高锰酸钾预氧化并复合高岭土与聚合氯化铝(PAC)絮凝去除水中颤藻

采用高锰酸钾预氧化复合高岭士与聚合氯化铝(PAC)混凝,对去除水中颤藻进行了研究.通过正交试验得出了在试验水质条件下,颤藻去除最佳条件为:高锰酸钾投加量为0.5mg·l~(-1),预氧化时间为15min,PAc投加量为2.5mg·l~(-1),粒径为160目的高岭土投加量为50mg·l~(-1).在此条件下,高锰酸钾可氧化颤藻失活但并没有破坏藻细胞壁,防止了藻毒素的释放.预氧化产生的水合二氧化锰作为凝结核促进了絮体的形成,并使之更加密实、易沉降,且沉降后藻絮体不再上浮,提高了处理后的水质.     

聚合氯化铝与黏土的改性对富营养水体磷和蓝藻的同步去除

为了解决富营养化水体原位除藻、除磷同步安全进行的问题,采用黏土(凹凸棒土,AT)与聚合氯化铝(PAC)的复合改性,研究了原料本身(AT、PAC)、原料直接复配(AT+PAC)与复配后再改性处理(PHAT)之间的除磷与除藻效果、铝离子与氯离子的残留风险,并对其中的机理进行了初步探讨.结果表明,改性的PHAT和PAC除磷效率高,总磷去除率可达99.14%±0.31%,显著优于AT+PAC,但PHAT的成本仅为PAC的71.10%.PAC去除无机磷(IP)和可溶性总磷(DTP)的效果更优,PHAT去除有机磷(OP)和颗粒态磷(PP)的效果更优.投加PHAT后水体Al3+和Cl-残留量均符合国家饮用水标准.PHAT对蓝藻的去除率显著高于PAC和AT+PAC,去除率可达97.15%±1.35%,且对低密度蓝藻和高密度蓝藻的去除率差异不显著.比表面积测定结果显示,来源于PHAT中的AT比来源于AT+PAC中的AT单点比表面积提高了19.10%,孔表面积提高了11.13%.且来源于PHAT中的AT在处理富营养化水体前、后的Al含量明显减少.这些结果表明,由黏土结构的优化与络合沉淀的协同所增强的架桥网捕作用可能是PHAT更高效除磷、除藻的原因.     

淀粉改性絮凝剂与PAC复合絮凝发制品废水性能研究:小试和中试

发制品在生产过程中产生大量废水,一般首先通过混凝/絮凝预处理去除废水中大部分悬浮胶体颗粒及少量可溶性物质.本研究中,设计并合成了两种含有强阳离子季铵盐基团的淀粉改性絮凝剂,分别是基团位于主链的3-氯-2-羟丙基三甲基氯化铵改性淀粉(St-CTA-DQ)和基团位于侧链的淀粉接枝聚甲基丙烯酰氧乙基三甲基氯化铵(St-g-PDMC-DQ).将它们分别在小试和中试规模下与聚合氯化铝(PAC)复合絮凝发制品废水,重点考察了复合絮凝中无机混凝剂与高分子絮凝剂的投加顺序与投加量等因素影响.实验室小试结果表明,先加PAC再加改性淀粉絮凝剂的絮凝工艺效果明显优于先加高分子絮凝剂再加PAC及两者同时加入的絮凝工艺;当与两种淀粉改性絮凝剂分别复合使用时,St-CTA-DQ与St-g-PDMC-DQ投加量分别为:10 mg·L~(-1)和20 mg·L~(-1),PAC的最佳投加量(90 mg·L~(-1))相比其单独使用(190 mg·L~(-1))下降一半以上;且复合絮凝对于浊度和UV_(254)的去除效果明显增强;形成的絮体尺寸更大,结构也更为密实;中试实验结果基本与小试一致.这是因为除了PAC电中和作用外,加入的阳离子高分子絮凝剂同时具有混凝和絮凝双重功能,能够进一步通过电中和与黏结架桥作用去除废水中污染物与初级絮体.同时还比较了上述两种阳离子淀粉改性絮凝剂不同结构对其絮凝性能影响,阳离子基团位于主链的St-CTA-DQ具有更佳的絮凝性能.淀粉改性絮凝剂与PAC复合使用在发制品废水处理中拥有良好的应用前景.

