The aim of this work is optimising operating conditions for a possibleimplementation of a Biological Nutrient Removal (BNR) process in the Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) of Ciudad Real (Spain). Several factors (hydraulic retention times, anaerobic nitrate concentration, sludge age and wastewater biodegradability) were tested using a pilot scale VIP (Virginia Initiative Plant) activated sludge process and domestic wastewater from the full scale plant. Hydraulic retention times used did not cause changes in N and P removal. P removal was adversely affected by anaerobic NO3 - and improved with higher BOD5/COD ratios in wastewater. Influence of sludge age was very low in P removal, but N removal was mainly affected by this factor. Final operating conditions were selected taking into account their effects over one of both nutrients. COD and SS removal were always successful. N removal was also easily reached and the main difficulty was P removal. P sludge content was very low (2.5–4%) approximately and was also affected by the same factors tested. The main factor to improve P removal was supposed to be the organic wastewater composition. Wastewater characteristics were modified by using different sources from the WWTP. Volatile fatty acids (VFA) addition to the wastewater by using supernatant of the anaerobic sludge digesters seemed to be the best practical solution for a future BNR implementation in the WWTP.  相似文献

Photocatalytic treatment of real community wastewater using Fe-doped TiO2 nanofilm was prepared by modified sol-gel method together with a simple dip-coating technique. The process was investigated in a home-made batch photoreactor. The as-prepared nanocomposite film was characterized by UV-Vis diffuse, XRD, BET, and Fe-SEM analysis. The poultry processing wastewater was collected from Nakhonsawan Municipality. Subsequently, the photocatalytic treatment of the wastewater was performed using a home-made photoreactor operated in batch mode to demonstrate the effects of Fe-dopant concentration with various layer numbers. The catalysts were irradiated using four lamps of 15 W power that emitted visible light and performed at room temperature. The samples were collected every 15 min and analyzed for biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) and chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal efficiency compared to pure TiO2 nanofilm and direct photolysis. From the results, the mixture of rutile and anatase was obtained with the maximum specific surface area of 150.12 mg2/g and the average particle size of 39.95 nm for 3 layers of 0.15% wt/v Fe-doped TiO2. The BOD and COD value at 90 min time treatment was presented to be 8.87 and 32 mg L?1, respectively, in the presence of 0.15% wt/v Fe-doped TiO2 film photocatalysts. Moreover, atomic absorption spectrometric result ensured that no Ti contamination was detected in all parts of plants after watering by the treated water. Hence, the photocatalytic treatment markedly improved the quality of the community wastewater.  相似文献

MgFe2O4-MWCNT/Ag3VO4 photocatalyst was prepared for benefiting the visible region of solar spectrum. Prepared catalyst was characterized by using scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). Photocatalytic activity was measured by methylene blue (MB) decolorization under visible light obtained from a 105-W tungsten light bulb. Dye decolorization and its kinetics were followed up by means of a UV-vis spectrophotometer. Kinetic model of decolorization was found to be compatible with first-order kinetics. The effects of pH and concentration of MB solution on the decolorization efficiency were determined. Low and high pH conditions were found to be more effective in increasing the MB decolorization yield and rate. On the other hand, due to the low transparency of concentrated MB solutions, an increase on decolorization time and a lowering in decolorization yield were encountered. Thanks to the magnetic MgFe2O3 nanoparticles, 96% of the catalyst could be recovered by a simple magnetic bar. It was observed that simulated wastewater containing MB was also successfully decolorized showing that visible region-sensitive MgFe2O4-MWCNT/Ag3VO4 photocatalyst can be benefited as a potential, efficient, and reusable material for the removal organic pollutants in aquatic environment.  相似文献

