Significance of iron compounds in chemical and electro‐oxidation treatment of sugar industry wastewater: Batch reaction

Industrialization plays a major role in a nation's growth. However, with an increase in industrial activities, pollution levels are also increasing. Among all industries, the sugar‐processing industry is one that requires large amounts of water to process the sugar, and, consequently, it discharges large amounts of water as effluent. Highly polluted wastewater brings changes to the physicochemical characteristics of the surrounding environment. Iron compounds have had a significant impact when they are used in wastewater treatment in various applications, including when they are used to minimize the pollution levels in sugar industry wastewater (SIWW). To minimize the pollutant levels from SIWW, iron compounds have been key for uses in treatments involving chemical and electro‐oxidation. Two different methodologies of electrocoagulation and chemical coagulation have been used to treat SIWW. In electrocoagulation, an iron plate is used as an electrode material under specific operating conditions. Ferrous sulfate and ferric chloride have been used as chemical coagulants at various pH and mass loading levels. The use of iron metals shows an 82% reduction in chemical oxygen demand (COD) and an 84% reduction in color at the optimum condition of pH 6, an electrode distance of 20 millimeters, and a current density of 156 square centimeters. As a chemical coagulant, iron salt (ferrous sulfate) provides a reduction of 77% COD and a 91% reduction of color at pH 6 and a 40‐millimole mass loading. Electrochemical treatment using iron was found to be suitable to treat SIWW. The sludge generated after treatment can be burned or composted with the possible recovery of some of the treatment costs.     

蚯蚓对土壤中有机化学成分组成的影响

蚯蚓是最为重要的土壤动物之一,不仅可以改良土壤结构和肥力,还能促进土壤矿物风化。为研究蚯蚓风化土壤矿物的机理,弄清蚯蚓对土壤中有机化学成分的影响,我们以甲醇为浸提剂浸提蚯蚓处理过的土壤和无蚯蚓的土壤,对提取物硅烷化衍生处理后,用GC-MS进行了分析。结果发现无论是蚯蚓处理过的土壤还是无蚯蚓的土壤,提取物中种类最多的化学物质是烃类,其次是酯类;腈类种类虽非常少,但相对含量却非常高。蚯蚓处理的土壤与无蚯蚓的土壤二者之间有机化学成分确实有很大的不同:从蚯蚓处理过的土壤中共发现了22种特有成分,从无蚓蚓的土壤中共发现了26种特有成分。虽然蚯蚓处理的土壤和无蚯蚓的土壤均检测到了微量的有机酸,但无论是酸的种类还是数量二者间均无明显差异。另外,检测结果也未发现铁载体。因此,蚯蚓诱导的微生物对土壤矿物的风化应该是在土壤矿物局部区域发挥作用,其风化机理用连宾的综合效应假说解释更为合理。

融雪对土壤溶解性有机质溶析作用的影响

利用土壤浸提实验和土柱淋洗实验,考察了化学离子的种类与浓度对进入融雪径流的土壤溶解性有机物(DOM)的含量和光谱学特性的影响,以及不同化学特征的积雪融化过程中土壤DOM的释放规律.土壤浸提实验结果表明,随着Na~+、Mg~(2+)和Ca~(2+)浓度的升高,土壤浸提液中的溶解性有机碳(DOC)浓度显著降低;随着Cl~-、SO_4~(2-)、Mg~(2+)和Ca~(2+)浓度的升高,土壤浸提液中波长254 nm处的紫外吸光度(UV-254)逐渐降低;随着Na~+和Mg~(2+)浓度的升高,土壤浸提液中单位浓度DOC的紫外吸收值(SUVA)值逐渐升高.NO_3~-、SO_4~(2-)和Na~+的浓度过高或过低时,土壤浸提液中DOM的类腐殖酸和类富里酸荧光峰强度较低;随着Cl~-、Mg~(2+)和Ca~(2+)浓度的升高,土壤浸提液中DOM的类腐殖酸荧光峰强度逐渐降低.土柱淋溶实验结果表明,类腐殖酸和类富里酸荧光物质是土壤淋滤液中的主要荧光物质.与纯水相比,融雪水作为淋洗液导致土壤淋滤液中DOC浓度的降低,以及类微生物代谢产物荧光峰强度的增高.冻融交替抑制DOM自土壤解吸进入淋滤液,并且导致土壤淋滤液中芳香族化合物相对含量的降低.

Improving biodegradation potential of domestic wastewater by manipulating the size distribution of organic matter

Carbon source is a critical constraint on nutrient removal in domestic wastewater treatment. However, the functions of particulate organic matter (POM) and some organics with high molecular weight (HMW) are overlooked in the conventional process, as they cannot be directly assimilated into cells during microbial metabolism. This further aggravates the problem of carbon source shortage and thus affects the effluent quality. Therefore, to better characterize organic matter (OM) based MW distribution, microfiltration/ultrafiltration/nanofiltration (MF/UF/NF) membranes were used in parallel to fractionate OM, which obtained seven fractions. Hydrolysis acidification (HA) was adopted to manipulate the MW distribution of dissolved organic matter (DOM) and further explore the correlation between molecular size and biodegradability. Results showed that HA pretreatment of wastewater not only promoted transformation from POM to DOM, but also boosted biodegradability. After 8 hr of HA, the concentration of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) increased by 65%, from the initial value of 20.25 to 33.48 mg/L, and the biodegradability index (BOD5 (biochemical oxygen demand)/SCOD (soluble chemical oxygen demand)) increased from 0.52 to 0.74. Using MW distribution analysis and composition optimization, a new understanding on the characteristics of organics in wastewater was obtained, which is of importance to solving low C/N wastewater treatment in engineering practice.