不同有机体系的混凝特征研究:以硫酸铝为例

选择牛血清蛋白和腐殖酸作为实验对象,考察了硫酸铝投加量和p H对两种有机体系有机物去除率、电荷性质以及絮体性质(粒径分布、分形维数和沉降性)的影响.实验结果发现,硫酸铝混凝对腐殖酸的去除效率要高于BSA,当硫酸铝投加量为5 mmol·L-1时,两种体系中DOC的去除率均达到最高.电中和在腐殖酸的混凝去除过程中占主导地位,而吸附架桥是BSA去除的主要机理.对于两种有机体系,随着硫酸铝投加量的升高,絮体粒径逐渐减小,而分形维数增大.相比腐殖酸体系,BSA混凝形成絮体粒径大但分形维数更小,同时絮体沉降性较差.此外,两种体系中DOC去除率在p H值等于6时均达到最高.同时,当p H值从5上升到9的过程中,BSA体系粒径逐渐增加;而在腐殖酸体系中,在p H值小于6时,絮体成长平衡时间延长,同时平衡后絮体粒径要明显大于p H值大于7条件下形成的絮体.

Treatment of dye‐containing wastewater by sequencing batch reactor with powdered activated carbon addition

The process involving the combination of powdered activated carbon (PAC) and biomass in the aeration basin of conventional continuous‐flow activated sludge system, known as the PACT process, has proven to be effective for treating toxic pollutants present in industrial wastewaters. In view of the many advantages of sequencing batch reactors (SBR) operationally, the objective of this study is to evaluate the PACT process under SBR operation to treat wastewater containing Acid Blue 25 (AR) and Basic Yellow 2 dyes (BR). The SBR systems were operated with FILL, REACT, SETTLE and DRAW periods in the ratio of 0.25:3.75: 1.0:1.0 for a cycle time of 6 h. The average COD and AR removal efficiencies were 89% and 93%, respectively with PAC addition compared to 76% and 7%, respectively, without PAC addition. In the case of BR, the average removal efficiencies of COD and dye increased from 52% and 9% to 90% and 93%, respectively, with PAC addition. Kinetic study conducted for the REACT period showed that both dyes exhibited a very pronounced inhibitory effect on the activities of the microorganisms. The addition of PAC was capable of reducing the inhibitory effect of only BR but not AR on the microorganisms.     

Flocculation behaviors of a novel papermaking sludge-based flocculant in practical printing and dyeing wastewater treatment

•PSBF performed better than PAC and PAM in CODCr removals. •PSBF was more insensitive to changing pH than PAC and PAM. •PAC could remove humic acid-like pollutants and dye particles. •PSBF was efficient in removing tryptophan-like pollutants from PPDW. •A secondary coagulation-flocculation process (PAC→PSBF) is proposed here. In our previous studies, several papermaking sludge-based flocculants (PSBFs) were synthesized from wood pulp papermaking sludge. The structure-activity relationships of the PSBFs have been investigated in simulated dye wastewater treatment, but their efficiencies in practical printing and dyeing wastewater (PPDW) treatment are unknown. Herein, an PSBF was prepared, and its performance is discussed in comparison to polyaluminium chloride (PAC) and polyacrylamide (PAM) in PPDW treatment. The PSBF was used in three ways: as an independent flocculant, as a PAC aid, or used to treat the effluent of the PAC system. The results indicated that adding PSBF alone produced similar color and chemical oxygen demand (COD_Cr) removals as the PAC system alone, but PSBF performed better than PAC when the pH of PPDW was higher than 7.0. Adding PSBF as a PAC aid improved the color, COD_Cr and turbidity removals, but the elimination efficiencies were slightly lower than those of the PAC+ PAM system. However, when PSBF was used as a flocculant to treat the effluent of the PAC system (PAC→PSBF), the effluent qualities were enhanced. Compared with the PAC system, the color and COD_Cr removals of PAC→PSBF system increased by 16.21% and 13.26%, respectively. The excitation and emission matrix fluorescence results indicated that PSBF removed tryptophan-like pollutants more efficiently than PAC. Considering the pH requirements of the subsequent bioreactor treatment in practice, the PAC→PSBF system were also investigated at the PPDW pH level of 7.0. Its maximum removal efficiencies of color, COD_Cr and turbidity were 90.17%, 32.60% and 82.50%, respectively.     