Nitrogen removal from wastewater is usually severely inhibited under low temperatures. The wastewater enrichment using an external carbon source has the influence on the stability and efficiency of the nitrification and denitrification processes during the biological wastewater treatment. This paper reports the results of the study where the effect of temperature and addition of an external carbon source on the efficiency of wastewater treatment process were investigated. Nitrification and denitrification rates were determined in the laboratory-scale treatment system, operating under low-temperature conditions, ranging from 6 up to 15 °C. Ethanol was used as an external carbon source. The addition of ethanol resulted in the increase during the nitrification rate at lower temperature (up to 71% at 6 °C and up to 11% at 15 °C). Similar tendency was observed during the denitrification process. Denitrification rate increased up to 81% at 6 °C and up to 10% at 15 °C, respectively. Nitrification rate was slightly higher compared to the denitrification rate. Two-variable model equations for calculation of an external carbon amount required were based on the experimental data and in order to reach desirable process rate at particular wastewater temperature were developed. The independency from wastewater temperature and the amount of loaded carbon explicit interdependence between nitrification and denitrification rates were observed.  相似文献

The aim of the study was to determine the changes in suspension particle size identified in biologically treated wastewater, which was then treated in hydroponic system with use of engineering lighting by the light-emitting diodes (LED). The study was subjected to wastewater purified under laboratory conditions, in a hydroponic system using the effect of macrophytes Pistia stratiotes and growing algae. Measurement of particle size was made using a laser granulometer. Analysis of the results showed that the additional lighting of the hydroponic system with LED can significantly influence the ability of the suspension particles to agglomerate and, consequently, determine their sedimentation properties. In hydroponic system supported by additional lighting, more particles were observed with equivalent diameter D(3.2) smaller than 10 μm than those in the tank without additional lighting, indicating a higher reactivity of the particles. Determining the size of equivalent diameters D(4.3) allowed us to observe that in hydroponic system, particles of relatively small size predominate, which negatively affects the sedimentation process of the suspensions. Determination of particle size of suspensions consisting mainly of algae and the dynamics of their changes are the basis for specification of an effective method of removing particles from the system to protect the receiver from excessive suspension concentrations.  相似文献

The research and interest towards the use of constructed floating wetlands for (waste)water treatment is emerging as more treatment opportunities are marked out, and the technique is applied more often. To evaluate the effect of a floating macrophyte mat and the influence of temperature and season on physico-chemical changes and removal, two constructed floating wetlands (CFWs), including a floating macrophyte mat, and a control, without emergent vegetation, were built. Raw domestic wastewater from a wastewater treatment plant was added on day 0. Removal of total nitrogen, NH4–N, NO3–N, P, chemical oxygen demand (COD), total organic carbon and heavy metals (Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb and Zn) was studied during 17 batch-fed testing periods with a retention time of 11 days (February–March 2007 and August 2007–September 2008). In general, the CFWs performed better than the control. Average removal efficiencies for NH4–N, total nitrogen, P and COD were respectively 35%, 42%, 22% and 53% for the CFWs, and 3%, 15%, 6% and 33% for the control. The pH was significantly lower in the CFWs (7.08?±?0.21) than in the control (7.48?±?0.26) after 11 days. The removal efficiencies of NH4–N, total nitrogen and COD were significantly higher in the CFWs as the presence of the floating macrophyte mat influenced positively their removal. Total nitrogen, NH4–N and P removal was significantly influenced by temperature with the highest removal between 5°C and 15°C. At lower and higher temperatures, removal relapsed. In general, temperature seemed to be the steering factor rather than season. The presence of the floating macrophyte mat restrained the increase of the water temperature when air temperature was >15°C. Although the mat hampered oxygen diffusion from the air towards the water column, the redox potential measured in the rootmat was higher than the value obtained in the control at the same depth, indicating that the release of oxygen from the roots could stimulate oxygen consuming reactions within the root mat, and root oxygen release was higher than oxygen diffusion from the air.  相似文献

