Effects of pH, temperature, and water quality on chloride removal with ultra-high lime with aluminum process.

The ultra high-lime with aluminum process (UHLA) has the ability to remove sulfate and chloride in addition to other scale-forming materials from recycled cooling water. Laboratory experiments have demonstrated that the UHLA process can achieve high chloride removal from recycled cooling water, and an equilibrium model was developed to describe chemical behavior during chloride removal. This paper describes the influence of pH, temperature, and initial chloride concentration on chloride removal by UHLA and identifies the precipitated solids formed during treatment. The optimum pH for maximum chloride removal efficiency was found to be 12 +/- 0.2. Chloride removal efficiency was higher at a high initial chloride concentration than at a low initial chloride concentration with the chemical doses used. Solids formed during UHLA treatment were identified by x-ray diffraction as calcium chloroaluminate, tricalcium hydroxyaluminate, and tetracalcium hydroxyaluminate. This supports the assumption of the equilibrium model that these compounds are present and form a solid solution.     

Interactions between chloride and sulfate or silica removals from wastewater using an advanced lime-aluminum softening process: equilibrium modeling.

Interactions among chloride, sulfate, and silica removals from recycled industrial wastewater using an ultra-high lime with aluminum process (UHLA) were studied. An equilibrium model that is able to accurately predict the chemical behavior and interactions between chloride and sulfate or silica with UHLA at various initial conditions and chemical reagents was developed. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis was conducted to identify the precipitated solids formed in the UHLA process. Model predictions indicated that simultaneous removal of sulfate and chloride can be best described by the formation of a solid solution containing calcium chloroaluminate, calcium sulfoaluminate (ettringite), calcium monosulfate, tricalcium hydroxyaluminate, and tetracalcium hydroxyaluminate. However, simultaneous removal of silica and chloride can be best described by precipitation of calcium silicate and calcium aluminosilicate in addition to a solid solution containing calcium chloroaluminate, tricalcium hydroxyaluminate, and tetracalcium hydroxyaluminate. The XRD results indicated the presence of the same solids assumed by the equilibrium model.     

Interactions between chloride and sulfate or silica removals using an advanced lime-aluminum softening process.

An advanced softening process called the ultra-high lime with aluminum process (UHLA) was initiated in this research. The UHLA process has the ability to remove sulfate, silica, and chloride from waters such as recycled cooling water and desalination brines. Furthermore, it can remove other scale-forming materials, such as calcium, magnesium, carbonate, and phosphate. The purpose of this paper is to study the interactions among chloride, sulfate, and silica in the UHLA process. Results of equilibrium experiments indicated that sulfate is preferentially removed over chloride. Final chloride concentration increased with increasing initial sulfate concentration. However, initial chloride concentration was found to have negligible effect on final sulfate concentration. Silica was found to have only a small effect on chloride removal.     

AlCl3与Al13对不同HA浓度含氟废水的处理效果及作用机理

混凝是一种重要的除氟工艺。以不同腐殖质(HA)浓度的含氟废水为研究对象,对比高正电性分子[AlO₄Al₁₂(OH)₂₄(H₂O)₁₂]⁷⁺(Al₁₃)和氯化铝(AlCl₃)2种不同形态混凝剂的除氟效果。结果表明,在纯氟水中,增加混凝剂投加量,除氟率均为先升高后下降,而在HA存在的条件时,混凝剂的除氟效果是氟和有机物的竞争作用与三元络合促进作用在动态平衡下的结果。氟离子和有机物混合废水中的氟离子能够促使有机质中酚羟基与Al₁₃的络合。Al₁₃在混凝过程中会形成三元络合物,促使氟离子脱离水相,因此,除氟效果更好。当溶解性有机碳质量浓度为5 mg·L⁻¹时,Al₁₃的最高除氟率可达88.8%。