Characteristics of pollutants behavior in a stormwater constructed wetland during dry days

A stormwater wetland treating non-point source pollution (NPS) from a 64 ha agricultural watershed was monitored over a period of five months. The results indicated that pH and dissolved oxygen (DO) were increased in the wetland due to the algal growth. The highest total suspended solids (TSS) concentration was observed in the aeration pond due to the resuspension of solids, decreased in the wetland. The respective decreases in total nitrogen (TN) and total kjeldahl nitrogen (TKN) were 15.9% and 28.7% on passing through the wetland. The nitrate and ammonia were increased by 45.4% and decreased by 79.9%, respectively. These variations provided strong evidence for the existence of nitrification. The total phosphorus (TP) and phosphate had respective reductions of 52.3% and 58.2% over the wetland. The total chemical oxygen demand (TCOD) and soluble chemical oxygen demand (SCOD) were also decreased. Generally, the TN, TP and phosphate removal efficiencies were positive. These positive removal efficiencies were mainly due to microbial activities, uptake by plants, and chemical precipitation at high pH. Negative removal efficiencies can be caused by continuous rainfall activities, with short antecedent dry days (ADDs) and unstable hydraulic conditions, some other biogeochemical transformations and algal growth also being important parameters.     

Stabilization of Cd-, Pb-, Cu- and Zn-contaminated calcareous agricultural soil using red mud: a field experiment

Red mud (RM) was used to remediate heavy metal-contaminated soils. Experiments with two different dosages of RM added to soils were carried out in this study. It was found that soil pH increased 0.3 and 0.5 unit with the dosage of 3 and 5% (wt%), respectively. At the dosage of 5%, the highest stabilization efficiencies for Cd, Pb, Cu and Zn reached 67.95, 64.21, 43.73 and 63.73%, respectively. The addition of RM obviously transferred Cd from the exchangeable fraction to the residual fraction. Meanwhile, in comparison with the control (no RM added), it reduced 24.38, 49.20, 19.42 and 8.89% of Cd, Pb, Cu and Zn in wheat grains at the RM addition dosage of 5%, respectively. At the same time, the yield of wheat grains increased 17.81 and 24.66% at the RM addition dosage of 3 and 5%, respectively. Finally, the addition of RM did not change the soil bacterial community. These results indicate that RM has a great potential in stabilizing heavy metals in calcareous agricultural soils.

     

Evaluation of activated sludge properties’ changes in industrial-wastewater pre-treatment: role of residual aluminum hydrolyzed species with different polymerization degree

● Medium poly Al salts dominated the PAC residual salts with a rational dosage. ● Settlement flocculation effect under medium poly Al salts showed a better trend. ● Complex of medium poly Al salts and enzymes promoted cell activity. ● Medium poly Al salts were beneficial to the effluent indexes. With the widespread introduction of pre-coagulation prior to the biological unit in various industrial wastewater treatments, it is noteworthy that long-term accumulation of residual coagulants has certains effect on both micro and macro characteristics of activated sludge (AS). In this study, the morphology distributions of residual aluminum salts (RAS) and their effects on the removal efficiency of AS were investigated under different PAC concentrations. The results showed that the dominance of medium polymeric RAS, formed under an appropriate PAC dose of 20 mg/L enhanced the hydrophobicity, flocculation, and sedimentation performances of AS, as well as the enzymatic activity in cells in the sludge system, improving the main pollutants removal efficiency of the treatment system. Comparatively the species composition with monomer and dimer / high polymer RAS as the overwhelming parts under an over-dosed PAC concentration of 55 mg/L resulted in excessive secretion of EPS with loose flocs structure and conspicuous inhibition of cellular activity, leading to the deterioration of physico-chemical and biological properties of AS. Based on these findings, this study can shed light on the role of the RAS hydrolyzed species distributions, closely relevant to Al dosage, in affecting the comprehensive properties of AS and provide a theoretical reference for coagulants dosage precise control in the pretreatment of industrial wastewater.     

