The scarcity of water resources in Egypt has necessitated the use of various types of lower quality water. Agricultural drainage water is considered a strategic reserve for meeting increasing freshwater demands. In this study, a novel model series was applied to a drainage basin in the Nile Delta to optimize integrated water quality management for agriculture and the aquatic environment. The proposed model series includes a waste load allocation model, an export coefficient model, a stream water quality model, and a genetic algorithm. This model series offers an optimized solution for determining the required removal levels of total suspended solids (TSS), the chemical oxygen demand (COD) at point and non-point pollution sources, and the source flows that require treatment to meet a given water quality target. The model series was applied during the summer and winter to the El-Qalaa basin in the western delta of the Nile River. Increased pollutant removal and treated fractions at point and non-point sources reduced violations of the TSS standards from 732.6 to 238.9 mg/L in summer and from 543.1 to 380.9 mg/L in winter. Likewise, violations of the COD standards decreased from 112.4 mg/L to 0 (no violations) in summer and from 91.7 mg/L to no violations in winter. Thus, this model is recommended as a decision support tool for determining a desirable waste load allocation solution from a trade-off curve considering costs and the degree of compliance with water quality standards. 相似文献

Leachate pollution is one of the main problems in landfilling. Researchers have yet to find an effective solution to this problem. The technology that can be used may differ based on the type of leachate produced. Coliform bacteria were recently reported as one of the most problematic pollutants in semi-aerobic (stabilized) leachate. In the present study, the performance of the Electro-Fenton process in removing coliform from leachate was investigated. The study focused on two types of leachate: Palau Borung landfill leachate with low Coliform content (200 MPN/100 m/L) and Ampang Jajar landfill leachate with high coliform content (>24 × 104 MPN/100 m/L). Optimal conditions for the Electro-Fenton treatment process were applied on both types of leachate. Then, the coliform was examined before and after treatment using the Most Probable Number (MPN) technique. Accordingly, 100% removal of coliform was obtained at low initial coliform content, whereas 99.9% removal was obtained at high initial coliform content. The study revealed that Electro-Fenton is an efficient process in removing high concentrations of pathogenic microorganisms from stabilized leachate. 相似文献

This study focused on using scale inhibitors for calcium sulfate that are not only highly effective, but also comply with
present restrictive environmental control legislations. In this respect, some biodegradable compounds-based biopolymers, such
as carboxymethyl starch (CMS), carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), and chitosan (Ch), were evaluated at temperatures 90–95 and
130°C. The results obtained were compared with the performance of polyaspartic acid (PAA), which is well known in this application,
as well as other chelating synthetic polymers (polyacrylamide and amphoteric polyacrylamide). The role of the degree of substitution
(DS) of carboxymethylated biopolymer and the charge density of polyacrylamide (AmPAM-30 and AmPAM-50) on inhibition performance
of scale were also examined. The synergistic effect of PAA with investigated inhibitors was studied for economic and environmental
purposes. The results revealed that both the degree of substitution of carboxymethylated biopolymers and charge density of
polyacrylamide have a profound effect on improving the performance of the investigated scale inhibitors. The efficiency values
were correlated to the thermal degradation behavior (TGA) of biopolymers. PAA had the highest synergistic effect of all investigated
inhibitors, where the inhibition efficiency was found to range from 98% to 100%, at a temperature of 130°C, with low doses
of both PAA (2 ppm) together with biopolymers. This efficiency is observed using 20–40 ppm of PAA. The synergistic effect
of PAA (2 ppm) also showed enhancement of the performance of low doses of polyacrylamides (5 ppm) in maintaining soluble Ca2+ in solutions, increasing the efficiency from ∼57% to ∼100%, as well as its ecotoxicological property. 相似文献