通过在不同pH值,温度等条件下Ca5（AsO4）3OH的溶解,确定其稳定存在的pH值范围,得出它的溶度积和生成的自由能（ΔG0f）。结果表明,Ca5（AsO4）3OH在水中的溶解度和稳定范围与pH和温度有关,在酸性条件下（初始pH=2）它的溶解度较大,而且在水中的溶解度随着温度的升高而降低。利用PHREEQC程序计算确定Ca5（AsO4）3OH的溶度积为10-40.86,生成自由能ΔG0f为-5 063.53 kJ/mol。利用JADE5软件计算得到其晶格参数a=b=9.696,c=6.967和晶胞体积为567.304 3。

钙基半干法燃煤烟气脱硫技术的影响因素

半干法烟气脱硫技术因具有耗水量少、产物易处理等特点而备受关注。基于固定床反应器研究了反应温度、脱硫剂Ca(OH)₂颗粒粒径、反应空速及烟气中水蒸气体积分数对Ca(OH)₂脱硫性能的影响。结果表明,Ca(OH)₂颗粒粒径的减小、反应空速的降低、烟气中水蒸气体积分数的提高及低反应温度等因素,有利于SO₂的脱除、Ca(OH)₂利用率的提高及Ca/S的降低。当Ca(OH)₂颗粒的平均粒径为0.58 mm、反应空速为2 500 h⁻¹、模拟烟气中水蒸气体积分数为12%、反应温度为55 ℃时,可获得最佳脱硫效果。在SO₂穿透浓度35 mg·Nm⁻³下,Ca(OH)₂的利用率可达到71.3%,此时Ca/S为1.4。在上述条件下,SO₂达到穿透浓度时,通过实施脉冲增湿可使穿透时间延长、Ca(OH)₂利用率进一步提升至75.7%。本研究结果可为半干法脱硫工艺的改进提供参考。     

酒糟生物炭负载铝对饮用水中氟的去除

Multi-component reactive transport modeling of natural attenuation of an acid groundwater plume at a uranium mill tailings site

Natural attenuation of an acidic plume in the aquifer underneath a uranium mill tailings pond in Wyoming, USA was simulated using the multi-component reactive transport code PHREEQC. A one-dimensional model was constructed for the site and the model included advective-dispersive transport, aqueous speciation of 11 components, and precipitation-dissolution of six minerals. Transport simulation was performed for a reclamation scenario in which the source of acidic seepage will be terminated after 5 years and the plume will then be flushed by uncontaminated upgradient groundwater. Simulations show that successive pH buffer reactions with calcite, Al(OH)3(a), and Fe(OH)3(a) create distinct geochemical zones and most reactions occur at the boundaries of geochemical zones. The complex interplay of physical transport processes and chemical reactions produce multiple concentration waves. For SO4(2-) transport, the concentration waves are related to advection-dispersion, and gypsum precipitation and dissolution. Wave speeds from numerical simulations compare well to an analytical solution for wave propagation.     

A strategy for controlling deposition of struvite in municipal wastewater treatment plants.

This paper presents strategies to reduce the risk of struvite deposition by controlling its location of formation. Two technical routes were investigated: (1) to fix the phosphate into the dewatered sludge cake, and (2) to remove phosphate from centrate or filtrate. Chemicals used include magnesium hydroxide [Mg(OH)2], both of reagent grade and reclaimed from a flue gas desulfurization system, magnesium chloride (MgCl2), calcium hydroxide [Ca(OH)2], ferric chloride (FeCl3) and aluminum sulfate [Al2(SO4)3]. Research results indicate that (1) for anaerobically well-digested sludge, Mg(OH)2 is effective in fixing phosphate into sludge cake and improving sludge dewaterability, and (2) adding Mg(OH)2 into a reactor, located between the sludge dewatering facilities and the centrate or filtrate discharge line, and using air for mixing and carbon dioxide stripping, proves feasible in reducing struvite deposition in centrate or filtrate discharge lines and can generate a potentially valuable plant fertilizer--struvite.     