The number of Enterobacteriaceae, with particular attention given to the presence of Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae, was determined in hospital effluents and municipal wastewater after various stages of purification. The emission of these microorganisms to the ambient air near wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) facilities and to the river water, which is a receiver of the WWTP effluent, was also studied using fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and cultivation methods. The number of Enterobacteriaceae determined by cultivation and fluorescence methods in different kinds of sewage sample ranged from 0.5?×?10(3) to 2.9?×?10(6)?CFU/ml and from 2.2?×?10(5) to 1.3?×?10(8) cells/ml, respectively. Their removal rates during treatment processes were close to 99?%, but the number of these bacteria in the WWTP outflow was quite high and ranged from 5.9?×?10(3) to 3.5?×?10(4)?CFU/ml and from 1.1?×?10(5) to 6.1?×?10(5) cells/ml, respectively. In the river water and the air samples, the number of Enterobacteriaceae was also high and ranged from 4.1?×?10(3) to 7.9?×?10(3)?CFU/ml and from 3 to 458?CFU/m(3), respectively. The numbers of these microorganisms obtained from fluorescence and cultivation methods were statistically and significantly correlated; however, the analysis of the studied samples indicated that the FISH method gave values up to 10(3)-fold times greater than those obtained by the cultivation method. From a sanitary point of view, this means that the number of viable fecal bacteria is systematically underestimated by traditional culture-based methods. Thus, the FISH proves to be a method that could be used to estimate bacterial load, particularly in air samples and less contaminated river water.  相似文献

Drought conditions should magnify the effect of wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) effluent on river biogeochemistry. This study examined the impact of WWTP effluent on the Enoree River in the piedmont region of South Carolina during a period of significant drought. The Enoree River lacks impoundments, upstream agricultural runoff, and significant industrial point sources, so the single most important human influence on river chemistry is WWTP effluent. Water samples were collected from 28 locations on the Enoree River, 13 of its tributaries, and the effluent of four WWTPs. Effluent from the WWTP furthest upstream increased the salinity of the river and temporal variation and concentrations of most ions, especially nitrate, phosphate, sulfate, sodium, and chloride. The upstream WWTP set the downstream chemical composition of the river, with increasing proportions of chloride, sodium, and sulfate and decreasing proportions of dissolved silicon and bicarbonate. Downstream WWTPs had little or no impact on the chemical composition of the river. Mixing model results show that dilution was the dominant process of the downstream decrease in solute concentrations, but in-channel uptake mechanisms also contributed to declines in concentrations of nitrate, phosphate, and carbon dioxide. Despite dilution and uptake, the chemical signature of WWTP effluent was still evident 135 km downstream. These results lead to a better understanding of the effects of WWTP effluent on the biogeochemistry of rivers.  相似文献

Graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) is a photocatalyst with wide application in removal of organic pollutants. In this study, we designed a porous g-C3N4 (p-g-C3N4)/8-quinolinolato iron(III) (Q3Fe)/H2O2 system to enhance the organic pollutant removal efficiency by combining photocatalysis and Fenton interaction under neutral condition. The p-g-C3N4 was prepared through a two-step thermal oxidation reaction. Afterwards, Q3Fe-coupled p-g-C3N4 was prepared by an impregnating method. The 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP) photodegradation ratio and decomposition rate of the p-g-C3N4/Q3Fe/H2O2 system are approximately 5 and 18 times as high as those of individual p-g-C3N4 system, respectively. Besides, its degradation rate is 4.3 times as high as that in the p-g-C3N4/H2O2 system. Meanwhile, Q3Fe/g-C3N4 also exhibits higher activity than individual p-g-C3N4 in 2,4-DCP photo-decomposing. On the basis of the results of the radical trapping experiments and the Fe(II) concentration in different systems, the synergistic effect between photocatalysis and Fenton reaction is vital for the efficient pollutant degradation. The coupled system combining p-g-C3N4 with Q3Fe and H2O2 shows potential for efficient treatment of recalcitrant organic pollutants. The combined system in this work indicated a new idea for the decomposition of organic pollutants.  相似文献

