Environmental Impact on Coastal Waters off Rio De Janeiro Due to Sewage Discharge via Submarine Outfall

A survey was made in an area of 28 km² around the outlest of Ipanema's submarine outfall in order to evaluate the impact of the raw domestic sewage effluent on coastal waters. Nutrient concentrations, dissolved oxygen, particulate matter and other physico-chemical parameters were measured monthly for 15 months. Copper and lead concentrations were also determined for two of the samplings.

The outfall has been in operation for 18 years, and the parameters measured within the observation area appear to be in steady state. From the observed radial concentration gradients within the survey area, a real extension of the steady state distribution of particulate matter and of sewage-derived nitrogen was estimated. the stationary cloud of particulate organic matter was about 150 km². From its total inventory and the discharge rate, a mean residence time of the particles in the sea of 56 days is estimated, prior to their being decomposed by bacterial action or settling to the bottom. for sewage derived N (as ammonia or nitrate), the steady state amount (above background) covers an area of about 60 km² and leads to a mean residence time of 5 ± 1 days in the ocean. Phosphorus is readily absorbed by the phytoplankton.

The presence of temperature gradients established by cold upwelling waters controls the dispersion of the sewage material and the rising of the sewage plume to the surface waters.

Variations in the chemical properties of landfill leachate

Landfill leachates were collected and their chemical properties analyzed once every two months over a ten-month period from the Gin Drinkers' Bay (GDB) and Junk Bay (JB) landfills. The contents of solids, and inorganic and organic components fluctuated considerably with time. In general, the chemical properties of the two leachates correlated negatively (P<0.05) with the amounts of rainfall prior to the sampling periods. However, magnesium and pH of the leachates remained relatively constant with respect to sampling time. The JB leachate contained higher average contents of solids and inorganic and organic matter than those of GDB with the exception of trace metals. Trace metals were present in the two leachates in trace quantities (<1.0 mg/liter). The concentrations of average ammoniacal nitrogen were 1040 and 549 mg/liter, while chemical oxygen demand (COD) values were 767 and 695 mg/liter for JB and GDB leachates, respectively. These results suggest that the leachates need further treatment before they can be discharged to the coastal waters.     

MACROPHYTE STANDING CROP AND PRIMARY PRODUCTWITY IN SOME FLORIDA SPRING-RUNS1

ABSTRACT: A survey of 31 Florida spring-runs was conducted to estimate their submerged macrophyte standing crop and primary productivity. The standing crops of submerged vegetation were not significantly (p > 0.05) correlated to either total nitrogen (r = 0) or total phosphorus (r =?0.20) concentrations, but standing crops were significantly (p < 0.01) correlated to the percentage of the spring-run's water surface shaded by marginal vegetation (r =?0.76). Maximum daily rates of primary productivity were positively correlated with average submerged macrophyte standing crops (r = 0.81; p < 0.001) and inversely correlated with the degree of shading by marginal vegetation (r =? 0.43; p < 0.05).

悬浮态污泥的SRT对复合式A2/O工艺性能的影响

采用厌氧/缺氧/好氧复合工艺(复合式A2/O工艺)及其对照工艺(传统A2/O工艺),进行了悬浮态污泥SRT的变化对系统性能影响的试验研究结果表明,悬浮态污泥浓度与其SRT的关系仍符合劳伦斯-麦卡蒂方程式的导出公式所反映的变化趋势,但其同时和反应器中填料上的生物膜数量呈相反变化趋势在总HRT为12.76 h、COD容积负荷小于1.5kg·m-3·d-1、TKN容积负荷小于0.13kg·m-3·d-1、悬浮态污泥SRT为25～5 d、水温为12～15 ℃时,悬浮态污泥SRT的变化对COD的去除几乎没有影响,出水COD均小于50 mg·L-1;但SRT的变化对氮和磷的去除有较大的影响,当悬浮态污泥SRT大于10 d时,出水NH4+-N和TN浓度分别低于15 mg·L-2和20mg·L-1,随SRT的增大,TP的去除效率下降;附着态生物膜参与硝化过程,能够提高系统总的NH4+-N去除率20%～30%.悬浮态污泥SRT宜控制为10～15 d,这可在一定程度上解决或缓解传统A2/O工艺中硝化和除磷过程对污泥龄要求的矛盾.