Removal of Pb2+ from aqueous solution by adsorption on chemically modified muskmelon peel

A cost-effective biosorbent was prepared by a green chemical modification process from muskmelon peel by saponification with alkaline solution of Ca(OH)₂. Its adsorption behavior for lead ions was investigated and found to exhibit excellent adsorption properties. Results showed that the optimal equilibrium pH range for 100 % adsorption is from 4 up to 6.4. Adsorption equilibrium was attained within 10 min. The adsorption process can be described well by Langmuir model and pseudo-second-order kinetics equation, respectively. The maximum adsorption capacity for lead ions was found to be 0.81 mol/kg. Pectic acid contained in the muskmelon peel is the main factor responsible for the uptake of lead ions onto the gel, and the chemical modification process presented in this study can be assumed effective to prepare other similar biomaterials. The large adsorption capacity and the fast adsorption rate indicated that chemically saponified muskmelon peel gel in present study has great potential to be used as a cost-effective adsorbent for the removal of lead ions from the water.     

Comparison of hematite/Fe(II) systems with cement/Fe(II) systems in reductively dechlorinating trichloroethylene

Reactive reductants of cement/Fe(II) systems in dechlorinating chlorinated hydrocarbons are unknown. This study initially evaluated reactivities of potential reactive agents of cement/Fe(II) systems such as hematite (alpha-Fe(2)O(3)), goethite (alpha-FeOOH), lepidocrocite (gamma-FeOOH), akaganeite (beta-FeOOH), ettringite (Ca(6)Al(2)(SO(4))(3)(OH)(12)), Friedel's salt (Ca(4)Al(2)Cl(2)(OH)(12)), and hydrocalumite (Ca(2)Al(OH)(6)(OH).3H(2)O) in reductively dechlorinating trichloroethylene (TCE) in the presence of Fe(II). It was found that a hematite/Fe(II) system shows TCE degradation characteristics similar to those of cement/Fe(II) systems in terms of degradation kinetics, Fe(II) dose dependence, and final products distribution. It was therefore suspected that Fe(III)-containing phases of cement hydrates in cement/Fe(II) systems behaved similarly to the hematite. CaO, which was initially introduced as a pH buffer, was observed to participate in or catalyze the formation of reactive reductants in the hematite/Fe(II) system, because its addition enhanced the reactivities of hematite/Fe(II) systems. From the SEM (scanning electron microscope) and XRD (X-ray diffraction) analyses that were carried out on the solids from hematite/Fe(II) suspensions, it was discovered that a sulfate green rust with a hexagonal-plate structure was probably a reactive reductant for TCE. However, SEM analyses conducted on a cement/Fe(II) system showed that hexagonal-plate crystals, which were presumed to be sulfate green rusts, were much less abundant in the cement/Fe(II) than in the hematite/Fe(II) systems. It was not possible to identify any crystalline minerals in the cement/Fe(II) system by using XRD analysis, probably because of the complexity of the cement hydrates. These observations suggest that major reactive reductants of cement/Fe(II) systems may differ from those of hematite/Fe(II) systems.     

磁性Ca/Al水滑石对挥发性脂肪酸的吸附性能

污水脱氮除磷处理过程中使用的液态碳源存在投加量难以控制以及容易影响出水水质、增大处理费用等缺点。针对此现状,采用超声辅助法以超顺磁性铁氧体材料对制备的Ca/Al水滑石进行复合改性合成磁性Ca/Al水滑石,研究以其作为载体对挥发性脂肪酸(VFA)的吸附提取性能,考察了磁性Ca/Al水滑石吸附剂剂量、吸附时间和转速对VFA吸附效果的影响,并通过均匀实验设计,采用响应面法优化吸附提取参数。结果表明：当吸附剂剂量为16 g·L-1,吸附时间为50 min,转速为70 r·min-1时,该材料对VFA的理论最大吸附效率为95.7%。由于材料自身具有磁性特性,经提取后的混合液在外加磁场的作用下,能够实现磁性Ca/Al水滑石的快速回收。同时,将回收再生后的磁性Ca/Al水滑石对VFA的吸附提取性能进行了研究,发现在吸附解吸3次循环后仍然有很好的吸附效果。表明利用该磁性Ca/Al水滑石提取VFA是可行的,为后续将其作为固态可控外加碳源的研究奠定了基础。

