响应面法分析卫生填埋渗滤液的Fenton处理过程

利用响应面法研究了Fenton试剂处理卫生填埋渗滤液过程中诸因素对COD去除率的影响,如渗滤液中高分子量有机物(HMWOM)与低分子量有机物(LMWOM)的TOC比例、LMWOM浓度以及双氧水和亚铁离子的摩尔比(H₂O₂/Fe²⁺).其中HMWOM/LMWOM值、LMWOM浓度和H₂O₂/Fe²⁺摩尔比值的高、低水平分别为14～38,975～3000 mg/L,1.75～4.00.由实验数据得到了1个2次响应曲面模型,该模型显示COD的去除率随着HMWOM/LMWOM值的增加而增加,但随着LMWOM浓度的增加而降低.Fenton试剂处理卫生填埋渗滤液存在着一个最佳的H₂O₂/Fe²⁺摩尔比值,COD去除率在该点能达到最高.     

Electrochemical dechlorination of chloroacetic acids (CAAs) using hemoglobin-loaded carbon nanotube electrode

Hemoglobin (Hb) was immobilized on carbon nanotube (CNT) electrode to catalyze the dechlorination of chloroacetic acids (CAAs), and the electrocatalytic behaviors of the Hb-loaded electrode for the dechlorination of trichloroacetic acid (TCAA) were studied by cyclic voltammetry and constant-potential electrolysis technique. An Hb-loaded packed-bed flow reactor was also constructed for bioelectrocatalytic dechloriantion of CAAs from drinking water. The results showed that the reduced heme of Hb immobilized on CNT electrode was easily regenerated, and Hb exhibited a stable and high activity for reductive dechlorination of CAAs with significant lowering of overpotential. TCAA could be reduced at -0.450 V (vs. saturated calomel electrode (SCE)) with catalysis of Hb-loaded electrode and its dechlorination was stepwise, following the pathway of TCAA-->dichloroacetic acid (DCAA)-->monochloroacetic acid (MCAA)-->acetic acid. It was also found that all CAAs, e.g., TCAA, DCAA and MCAA, could be dechlorinated completely at -0.450 V. The removal of 30.0 mM TCAA and DCAA is ca. 40% and 31%, respectively, with electrolysis for 100 min at -0.600 V (vs. SCE) using the Hb-loaded packed-bed flow reactor. The dechlorination activities of CAAs follow the decreasing order: TCAA>DCAA>MCAA, and the average current efficiency is over 90%.     

Removal of nanoparticles from CMP wastewater by magnetic seeding aggregation

CMP wastewaters have high solids content resulted from abrasive nanoparticles. Tremendous amount of ultrapure water consumption also makes the removal of nanoparticles from CMP wastewaters an important issue. Magnetic seeding aggregation of silica nanoparticles from the oxide CMP wastewater is studied in this work. Magnetite nanoparticles were synthesized and used as seeding particles. The turbidity of the CMP wastewater was reduced from 110 NTU to 7 NTU when solution pH was 6 and no addition of salt. This is because silica and magnetite nanoparticles were highly oppositely charged and the aggregation between silica and magnetite nanoparticles was achieved by electrostatic attractions. When the seeded wastewater was placed in a magnetic field strength higher than 800 G, the turbidity of the CMP wastewater was reduced to 1 NTU, which was clearer than the CMP wastewater treated by many other technologies.     

Combined effects of adsorption and photocatalysis by hybrid TiO2/ZnO-calcium alginate beads for the removal of copper

The use of nanosized titanium dioxide(TiO_2) and zinc oxide(ZnO) in the suspension form during treatment makes the recovering and recycling of photocatalysts difficult.Hence,supported photocatalysts are preferred for practical water treatment applications.This study was conducted to investigate the efficiency of calcium alginate(CaAlg) beads that were immobilized with hybrid photocatalysts,TiO_2/ZnO to form TiO_2/ZnO-CaAlg.These immobilized beads,with three different mass ratios of TiO_2:ZnO(1:1,1:2,and 2:1) were used to remove Cu(Ⅱ) in aqueous solutions in the presence of ultraviolet light.These beads were subjected to three cycles of photocatalytic treatment with different initial Cu(Ⅱ) concentrations(10-80 ppm).EDX spectra have confirmed the inclusion of Ti and Zn on the surface of the CaAlg beads.Meanwhile,the surface morphology of the beads as determined using SEM,has indicated differences of before and after the photocatalytic treatment of Cu(Ⅱ).Among all three,the equivalent mass ratio TiO_2/ZnO-CaAlg beads have shown the best performance in removing Cu(Ⅱ) during all three recycling experiments.Those TiO_2/ZnO-CaAlg beads have also shown consistent removal of Cu,ranging from 7.14-52.0 ppm(first cycle) for initial concentrations of10-80 ppm.In comparison,bare CaAlg was only able to remove 6.9-48 ppm of similar initial Cu concentrations.Thus,the potential use of TiO_2/ZnO-CaAlg beads as environmentally friendly composite material can be further extended for heavy metal removal from contaminated water.

Accident analysis model based on Bayesian Network and Evidential Reasoning approach

In this paper, an accident analysis model is proposed to develop the cost-efficient safety measures for preventing accidents. The model comprises two parts. In the first part, a quantitative accident analysis model is built by integrating Human Factors Analysis and Classification System (HFACS) with Bayesian Network (BN), which can be utilized to present the corresponding prevention measures. In the second part, the proposed prevention measures are ranked in a cost-effectiveness manner through Best-Fit method and Evidential Reasoning (ER) approach. A case study of vessel collision is analyzed as an illustration. The case study shows that the proposed model can be used to seek out accident causes and rank the derived safety measures from a cost-effectiveness perspective. The proposed model can provide accident investigators with a tool to generate cost-efficient safety intervention strategies.
