Optimization of process parameters for mature landfill leachate pretreatment using MAP precipitation

Chemical precipitation is a useful technology as a pretreatment to treat mature landfill leachate with high concentrations of ammonium-nitrogen (NH4+-N) and refractory organic compounds. Orthogonal experiments and factorial experiments were carried out to determine the optimal conditions enhancing the magnesium ammonium phosphate (MAP) precipitation process, and the experimental results demonstrated that the removal rate of NH4+-N was more than 85% when MgO and NaH₂PO₄·2H₂O were applied as external sources of magnesium and phosphorous under the optimal conditions that molar ratio n(Mg)∶n(N)∶n(P) = 1.4∶1∶0.8, reaction time 60 min, original pH of leachate and settling time 30 min. In the precipitation process, pH could be maintained at the optimal range of 8–9.5 because MgO could release hydroxide ions to consume hydrogen ions. Calcium ions and carbonate ions existed in the leachate could affect the precipitation process, which resulted in the decrease of NH4+-N removal efficiency. The residues of MAP sediments decomposed by heating under alkaline conditions can be reused as the sources of phosphorous and magnesium for the removal of high concentrations of NH4+-N, and up to 90% of ammonium could be released under molar ratio of n[OH]∶n[MAP] = 2.5∶1, heating temperature 90°C and heating time 2h.     

微波法处理高浓度氨氮废水

对微波技术处理高浓度氨氮废水进行研究,分别考察了pH值、微波作用时间、曝气与否、初始氨氮浓度对去除率的影响。研究结果表明:pH和微波作用时间是影响氨氮去除率的关键因素,曝气可增强氨氮的去除率效果;浓度为500 mg/L的氨氮废水,在pH为10,微波作用时间为4 min时,曝气去除效果较好,去除率可达81.7%。     

磷酸铵镁法循环处理高浓度氨氮废水

提出了磷酸铵镁(MAP)法循环处理氨氮废水的新方法.在对MAP的热分解进行特性分析的基础上,利用MAP在100 ℃左右温度下直接进行热解2 h的产物来处理高浓度氨氮废水.研究表明,对于NH4 质量浓度为900 mg/L的废水,虽然随着循环进行氨氮去除率逐渐减少,但第5次循环后氨氮去除率仍然高于70%.此方法的特点是磷酸铵镁(MAP)热分解时,可回收高浓度氨水而不再需要投加大量的镁盐和磷盐,实现氨氮的回收和MAP的循环使用.     

味精生产流程中氨的污染特征及影响因素分析

对味精生产整个流程中氨的污染特征进行了定量观测,并对密切相关的因素进行回归分析.结果表明,味精生产流程中各环节都有氨的释放,其年通量达521kg,但不同工艺过程差异较大,在发酵车间氨的释放量最高,平均达880mg·(L·.min)^-1;而在制糖车间,氨的释放量最小,仅为0.07mg·(L·min)^-1.整个味精生产流程中氨的释放通量,与铵态氮浓度之间存在极为显著的直线正相关关系,而与硝态氮(包括亚硝态氮)浓度之间呈显著的指数相关关系;氨的释放通量尽管与其pH变化之间不存在显著的直线相关关系,但味精废水处理过程中却与其溶液中的pH变化之间存在着极为显著的直线相关关系.
