Graphical effluent quality control for compliance monitoring: What is a violation?

Demonstration of compliance with discharge (effluent) requirements suffers because Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs) give neither the discharger nor the regulator information on the process mean which ensures compliance. To obtain this information, a simple graphical method is presented which takes into account process variability. This technique provides quality control specifications for the monitoring data and the process itself.

Carbon materials-catalyzed hydroliquefaction of flame-retardant plastics in organic solvents

Flame-retardant plastics, such as desktop and laptop personal computer bodies, could be completely liquefied by carbon materials-catalyzed hydroliquefaction in tetralin without using H₂ as a hydrogen source. Active carbons with larger surface areas (1450–3450 m²/g) acted as superior catalysts in transferring tetralin hydrogens to plastics. On the other hand, carbon blacks and fullerene-rich soot were less active catalysts. Graphite and mesocarbon microbeads did not show any catalytic effects. Benzene, toluene, and ethylbenzene were obtained as recyclable hydrocarbons; their total amounts varied from 4 wt% to 12 wt% depending on the types of plastics and the carbon materials used. Organic bromides such as polybromodioxins were not contained in the gases and oils of the product. Received: July 19, 2000 / Accepted: September 17, 2000

复合生物滤池处理H2S和NH3的研究:生物相机理分析

采用天然斜发沸石和木屑作为复合生物滤池(生物滴滤池+生物过滤池)的填料,研究了该工艺处理含H₂S和NH₃混合恶臭气体的生物相机理.结果表明:生物滴滤池中形成了由细菌、藻类及原生动物组成的复杂生态系统,而生物过滤池中真菌为优势微生物.生物滴滤池的下层优势菌种主要为葡萄球菌属和球形芽孢杆菌等细菌,中层主要为梨形四膜虫属和肾形虫属,上层主要为钟虫和舟形藻属;生物过滤池优势菌种主要是聚多曲霉菌种.据对复合生物滤池的生物相机理探讨推论,生物滴滤池去除H₂S和NH₃机理主要是生物链的分级捕食和沸石的吸附-生物再生机理;生物过滤池去除H₂S和NH₃机理主要是真菌降解.因此,通过控制生物滴滤池和生物过滤池处于不同的环境条件,可使复合生物滤池能高效地同时处理H₂S和NH₃组成的混合恶臭气体.      

蒲绒-芦苇机械混合复合材料的吸油性能

2010年本实验室开始生物质对柴油的吸附实验,和前人的结论一致,生物质热改性后其吸油和漂浮性能提高,但成本增加很多。受到前人复合吸油材料的启发,2012年开展了蒲绒-芦苇机械混合复合材料吸油和漂浮性能的研究,并采用正交实验对影响除油效果的因素进行优化。结果表明,蒲绒-芦苇复合材料较之芦苇吸油性能提高,且比各组分的叠加饱和吸油量还高。震荡使芦苇的漂浮率明显降低,但对蒲绒及复合材料的影响较小。正交实验结果显示,投加量0.7g,油膜厚度0.55 mm,不震荡时,蒲绒除油最佳;在相同条件下,粒径为380~500μm的芦苇除油最佳,蒲绒和该粒径的芦苇按质量比为1∶4混合成的复合材料的除油效果最佳。     

Uptake of Ni2+ and rhodamine B by nano-hydroxyapatite/alginate composite beads: batch and continuous-flow systems

Alginate encapsulated nano-hydroxyapatite beads were synthesized and characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, Brunauer–Emmett–Teller surface analysis, and X-ray diffraction. Their adsorptive potential for Ni²⁺ and rhodamine B was explored in batch mode and by fixed-bed column passage. In the batch system, maximum uptake capacity for Ni²⁺ was 360 mg g^?1 and 480 mg g^?1 for rhodamine B. In the presence of humic acid, sorption was enhanced. For the continuous-flow system, adsorption was effective at low flow rate. For both pollutants, mass transport resistance increased during adsorption. The overall rates of rhodamine B and Ni²⁺ uptake were found to be controlled by external mass transfer.     

Influence of the composition of the initial mixtures on the chemical composition,physicochemical properties and humic-like substances content of composts

The influence of the proportion of C- and N-rich raw materials (initial C/N ratio) and bulking agent on the chemical functional groups composition, humic-like substances (HS-like) content and physicochemical properties of composts was assessed. To achieve these goals, seven initial mixtures (BA1–6 and C1) of dog food (N-rich raw material) were composted with wheat flour (C-rich raw material). Composts were analyzed in terms of chemical functional groups, physicochemical, maturity and stability parameters.The C-rich raw material favored the formation of oxidized organic matter (OM) during the composting process, as suggested by the variation of the ratios of the peaks intensity of FT-IR spectra, corresponding to a decrease of the polysaccharides and an increase of aromatic and carboxyl-containing compounds. However, although with high proportion of C-rich raw material, mixtures with low initial C/N seems to have favored the accumulation of partially oxidized OM, which may have contributed to high electrical conductivity values in the final composts. Therefore, although favoring the partial transformation of OM into stabilized HS-like, initial mixtures with high proportion of C-rich raw material but with low initial C/N led to unstable composts.On the other hand, as long as a high percentage of bulking agent was used to promote the structure of biomass and consequently improve of the aeration conditions, low initial C/N was not a limiting factor of OM oxidation into extractable stabilized humic-like acids.

Electrochemical detection and degradation of ibuprofen from water on multi-walled carbon nanotubes-epoxy composite electrode

This work describes the electrochemical behaviour of ibuprofen on two types of multi-walled carbon nanotubes based composite electrodes,i.e.,multi-walled carbon nanotubes-epoxy(MWCNT) and silver-modified zeolite-multi-walled carbon nanotubes-epoxy(AgZMWCNT) composites electrodes.The composite electrodes were obtained using two-roll mill procedure.SEM images of surfaces of the composites revealed a homogeneous distribution of the composite components within the epoxy matrix.AgZMWCNT composite electrode exhibited the better electrical conductivity and larger electroactive surface area.The electrochemical determination of ibuprofen(IBP) was achieved using AgZMWCNT by cyclic voltammetry,differential-pulsed voltammetry,square-wave voltammetry and chronoamperometry.The IBP degradation occurred on both composite electrodes under controlled electrolysis at 1.2 and 1.75 V vs.Ag/AgCl,and IBP concentration was determined comparatively by differential-pulsed voltammetry,under optimized conditions using AgZMWCNT electrode and UV-Vis spectrophotometry methods to determine the IBP degradation performance for each electrode.AgZMWCNT electrode exhibited a dual character allowing a double application in IBP degradation process and its control.