This study presents the main results about the removal of the antibiotic cefotaxime (CTX) under simulated sunlight radiation using heterogeneous photocatalysis with titanium dioxide (TiO2) and zinc oxide (ZnO) in aqueous solutions. The effects of pH and catalyst initial load on pollutant removal were assessed considering the response surface methodology and a central composite circumscribed experimental design, which allowed to determine the optimized conditions that lead to a higher substrate elimination. Experimental results indicated that evaluated parameters have a significant effect on antibiotic removal in both TiO2 and ZnO suspensions. In addition, the role of photogenerated holes, hydroxyl, and superoxide anion radicals on CTX degradation was evaluated to clarify the reaction mechanism. Finally, analysis of the dissolved organic carbon content in solutions and the antibacterial activity of treated samples showed that photocatalytic treatments were able to reduce a considerable portion of the organic matter present in the systems and its antimicrobial activity.  相似文献

Nitrous oxide (N2O) contributes to greenhouse effect; however, little information on the consequences of different moisture levels on N2O/(N2O+N2) ratio is available. The aim of this work was to analyze the influence of different soil moisture values and thus of redox conditions on absolute and relative emissions of N2O and N2 at intact soil cores from a Vertic Argiudoll. For this reason, the effect of water-filled porosity space (WFPS) values of soil cores of 40, 80,100, and 120% (the last one with a 2-cm surface water layer) was investigated. The greatest N2O emission occurred at 80% WFPS treatment where conditions were not reductive enough to allow the complete reduction to N2. The N2O/(N2O+N2) ratio was lowest (0–0.051) under 120% WFPS and increased with decreasing soil moisture content. N2O/(N2O+N2) ratio values significantly correlated with soil Eh; redox conditions seemed to control the proportion of N gases emitted as N2O. N2O emissions did not correlate satisfactorily with N2O/(N2O+N2) ratio values, whereas they were significantly explained by the amount of total N2O+N2 emissions.  相似文献

This work focuses on the performance of a primary facultative pond, in a full-scale waste stabilization pond system, located in a temperate climate region (average air temperature in winter, 7.7°C; spring and autumn, 14.0°C; and summer, 19.9°C) in Puerto Madryn city??Argentine Patagonia (42°45??S; 65°05??W). Experimental work was conducted for 43?months in seven sampling points. During the experimental time frame, the influent flow rate increased from 12,000 to 15,500?m3/day; the surface organic loading ranged from 55 to 68?kg BOD5/ha·day and the theoretical retention time decreased from 31 to 24?days. The results indicate that a primary facultative pond performing in this region, to keep predominant facultative conditions and acceptable filtered biochemical oxygen demand (BOD5) removal, should be loaded with an organic loading rate of up to 60?kg BOD5/ha·day. The flow and organic loading increase affected the ammonium removal process, extending the period time in which ammonium removal was less than 50% and nitrate was not detectable; at first, this period occurred during winter strictly and then covered part of autumn and part of spring, too. Ammonium removal was clearly temperature dependent and directly related to chlorophyll a and nitrate concentrations (i.e. higher ammonia removals were reported under summer conditions when chlorophyll a and nitrate concentrations were higher), but was not linked with high pH values. The ammonium volatilization as a predominant removal process could be discarded, while ammonium nitrification?Cdenitrification and algal nitrogen uptake seems to be the dominant mechanisms.  相似文献

Ryegrass has increasingly been used in constructed wetlands for treatment of eutrophic wastewater. To properly match plant species with the characteristics of wastewater being treated, it is important to know the performance of plant species under different nitrate/ammonium (NO3 ?/NH4 +) ratios. We investigated ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) dry matter (DM) production and N accumulation under five NO3 ?/NH4 + ratios (100/0, 75/25, 50/50, 25/75, 0/100) in a hydroponic system. The results showed that ryegrass total DM, shoot DM, root DM and nitrogen (N) accumulation were greater under NO3 ?/NH4 + ratios of 50/50 and 75/25 than under other NO3 ?/NH4 + ratios, indicating that ryegrass can be best used in constructed wetlands for treating wastewater with such NO3 ?/NH4 + ratios to achieve high biomass production and efficient removal of N. On the other hand, for treating wastewater with either NO3 ? or NH4 + dominate the inorganic N, other plant species that are more adapted to such conditions should be explored.  相似文献

