Removal of phosphate from wastewater using alkaline residue

Alkaline residue(AR) was found to be an efficient adsorbent for phosphate removal from wastewater. The kinetic and equilibrium of phosphate removal were investigated to evaluate the performance of modified alkaline residue. After treatment by NaOH(AR-NaOH), removal performance was significantly improved, while removal performance was almost completely lost after treatment by HCl(AR-HCl). The kinetics of the removal process by all adsorbents was well characterized by the pseudo second-order model. The Langmuir model exhibited the best correlation for AR-HCl, while AR was effectively described by Freundlich model. Both models were well fitted to AR-NaOH. The maximum adsorption capacities calculated from Langmuir equation were in following manner: AR-NaOH AR AR-HCl. Phosphate removal by alkaline residue was pH dependent process. Mechanisms for phosphate removal mainly involved adsorption and precipitation, varied with equilibrium pH of solution. For AR-HCl, the acid equilibrium pH( 6.0) was unfavorable for the formation of Ca-P precipitate, with adsorption as the key mechanism for phosphate removal. In contrast, for AR and ARNaOH, precipitation was the dominant mechanism for phosphate removal, due to the incrase on pH( 8.0) after phosphate removal. The results of both XRD and SEM analysis confirmed CaHPO4·2H2O formation after phosphate removal by AR and AR-NaOH.

以地下水循环井技术（GCWs）修复含水层低渗透性透镜体内污染物为研究对象,通过解析含水层内污染物浓度的空间分布规律和时间演化过程,构建了评估循环井修复低渗透性透镜体二级污染源修复效率的评价方法 .主要评价指标包括污染物平均浓度、污染物修复的时间累积效率系数和界限流线的几何特征及其上渗流入渗角度,分别用以评价瞬时修复效率、时间累积修复效率和渗流模式对污染物修复效果的影响.同时,利用COMSOL数值模拟软件,模拟了不同工况下循环井驱动的低渗透性污染源的反向扩散过程,并利用所构建的评估方法进行评估.结果表明：(1)随注水口高程降低或抽水口高程升高,循环井的修复效率总体呈递减趋势,其中,注水口略高于或抽水口略低于透镜体时修复效率较高;(2)循环井注水/抽水的质量通量越大、透镜体的长宽比系数越大、透镜体距离循环井越近,其修复效率越高;(3)界限流线位于以透镜体中心为原点的二、三象限时,循环井的修复效率较好;其上渗流入渗方向垂直于透镜体的上水平界面时,修复效率较高;随界限流线与透镜体的上界面法线夹角增大,修复效率降低.     

Enhanced struvite recovery from wastewater using a novel cone-inserted fluidized bed reactor

The feasibility of struvite recovery at low （12.5 mg/L） and high （120 mg[L） phosphorus concentrations was studied by constructing a novel fluidized bed reactor with cones （FBRwc） and without cones （FBRwoc）. The crystallization process was continuously operated for 133 days under different hydraulic retention times （HRT = 1-10 hr）, pH （7.5-10）, and molar ratios of Mg/P （0.75-1.75）, N/P （1-10） and Ca/Mg （0-2）. The optimum operating conditions of HRT, pH, Mg/P and N/P molar ratios were found to be 2 hr, 9, 1.25, and 7.5, respectively. Under these optimum conditions, the phosphorus precipitation efficiencies of FBRwc were 93% for low and 98% for high phosphorus influent; however, the efficiencies were 78% and 81% for FBRwoc, respectively. Due to crystal losses at each junction （17%-31%）, the crystal recovery efficiency of FBRwoc was relatively low （47%-65%） for both influent concentrations. However, the losses were minimal in FBRwc, which showed 75% and 92% crystal recovery for low and high phosphorus concentrations, respectively. At low calcium concentration, crystal chemical analysis showed the product to be pure struvite （〉 99%）. The scanning electron microscope and X-ray diffraction results further confirmed that the crystal recovered from FBRwc contained pure struvite, which could be considered a high quality fertilizer. Except HRT, all parameters （pH, Mg/P, N/P and Ca/Mg） were found to be influencing factors for FBRwc performance. Overall, inserting cones in each part of the reactor played a significant role in enhancing struvite recovery from a wide range of phosphorus-containing wastewater.