聚合铝水解形态对混凝效果及絮体特性的影响

采用微量滴定法制备不同碱化度的聚合铝,并测定其铝形态分布,通过其对腐殖酸-高岭土水样进行烧杯实验,依据絮体的Zeta电位、浊度、UV254及絮体强度因子及恢复因子等参数,以综合评价聚合铝水解形态的混凝机理及其絮体特性。结果表明：聚合铝投加前后铝形态分布存在很大差异,碱化度越低影响越明显,碱化度为0.5的聚合铝中Ala含量由原来的69.57%变为4%左右,而其Alc由9.36%变为50%左右;预制铝的中聚体和高聚体形态在混凝过程中相对比较稳定,而低聚合度的Ala变化显著;Alb电中和能力强,对溶解性有机物去除效果好,其絮体成长速度慢但絮体强度高;Alc具有较强的吸附架桥能力,能促进浊度的去除;预制Alc的吸附架桥能力强于水解生成的Alc,但其絮体恢复性能差。     

Principal component analysis to assess the efficiency and mechanism for enhanced coagulation of natural algae-laden water using a novel dual coagulant system

A novel dual coagulant system of polyaluminum chloride sulfate (PACS) and polydiallyldimethylammonium chloride (PDADMAC) was used to treat natural algae-laden water from Meiliang Gulf, Lake Taihu. PACS (Al_n(OH)_mCl_3n-m-2k(SO₄)_k) has a mass ratio of 10 %, a SO₄ ^2?/Al₃ ⁺ mole ratio of 0.0664, and an OH/Al mole ratio of 2. The PDADMAC ([C₈H₁₆NCl]_m) has a MW which ranges from 5?×?10⁵ to 20?×?10⁵ Da. The variations of contaminants in water samples during treatments were estimated in the form of principal component analysis (PCA) factor scores and conventional variables (turbidity, DOC, etc.). Parallel factor analysis determined four chromophoric dissolved organic matters (CDOM) components, and PCA identified four integrated principle factors. PCA factor 1 had significant correlations with chlorophyll-a (r?=?0.718), protein-like CDOM C1 (0.689), and C2 (0.756). Factor 2 correlated with UV₂₅₄ (0.672), humic-like CDOM component C3 (0.716), and C4 (0.758). Factors 3 and 4 had correlations with NH₃-N (0.748) and T-P (0.769), respectively. The variations of PCA factors scores revealed that PACS contributed less aluminum dissolution than PAC to obtain equivalent removal efficiency of contaminants. This might be due to the high cationic charge and pre-hydrolyzation of PACS. Compared with PACS coagulation (20 mg L^?1), the removal of PCA factors 1, 2, and 4 increased 45, 33, and 12 %, respectively, in combined PACS–PDADMAC treatment (0.8 mg L^?1?+?20 mg L^?1). Since PAC contained more Al (0.053 g/1 g) than PACS (0.028 g/1 g), the results indicated that PACS contributed less Al dissolution into the water to obtain equivalent removal efficiency.     