In this study, Extran (biodegradable surfactant) was used for the preparation of Fe3O4 nanoparticles by microemulsion process to improve removal efficiency of As(III) from aqueous solution. Fe3O4 nanoparticles were characterized by XRD, FTIR, FESEM, TEM, HRTEM, and VSM instrumental techniques. The effect of different parameters such as adsorbent dose, initial As(III) concentration, and solution pH were studied by response surface methodology (RSM) based on Box-Behnken design (BBD). The optimized condition for adsorption of As(III) from aqueous solution was obtained as adsorbent dose of 0.70 mg/g, solution pH of 7.7, and initial As(III) concentration of 33.32 mg/L. In this optimum condition, about 90.5% of As(III) was removed from the aqueous solution. Isotherm studies have been done at optimal condition, and it was observed that the Langmuir isotherm models were fitted well with experimental data having a high correlation coefficient of 0.993. From the Langmuir isotherm data, the maximum adsorption capacity of Fe3O4 nanoparticles was found to be 7.18 mg/g at pH 7.7 in room temperature. This study revealed that Fe3O4 nanoparticles can be used as an efficient, eco-friendly, and effective material for the adsorptive removal of As(III) from aqueous system.  相似文献

Soil aquifer treatment (SAT) is a cost-effective natural wastewater treatment and reuse technology. It is an environmentally friendly technology that does not require chemical usage and is applicable to both developing and developed countries. However, the presence of organic matter, nutrients, and pathogens poses a major health threat to the population exposed to partially treated wastewater or reclaimed water through SAT. Laboratory-based soil column and batch experiments simulating SAT were conducted to examine the influence of temperature variation and oxidation?Creduction (redox) conditions on removal of bulk organic matter, nutrients, and indicator microorganisms using primary effluent. While an average dissolved organic carbon (DOC) removal of 17.7?% was achieved in soil columns at 5?°C, removal at higher temperatures increased by 10?% increments with increase in temperature by 5?°C over the range of 15 to 25?°C. Furthermore, soil column and batch experiments conducted under different redox conditions revealed higher DOC removal in aerobic (oxic) experiments compared to anoxic experiments. Aerobic soil columns exhibited DOC removal 15?% higher than that achieved in the anoxic columns, while aerobic batch showed DOC removal 7.8?% higher than the corresponding anoxic batch experiments. Ammonium-nitrogen removal greater than 99?% was observed at 20 and 25?°C, while 89.7?% was removed at 15?°C, but the removal substantially decreased to 8.8?% at 5?°C. While ammonium-nitrogen was attenuated by 99.9?% in aerobic batch reactors carried out at room temperature, anoxic experiments under similar conditions revealed 12.1?% ammonium-nitrogen reduction, corresponding to increase in nitrate-nitrogen and decrease in sulfate concentration.  相似文献

The presented study shows the results of measuring soil respiration in typical burozems (Dystric Cambisols) under mixed Korean pine–broadleaved forests in the southern part of the Primorskii (Far East) region of Russia growing under conditions of monsoon climate. The measurements were performed in 2014–2016 by the chamber method with the use of a portable infrared gas analyzer. Relative and total values of the CO2 efflux from the soil surface on four model plots were determined. The intensity of summer emission varied from 2.25 to 10.97 μmol/(m2 s), and the total CO2 efflux from the soils of four plots varied from 18.84 to 25.56 mol/m2. It is shown that a larger part of seasonal variability in the soil respiration is controlled by the soil temperature (R2 = 0.5–0.7); the soil water content also has a significant influence on the CO2 emission determining about 10% of its temporal variability. The daily dynamics of soil respiration under the old-age (200 yrs) forest have a significant relationship with the soil temperature (R2 = 0.51). The pyrogenic transformation of Pinus koraiensis forests into low-value oak forests is accompanied by an increase in the СО2 efflux from the soil.  相似文献

