Taking advantage of storm and waste water retention basins as part of water use minimization in industrial sites

A methodology for water use minimization has been developed by the Clean Technology Network of Bahia over a 10 year period in joint cooperative programs with the chemical, petrochemical and copper metallurgy industries located in the largest Industrial Complex in Latin America, in Camaçari, Bahia, Brazil. The methodology comprises a set of tools including reconciled aqueous stream balances, database of aqueous streams; large scale training leading to the identification of water minimization alternatives in the processes, water reuse optimization approaches; geographical information systems as well as, consideration of the region's hydro and hydro-geological characteristics. The results of a study carried out to assess the possibility of using storm and wastewaters for industrial use is presented in this paper. The inorganic system is composed by three water reservoirs (basins) receiving stormwater contaminated with inorganic effluents, and occasionally with organics. These basins have been operated to control water flow inputs according to the capacity of the pumping outlet systems before their discharge to a submarine outfall. A mass balance was performed with historical updated data to assess water availability from the basins based on the daily volume variation and flow rate of inorganic effluent from 2001 to 2007. The study identified the possibility of recovering about 1140 m³/h of the overall 5400 m³/h consumed by the Industrial Complex at the moment. Organizational changes in the present effluent disposal and stormwater harvest systems will be required in order to maximize water recovery for industrial use.

向家坝水库营养盐时空分布特征及滞留效应

向家坝建库后改变了河流原有的水动力、营养盐分布及输移条件.为研究向家坝水库营养盐分布特征及滞留效应,通过2015～2016年分季度水库水质监测结果,分析向家坝水库水体总氮(TN)、总磷(TP)和溶解性硅(SiO_3~(2-)-Si)营养盐时空分布特征、滞留量、滞留效率.研究发现,向家坝水库TN、TP和SiO_3~(2-)-Si营养盐质量浓度均值分别为0. 905、0. 034和7. 98mg·L~(-1).其中,TN质量浓度在城镇人口密集区偏大,分布主要受点源影响;磷营养盐以颗粒态磷为主,TP质量浓度在水库中自上而下沿程降低,SiO_3~(2-)-Si质量浓度分布在时空上差异较小.向家坝对TN、TP和SiO_3~(2-)-Si营养盐滞留量为2. 30×10~4、0. 146×10~4和-2. 4×10~4t·a~(-1).在不同季度,TN和SiO_3~(2-)-Si滞留量有正有负,而TP则始终表现为正滞留. TN、TP和SiO_3~(2-)-Si月平均滞留效率分别为17. 5%、32. 8%和-2. 14%.整体上实际滞留效率表现为丰水期高于枯水期,并且TP的滞留作用更为显著. TN滞留量主要受反硝化作用,以及外源负荷输入影响; SiO_3~(2-)-Si输送通量主要受径流量影响;水库运行周期以及磷的颗粒形态则是TP滞留的主要因素.向家坝水库对营养盐的滞留效应与TN和SiO_3~(2-)-Si质量浓度变化无明显相关性,而水库对TP的滞留效应使TP质量浓度在水库纵向上沿程减小,在各监测样点垂向水深上TP质量浓度则有增大的趋势.

于2011年11月—2012年10月在黄河小浪底站和花园口站进行连续采样观测并结合同期水文资料,研究了在小浪底水库水沙调控影响下黄河颗粒有机碳(POC)的输送规律.结果表明,在小浪底水库正常调度期间,小浪底站和花园口站POC含量分别为0.37~0.65 mg·L-1和1.88~6.47 mg·L-1,小浪底站POC含量明显低于同期的花园口站.在小浪底水库调水调沙期间,小浪底站和花园口站的POC含量分别为0.43~693.75 mg·L-1和6.97~210.65 mg·L-1,在水库泄水阶段小浪底站POC含量明显低于花园口站,而在水库排沙阶段小浪底站POC含量又明显高于花园口站.小浪底站和花园口站全年POC输送量分别为53.2万t和49.2万t,其中,7—8月POC输送量最多,小浪底站7—8月POC输送量占全年POC输送量的97.5%,花园口站7—8月POC输送量占全年POC输送量的78.2%.小浪底水库"水沙调控"对黄河POC输送的影响明显不同于其他河流上的水库,它不仅拦蓄上游输送的POC,而在特定时间又将拦蓄水库中的POC大量排出水库.     