Mechanisms of phosphorus solubilisation in a limed soil as a function of pH

Phosphorus (P) quantity-intensity relationships are central to the solubility and release of P from soil to water. Relationships between P extractable by 0.5 M NaHCO extractable P (Olsen P; quantity, Q) and P extractable by 0.01 M CaCl(2) (CaCl(2)-P; possible predictor of soil solution or drainage water P; intensity, I) are curvilinear: above a certain Olsen P concentration, CaCl(2)-P becomes much more soluble than when below it. Aluminium-, Fe- and Ca-P forms (extractable by Olsen's reagent) are thought to control P solubility. Thus, our objectives were to identify P forms in equilibrium with CaCl(2)-P via solubility equilibrium experiments, and the behaviour of CaCl(2)-P in relation to Al, Fe and Ca associated P, determined with 31P high power decoupling magic angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (31P HPDec/MAS NMR). Results indicated that two Q-I relationships occurred, one for soils above pH 5.8, and the other for soils below pH 5.8. Above pH 5.8, soils were saturated with respect to hydroxyapatite (Ca(5)(PO(4))(3)OH) and undersaturated with respect to beta-tricalcium phosphate (beta-Ca(3)(PO(4))(2)), while log ion-activity products showed that all soils and pHs were either saturated or in equilibrium with variscite (AlPO(4).2H(2)O) or its amorphous analogue. Using 31P HPDec/MAS NMR, Ca-P was best correlated with CaCl(2)-P in soils above pH 5.8, and with Al-P in soils below this pH. This study demonstrates the value of solid-state NMR in conjunction with wet chemical techniques for the study of labile P and P loss from pasture soils with a wide range of managements.     

Retention of Cd, Zn and Co on hydroxyapatite filters

This study qualifies and quantifies the immobilization of Cd, Zn and Co, (used as models of bivalent metal ions due to their relevant toxicity) in filters of synthetic hydroxyapatite (HAP) [Ca5(PO4)3OH]. They were flushed with solutions containing Cd (1 x 10(-5)M), Zn and Co (1 x 10(-4)M) at constant pH (8.6) and ionic strength (0.01 M). The concentration of these metal ions in the outlet was measured by ICP-OEM spectroscopy. The software PHREEQC (version 2.4.2) was used to model sorption process and the potential effect of salinity (KCl), pH, alkalinity (NaHCO3) and hardness (CaCl2) over the efficiency of the treatment. Results showed an excellent retention capacity of HAP for Cd, Zn and Co. Sorption data were successfully described considering a mix model of surface complexation onto phosphate surface groups, ionic exchange in surface calcium sites and the precipitation of ZnO. Co exchange and surface complexation constants (Kex and Kc) were taken from previous experiments, while KexCd=0.32 and KcCd=0.63 were estimated from our modeling results. Predictive values of metal ion sorption show that: (a) an increase in hardness does not play a significant role in the retention capacity of these metals on HAP; (b) an increase in alkalinity promotes the precipitation of MeCO3 which could alter the hydrodynamic of the column; (c) a decrease in pH and an increase in salinity inhibit ZnO precipitation enhancing Zn and Cd adsorption and decreasing Co retention on HAP.     

Reproductive status, blood chemistry, gill histology and growth of perch (Perca fluviatilis) in three acidic lakes

Perch (Perca fluviatilis L.) were sampled soon after spawning in three small acidic lakes (pH 4.3-6.1, Al(lab) 5-106 microg litre(-1), Ca2+ 0.01-0.08 mmol litre(-1)) and in one circumneutral lake (pH 5.9-6.4, Al(lab) 4-12 microg litre(-1), Ca2+ 0.06-0.07 mmol litre(-1)) in southern Finland. Due to the delayed spawning of perch in the acidic lakes, sampling in those lakes was performed later than in the reference lake. In spite of that, the gonadosomatic index (GSI) of males in all the acidic lakes was significantly greater than in the reference lake. Of the two lakes with similar low water pH, the effects on reproduction were more prominent in the lake with higher water Al content. The plasma Ca2+ concentrations of females in the acidic lakes were significantly smaller than in the females of the reference lake. The low female:male plasma Ca2+ ratio (1.0-1.32) depicted delay of spawning. Stress in perch in acidic water was also seen in elevated blood haematocrit values, especially in females. On the other hand, a low plasma Cl- level, a common response to acidic water in salmonids, was not detected in perch in the most acidic lakes. The amount of Al accumulated in the gill epithelium was highest in the most acidified lake with high Al concentration, but was also pronounced in a lake with low pH and low Al concentration.