The investigation was carried out on laboratory scale to assess the feasibility of upflow anaerobic sludge blanket reactor system as a pretreatment for hydrogenated vegetable oil industry wastewater with recourse to energy recovery. The reactor system operated at 35°C, resulted in COD removal efficiency in the range 98.9–80.1% at organic loading varying in the range 1.33–10 kgCOD/m3 day. The specific methane yield varied from 0.295–0.345 m3CH4/kgCODr. Hydraulic retention time, substrate concentrations, pH, and temperature were also varied to study the influence of operating parameters on reactor performance. The methane content decreased with increase in substrate loading rate, and varied from 53–66.7% under varying operating conditions. Impulse loading studies in terms of hydraulic, organic, and pH though resulted in destabilization of the reactor; however, the reactor rapidly achieved stable performance after steady operation.  相似文献

We assessed the effect of liming on (1) N2O production by denitrification under aerobic conditions using the 15N tracer method (experiment 1); and (2) the reduction of N2O to N2 under anaerobic conditions using the acetylene inhibition method (experiment 2). A Mollic Andosol with three lime treatments (unlimed soil, 4 and 20 mg CaCO3 kg?1) was incubated at 15 and 25 °C for 22 days at 50% and then 80% WFPS with or without 200 mg N kg?1 added as 15N enriched KNO3 in experiment 1. In experiment 2, the limed and unlimed soils were incubated under completely anaerobic conditions for 44 h (with or without 100 mg N kg?1 as KNO3). In experiment 1, limed treatments increased N2O fluxes at 50% WFPS but decreased these fluxes at 80% WFPS. At 25 °C, cumulative N2O and 15N2O emissions in the high lime treatment were the lowest (with at least 30% less 15N2O and total N2O than the unlimed soil). Under anaerobic conditions, the high lime treatment showed at least 50% less N2O than the unlimed treatment at both temperatures with or without KNO3 addition but showed enhanced N2 production. Our results suggest that the positive effect of liming on the mitigation of N2O evolution from soil was influenced by soil temperature and moisture conditions.  相似文献

Composting municipal wastewater sludge may generate composting wastewater (acid washer water and tunnel wastewater) with high ammonium–nitrogen (NH4–N) concentration; this kind of wastewater is usually generated in a rather small daily amount. A procedure of air stripping with catalytic oxidation was developed and tested with pilot-scale and full-scale units for synthetic disposal of the high NH4–N wastewaters from composting facilities. In air stripping, around 90% NH4–N removal efficiency was reliably achieved with a maximum of 98%. A model to describe the stripping process efficiency was constructed, which can be used for process optimization. After catalytic oxidation, the concentrations in the outlet gas were acceptable for NH3, NOX, NO2, and N2O, but the NH3 and N2O concentrations limited the feasible loading range. The treatment costs were estimated in detail. The results indicate that air stripping with the catalytic oxidation process can be applied for wastewater treatment in composting facilities.  相似文献

A stable and efficient Fe2O3/expanded perlite (Fe2O3-Ep) composite catalyst was synthesized by a simple hydrothermal method for degradation of refractory contaminants in heterogeneous photo-Fenton system. X-ray diffraction and FT-IR analyses confirmed the presence of the Fe2O3 in the synthesized catalyst. The catalytic activity of the Fe2O3-Ep catalyst was evaluated by the degradation of rhodamine B (RhB, 5 mg/L) and metronidazole (MET, 5 mg/L) in the presence of H2O2 under visible light irradiation. The Fe2O3-Ep catalyst exhibited high efficiency for degradation of RhB at a wide pH range from 2 to 10 and showed excellent catalytic property for decomposition of MET as well. The degradation ratio of RhB was achieved 99%, and the removal ratio of COD was 62% within 90 min at the best experimental conditions (0.5 g/L of Fe2O3-Ep catalyst, 2 mL/L of H2O2). Furthermore, iron leaching of the Fe2O3-Ep catalyst during the catalytic degradation reaction was negligible and the catalyst still exhibited high catalytic activity and stability after five cycles. These results show that the catalyst can be used as a highly efficient heterogeneous photo-Fenton catalyst for the degradation of non-biodegradable refractory pollutants in water.  相似文献