膜生物反应器处理垃圾渗滤液研究综述

传统生物处理工艺对垃圾渗滤液,特别是老龄化垃圾渗滤液处理效果差,而膜生物反应器(MBR)在这方面显现出巨大优势。MBR通过截留微生物保持高生物量浓度,只需较短的水力停留时间,并可承受较大有机负荷率,能有效去除有机物及微污染物,对氨氮的去除率达90%以上。优化条件下,对老龄垃圾渗滤液中COD的去除率达75%以上。虽然MBR性能稳定,但较短的水力停留时间和高浓度的氨氮对反应器有不良影响,并且较大的污泥龄也会降低反应器的性能。然而厌氧MBR和改进型活性炭粉末MBR在垃圾渗滤液的治理中表现出了巨大的潜力。

中国矿山环境治理恢复保证金制度

由于中国当前的矿山环境保护政策尚不能从根本上解决矿山环境的主要问题,作为责任主体的矿山企业不能积极主动实施矿山环境治理与恢复。矿山环境治理恢复保证金是为了保证采矿权人履行矿山环境治理恢复义务而缴纳的资金。建立矿山环境治理恢复保证金制度就是为了贯彻"谁污染、谁治理;谁破坏,谁恢复"的环保原则,促进采矿权人在采矿过程中保护矿山环境,并确保在闭坑、停办、关闭后受破坏的矿山生态环境得到治理恢复的一项特别的经济手段和措施。实施保证金制度可以更好地促进矿产资源开发的外部成本内部化,是矿山环境保护必要且有效的形式。     

流域氮素主要输出途径及变化特征

流域农业面源输出氮素是湖泊流域水体中氮的主要来源之一,对水环境安全造成了极大威胁.不同流域间地形、水文、植被覆盖等因子的差异及气象条件的变化,造成氮的输出途径具有流域异质性及时间变化特征.本研究以高原湖泊典型流域——凤羽河流域为例,基于2011-06~2013-05期间径流水量、水质高频监测数据,应用基流分割的方法,通过分析流域产流与氮素输出途径的季节性变化,探讨了流域氮素输出的主要途径及变化特征.结果表明,基流是高原湖泊流域水量输出的主要形式和总氮输出的主要途径;基流输出水量及总氮负荷分别占流域总输出水量的80. 0%和流域总氮输负荷的71. 1%;降雨显著增加了流域水量和总氮负荷的输出量,同时改变了总氮的输出途径;降雨导致地表径流量增加,进而使流域输出水量和总氮输出负荷中地表径流途径的比重升高;当地表径流占流域输出水量的比重约达40%以上时,流域总氮输出的主要途径由基流转变为地表径流;监测周期内,地表径流输出的总氮负荷占流域总输出负荷的比重最高达65. 6%.     

Long-term joint effect of nutrients and temperature increase on algal growth in Lake Taihu, China

To study how global warming and eutrophication affect water ecosystems, a multiplicative growth Monod model, modified by incorporating the Arrhenius equation, was applied to Lake Taihu to quantitatively study the relationships between algal biomass and both nutrients and temperature using long-term data. To qualitatively assess which factor was a limitation of the improved model, temperature variables were calculated using annual mean air temperature (AT), water temperature (WT), and their average temperature (ST), while substrate variables were calculated using annual mean total nitrogen (TN), total phosphorus (TP), and their weighted aggregate (R), respectively. The nine fitted curves showed that TN and AT were two important factors influencing algal growth; AT limited growth as algal photosynthesis is mainly carried out near the water surface; N leakage of phytoplankton and internal phosphorus load from sediment explains why TN was the best predictor of peak biomass using the Monod model. The fitted results suggest that annual mean algal biomass increased by 0.145 times when annual mean AT increased by 1.0℃. Results also showed that the more eutrophic the lake, the greater the effect AT had on algal growth. Subsequently, the long-term joint effect of annual temperature increase and eutrophication to water ecosystems can be quantitatively assessed and predicted.