Suspended solid abatement in a conical fluidized bed flocculator

With the random movement of silica gel beads in a conical fluidized bed, micro-vortices resulting from the fluidization promoted the collision and aggregation of suspended fine kaolin powders. The abatement efficiencies of the suspended fine solids under several hydrodynamic conditions were studied, and a suitable control strategy for operating the conical fluidized bed flocculators was identified. The suspended solids abatement efficiency was found to increase with increasing Camp Number and flocculation time (T), but decreased with the increase of velocity gradient (G) within the range studied in this research (165.1–189.6 s^-1). The abatement efficiencies were all more than 60% at the range of G = 165–180 s^-1 and T = 15–33 s at an initial kaolin solid concentration of 150 mg·L^-1, polymer aluminum chloride dosage of 60 mg·L^-1 and sedimentation time of 20 min. However, the formation of flocs was influenced by the liquid backmixing. Excessive backmixing caused the breakup of flocs and resulted in difficulty for the fine powders to aggregate and sediment to the reactor bottom. The results of the calculated fractal dimension and measured free sedimentation velocity of flocs obtained at different runs showed similar flocs properties, and indicated an easy control strategy for sedimentation of the flocs.

Effectiveness of tertiary treatment processes in removing different classes of emerging contaminants from domestic wastewater

● Different advanced treatment processes were tested for ECs removal from wastewater. ● UV radiation showed low to moderate removal for 5 of the 38 micropollutants. ● Among tested membrane processes, nanofiltration showed the better performance. ● The use of PAC achieved high or partially removal for 31 out of the 38 compounds. ● The environmental and economical evaluation of a pilot-scale PAC unit is suggested. In this work, 38 different organic emerging contaminants (ECs), belonging to various chemical classes such as pharmaceuticals (PhCs), endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs), benzotriazoles (BTRs), benzothiazoles (BTHs), and perfluorinated compounds (PFCs), were initially identified and quantified in the biologically treated wastewater collected from Athens’ (Greece) Sewage Treatment Plant (STP). Processes already used in existing STPs such as microfiltration (MF), nanofiltration (NF), ultrafiltration (UF), UV radiation, and powdered activated carbon (PAC) were assessed for ECs’ removal, under the conditions that represent their actual application for disinfection or advanced wastewater treatment. The results indicated that MF removed only one out of the 38 ECs and hence it was selected as pretreatment step for the other processes. UV radiation in the studied conditions showed low to moderate removal for 5 out of the 38 ECs. NF showed better results than UF due to the smaller pore sizes of the filtration system. However, this enhancement was observed mainly for 8 compounds originating from the classes of PhCs and PFCs, while the removal of EDCs was not statistically significant. Among the various studied technologies, PAC stands out due to its capability to sufficiently remove most ECs. In particular, removal rates higher than 70% were observed for 9 compounds, 22 were partially removed, while 7 demonstrated low removal rates. Based on our screening experiments, future research should focus on scaling-up PAC in actual conditions, combining PAC with other processes, and conduct a complete economic and environmental assessment of the treatment.

以膜生物反应器（MBR）处理模拟生活废水为研究体系,考察曝气强度对系统污染物去除效果、脱氢酶活性、胞外聚合物（EPS）组分和含量、Zeta电位、污泥粒径及跨膜压差等的影响.结果表明,随着曝气强度降低,COD去除率变化不大,均大于94.0%,脱氢酶活性明显降低,VSS/SS比值下降;污泥LB-EPS增加,Zeta电位降低,污泥平均体积粒径减小,膜通量下降速率增大.曝气强度为800—400 L.m-.2h-1的条件下,曝气产生的水力剪切力不是影响污泥粒径大小的主导因素,污泥Zeta电位则起着决定作用,但水力剪切力有利于缓解膜污染.
