐殖酸废水

采用浸渍焙烧法制备了Fe-Ce/GAC催化剂,并用于催化臭氧降解模拟高浓度腐殖酸废水.以废水COD、腐殖酸浓度为考察指标,研究了Fe-Ce/GAC催化剂的前驱体无机铁盐种类、焙烧温度、铁盐浓度、助剂稀土元素种类及浓度、分散剂硝酸钾浓度等不同制备条件对催化臭氧降解腐殖酸的效果.试验表明,在腐殖酸浓度为3.00 g·L~(-1)、pH值约8.0、温度为25℃、臭氧投量为1.24 g·h~(-1),反应40 min后COD、腐殖酸去除率仅为17.1%、43.0%;添加以2.0%硝酸铁、1.5%硝酸铈、1.0%硝酸钾溶液浸渍,经350℃焙烧3 h后制备的Fe-Ce/GAC催化剂,可使COD、腐殖酸去除率分别提高40.3%、31.8%.且Fe-Ce/GAC催化剂具有较好的稳定性,重复使用5次后,COD、腐殖酸去除率仅小幅降低了4.2%、9.1%.SEM图象显示活性炭经改性后,比表面积明显增大,有利于活性物质的负载;EDS分析表明催化剂负载了大量的Fe、Ce等金属物质;XRD图谱显示催化剂含有Fe_2O_3、CeO_2等多种活性物质.Fe-Ce/GAC催化臭氧的机理可解释为:活性成分氧化铁在催化过程中生成的羟基氧化铁会促进羟基自由基的生成,而铈元素在催化过程中不仅会提高催化剂的活性,而且生成的化学吸附氧可促进对有机物的吸附及氧化.     

Minimization of the formation of disinfection by-products

The drinking water industry is required to minimize DBPs levels while ensuring adequate disinfection. In this study, efficient and appropriate treatment scheme for the reduction of disinfection by-product (DBPs) formation in drinking water containing natural organic matter has been established. This was carried out by the investigation of different treatment schemes consisting of enhanced coagulation, sedimentation, disinfection by using chlorine dioxide/ozone, filtration by sand filter, or granular activated carbon (GAC). Bench scale treatment schemes were applied on actual samples from different selected sites to identify the best conditions for the treatment of water. Samples were collected from effluent of each step in the treatment train in order to analyze pH, UV absorbance at 254 nm (UVA₂₅₄), specific UV absorbance at 254 nm (SUVA₂₅₄), dissolved organic carbon (DOC), haloacetic acids (HAAs) and trihalomethanes (THMs). The obtained results indicated that using pre-ozonation/enhanced coagulation/activated carbon filtration treatment train appears to be the most effective method for reducing DBPs precursors in drinking water treatment.
