Preparation of a new Fenton-like catalyst from red mud using molasses wastewater as partial acidifying agent

Using molasses wastewater as partial acidifying agent, a new Fenton-like catalyst (ACRM _sm ) was prepared through a simple process of acidification and calcination using red mud as main material. With molasses wastewater, both the free alkali and the chemically bonded alkali in red mud were effectively removed under the action of H₂SO₄ and molasses wastewater, and the prepared ACRM _sm was a near-neutral catalyst. The ACRM _sm preparation conditions were as follows: for 3 g of red mud, 9 mL of 0.7 mol/L H₂SO₄ plus 2 g of molasses wastewater as the acidifying agent, calcination temperature 573 K, and calcination time 1 h. Iron phase of ACRM _sm was mainly α-Fe₂O₃ and trace amount of carbon existed in ACRM _sm . The addition of molasses wastewater not only effectively reduced the consumption of H₂SO₄ in acidification of red mud but also resulted in the generation of carbon and significantly improved the distribution of macropore in prepared ACRM _sm . It was found that near-neutral pH of catalyst, generated carbon, and wide distribution of macropore were the main reasons for the high catalytic activity of ACRM _sm . The generated carbon and wide distribution of macropore were entirely due to the molasses wastewater added. In degradation of orange II, ACRM _sm retained most of its catalytic stability and activity after five recycling times, indicating ACRM _sm had an excellent long-term stability in the Fenton-like process. Furthermore, the performance test of settling showed ACRM _sm had an excellent settleability. ACRM_sm was a safe and green catalytic material used in Fenton-like oxidation for wastewater treatment.

     

工艺条件对鸟粪石晶体的粒径和沉降速度的影响

采用激光粒度仪实验测定了小型套管式空气曝气填料层磷回收装置中不同条件下生成的鸟粪石晶体的体积平均粒径,考察了其变化规律,并结合Stokes公式计算了晶体的沉降速率,同时考虑鸟粪石晶体形状的影响,进行了相应的修正。实验结果表明,鸟粪石的粒径在10—200μm之间,主要集中于20～100μm;在磷回收装置中添加填料并通人空气有利于增大鸟粪石晶体的粒径和沉降速度,无填料无空气时和有填料有空气时的平均粒径分别在30～55μm和40～65μm之间。随着pH值的增大,鸟粪石晶体的粒径和沉降速度逐渐增大,但当pH大于9．0后,鸟粪石晶体的粒径和沉降速度又逐渐减小;氮磷比值从1：1增大到2：1,鸟粪石晶体的粒径和沉降速度小幅度增加,氮磷比进一步增大,鸟粪石晶体的粒径和沉降速度基本不变;镁磷摩尔比在1：1—1．2：1的范围内时,鸟粪石晶体的平均粒径和沉降速度随镁磷比的增大而增大;镁磷摩尔比大于1．2：1后,鸟粪石晶体的平均粒径和沉降速度随镁磷比的增大逐渐减小;初始磷浓度越高,鸟粪石晶体的平均粒径和沉降速度越大。     

多级厌氧法处理螺旋霉素工业发酵菌渣效果的研究

通过自主设计的多级厌氧反应器系统来考察半连续处理螺旋霉素工业发酵菌渣的效果。该系统总反应体积为44L,由4个11L的升流式厌氧反应罐组成,罐体间采用串联方式连接。121d的连续运行周期分为3个阶段,各阶段的有机负荷率分别为1．27、1．82和2．73kgCOD／（m3·d）。全过程中主要监测了各级罐体的产气量和螺旋霉素的降解。结果表明,多级厌氧反应器系统启动初期会出现产气不稳定现象,经过2个月的运行之后系统达到稳定状态。在有机负荷达到2．73kgCOD／（m3·d）时,各级罐体仍能稳定运行,总产气的45％集中在1号罐。在系统启动初期,螺旋霉素不能被明显降解。运行约80d后,整个体系达到了快速降解螺旋霉素的状态,在2．73kgCOD／（m3·d）的有机负荷率下,螺旋霉素降解率达到97％,同时可溶性COD降解率也达到了90％。     

纤维素酶、半纤维素酶降解膨化玉米秸秆工艺优化

利用纤维素酶和半纤维素酶协同降解经过膨化预处理的玉米秸秆,以提高玉米秸秆相比于单酶解的产糖量。在单因素实验的基础上,以还原糖产率为响应值,通过响应面来优化设计实验。实验数据分析得出,膨化玉米秸秆酶解的最佳工艺为:pH 4.8,液固比13∶1,酶解时间60 h,酶浓度6 g/L,温度51℃。对比纤维素酶单独作用于玉米秸秆的降解效果,双酶协同酶解使酶解液的还原糖产率提高到24%,还原糖产率提高了14.3%。协同酶解的研究为木质纤维素原料的降解提供了一种新的方式。

TiO2光催化复合分离膜对水中天然有机物的去除

在水源污染越来越严重、水质标准日益严格的背景下,超滤（UF）已逐渐成为替代饮用水常规处理技术的最佳选择之一。本研究中采用相转化法,将聚偏氟乙烯（PVDF）、聚乙二醇（PEG）和二氧化钛（TiO2）共混制得光催化复合分离膜并对其进行扫描电子显微镜（SEM）、原子力显微镜（AFM）和X射线能谱仪（EDS）等相应的表征。比较了有无光照条件下,PVDF-PEG和PVDF—PEG—TiO2膜对腐殖酸（HA）的截留和超滤过程中的膜污染情况。研究结果表明,TiO2光催化复合分离膜能提高对水中天然有机物的去除并同时降低膜污染。紫外光照强度越强,PVDF-PEG—TiO2膜的抗污染性能越好。另外,光催化能更有效地减少超滤初始浓度较低的腐殖酸溶液过程中的膜通量衰减。     

Odor compounds released from different zones of two adjacent waste treatment facilities: Interactive influence and source identification

An integrated approach was applied to identify the key odorants comprising emissions from different zones in two adjacent waste treatment facilities (an aerobic biological treatment plant and an anaerobic landfill site), identify their precise sources, and distinguish the interactive influences between them. Seven odor families were investigated, including alcohols, terpenes, carbonyls, aromatics, volatile fatty acids (VFAs), sulfur compounds, and ammonia. Principal components analysis, characteristic molecular ratios, and ternary diagrams were used to differentiate the interactive influence of the odor sources. Among typical biotic compounds, terpenes were found to be more suitable as odor markers for their better fingerprinting character than sulfur compounds and VFAs. Ratios of p-cymene at sampling locations related to the biological treatment plant (aerobic status) were between 0.00 and 0.25, whereas those at landfill-related sampling points (anaerobic status) were between 0.25 and 1.0. The molecular ratio of terpenes was also found to be an appropriate means to differentiate between homologous and similar odor sources such as an aerobic biological treatment plant and anaerobic landfill.

Implications:?The aim of this work is to identify the key odorants comprising emissions from different zones in two adjacent waste treatment facilities, identify their precise sources, and distinguish the interactive influences between them. The emission of gaseous pollutants greatly affects the living quality of nearby residents, and odor complaints are becoming a major problem. In this study we utilized various pretreatment and analytical methods to obtain integrated emission information of gaseous pollutants. The results showed terpenes were found to be more suitable as odor markers for their better fingerprinting character than sulfur compounds and VFAs.
