EVALUATION OF CURRENT TECHNIQUES FOR NUTRIENT REMOVAL FROM WASTEWATERS1

ABSTRACT. A comprehensive evaluation of current techniques for nutrients, nitrogen and phosphorus, removal from wastewaters was conducted by the author under a research project supported by the Office of Water Resources Research, Department of the Interior. The object of this study was to compile and evaluate, under one cover, the available information on current techniques for removing nutrients from wastewaters with emphasis on type of treatment (physical, chemical, biological, or any combination); economics (capital and operating costs); efficiencies, and applications. Due to space limitations, only a brief summary of this work is presented in this paper. A copy of the completion report may be obtained from the author.     

多针-板脉冲放电处理模拟尾气中的NOx

机动车尾气中NOx受到人们普遍关注。采用多针-板放电反应器,研究NOx浓度变化随电气、气体等参数的变化规律,为脉冲放电去除NOx提供一定理论支撑。结果表明：在一定条件下提高脉冲电压有利于NO转化;脉冲重复频率增大可提升NOx去除率,脉冲重复频率达到一定值时NOx去除率增幅不明显;流量增大利于NO转化,不利于NOx去除;随氧浓度的升高NO转化率呈现先降低后升高,NOx去除率逐渐降低。当氧浓度低于5%时,NOx主要是通过NO还原成N2;氧浓度高于5%时,NO主要通过氧化转化为NO2。     

城市污水除磷技术发展

磷是水体富营养化的一个主要限制因素，控制出水中磷的浓度尤其重要。污水除磷方法有生物除磷、化学除磷及生态除磷，也可将各种方法组合使用，如生物一化学除磷、生物一生态除磷等，实际应用中应根据具体情况选择适宜的除磷方法。

Effect of soil layering on NAPL removal behavior in soil-heated vapor extraction

Soil heating has been proposed as a method to enhance the vapor extraction of NAPLs from contaminated soils. Three-dimensional fluid flow and heat transfer simulations have been performed for soil-heated vapor extraction to determine the transient system performance for a hypothetical configuration. Soil layering has been considered in evaluation of the initial non-aqueous phase liquid (NAPL) distribution and in evaporation and transport to the vapor extraction location. Results from this layered model are compared with results for a homogeneous system with an initially uniform NAPL, indicating the influence of layering, the initial NAPL distribution, the type of NAPL, and the possibility of enhanced vapor diffusion. Not only is the NAPL removal time reduced significantly with the addition of heat, but the uncertainty in the removal time owing to a number of difficult to characterize in situ factors, such as layering and the initial NAPL distribution, is much less than for standard soil vapor extraction without heating, owing to the rise in temperature and increase in NAPL vapor pressure with time.

A bioaugmentation failure caused by phage infection and weak biofilm formation ability

Two biological aerated filters (BAF) were setup for ammonia removal treatment of the circulation water in a marine aquaculture. One of the BAFs was bioaugmented with a heterotrophic nitrifying bacterium, Lutimonas sp. H10, where the ammonia removal was not improved and the massive inoculation was even followed by a nitrification breakdown from day 9 to 18. The nitrification was remained stable in control BAF operated under the same conditions. Fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) with rRNA-targeted probes and cultivable method revealed that Lutimonas sp. H10 almost disappeared from the bioaugomented BAF within 3 d, and this was mainly due to the infection of a specific phage as revealed by flask experiment, plaque assay and transmission electron observation. Analyses of 16S rRNA gene libraries showed that bacterial groups from two reactors evolved di erently and an overgrowth of protozoa was observed in the bioaugmented BAF. Therefore, phage infection and poor biofilm forming ability of the inoculated strain are the main reasons for bioaugmentation failure. In addition, grazing by protozoa of the bacteria might be the reason for the nitrification breakdown in bioaugmented BAF during day 9–18.     

HRT对瓷粒BAF处理生活污水效能的影响

通过实验室模型试验研究了瓷粒曝气生物滤池处理生活污水的效能,分析了在气水比一定的条件下,水力停留时间(HRT)变化对曝气生物滤池处理效能及运行特性的影响规律。考察了不同HRT运行下,COD、NH4+-N、NO2--N、NO3--N、TN、SS等指标的变化,结果表明,当进水COD为280～320mg/L,气水比为3:1,HRT为10h的条件下,处理效果最好,其中COD、NH4+-N、TN、SS的平均去除率分别为92.6%、97.8%、34.7%、84.2%。当HRT逐渐降低时,以上指标的去除效果都有所下降,但去除效能的下降与HRT的降低不呈线性关系。当HRT降至3h,去除效能有一定程度的上升,COD、NH4+-N、TN、SS的去除率有所增加。