一体式铝盐絮体-超滤膜净水效能与机制

一体式膜工艺以其占地面积小、污染物去除效率高等优点在水处理工艺中逐渐应用.然而,长期运行后,传统颗粒性吸附剂存在加剧膜表面损伤的风险,同时大多数研究所用吸附剂价格较高,如纳米铁、碳纳米管等.针对上述问题,本文将铝盐混凝剂水解后形成的松散絮体直接注入膜池,基于腐殖酸(HA)和密云水库原水,考察了一体式絮体-超滤膜工艺运行效能及膜污染行为.结果表明,仅HA过膜时,第12 d跨膜压差(transmembrane pressure,TMP)急剧增至76. 4 k Pa,将膜组件取出经自来水清洗膜表面后TMP降为10. 1 k Pa (13 d),表明滤饼层是膜污染的主要形式,并且运行期间HA平均去除率仅为23. 3%.絮体注入频率、曝气强度及溶液pH能显著影响该工艺运行效能,尤其溶液pH.当采用连续投加方式将43. 2mmol·L-1铝盐絮体注入到pH为6. 0、曝气速率为0. 3 L·min-1膜池内时,膜污染程度显著降低,第12 d时TMP仅增长到19. 5 k Pa,清洗之后TMP降为5. 6 k Pa (13 d),此时HA平均去除率提高至61. 2%.此外,密云水库原水实验表明,当原水直接过膜时,TMP也急剧增加,运行12 d时TMP达到38. 0 k Pa,而清洗膜表面后TMP降低至3. 8 k Pa (13 d),滤饼层仍然为主要污染方式,同时有机质平均去除率为7. 5%.在上述最佳工艺条件下(曝气0. 3 L·min-1、溶液pH 6. 0)投加43. 2mmol·L-1铝盐絮体时,TMP增长也极其缓慢,12 d时仅增至6. 1 k Pa,膜表面清洗后TMP降至2. 3 k Pa (13 d),有机质平均去除率高达58. 6%.本研究表明一体式铝盐絮体-超滤膜在水处理中具有潜在的应用价值.

ESTIMATING AVERAGE MONTHLY LAKE EVAPORATION IN THE NORTHEAST UNITED STATES1

ABSTRACT: A methodology to estimate the average monthly lake evaporation, E(τ), (month τ=1,12) for fresh water bodies located in the northeast United States is presented. The approach combines analysis of at‐site, lake‐specific vertical water temperature profile data and a previously developed regional air temperature based model approximation of the widely accepted modified Penman energy budget estimate of mean monthly potential evaporation, E_p(τ) (mm/day). The paper presents procedures to develop site‐specific estimates of E_p(τ) and to convert water temperature data to average monthly conductive heat flux, G(τ). With monthly estimates of G(τ), the average monthly potential evaporation, E_p(τ), is then convertible to estimates of the average monthly lake evaporation, E(τ). This new method permits a good estimate of site‐specific lake evaporation rates without the data and computational requirements of the Penman energy budget procedure nor the comparatively expensive, time consuming field eddy correlation approach.     

Influence of Inversion Layers on the Distribution of Air Pollutants in Urban Areas

The air quality in urban areas is on the one hand determined by the intensity of emissions. On the other hand atmospheric dispersion and chemical transformation conditions as well as topographic location have great influence on the ambient air concentrations. Within, this study the correlation between pollutant concentrations and the dynamics of atmospheric barrier and mixing layers has been experimentally investigated by tethered balloon soundings.The most important barrier layer is the surface inversion. During clear sky it develops in the late afternoon and is dissolved by warm air from the heated ground in the morning. Emitted pollutants are kept beneath this inversion. But, at the same time, the component ozone is depleted below and stored above the layer within the so called `ozone reservoir layer'. During night elevated mountain sites are decoupled from the ground conditions and stay within this reservoir without a remarkable nocturnal decrease of ozone concentration. The regularly observed ground level ozone increase in the morning hours is firstly caused by down mixing from the reservoir. The conditions and dynamics are illustratively depicted by vertical profiles of the different components and diagrams of temperature and concentration isopleths over the height and the experiment time lasting over five days.
