Abstract:
A magnified continuous-flow integrated reactor was developed and UV-assisted electrochemical (UAE) oxidation was adopted to treat leachate from a municipal sanitary landfill after biological process. The effects of hydraulic retention time and applied electric current density on the removal of CODCr and NH3-N were investigated, and UAE process and single electrochemical process compared to observe the synergetic effect. Based on analysis of UV-vis spectra (200~500 nm) and GC/MS, it was found that many small organic molecules such as organic carboxylic acids were generated in the process, which could be responsible for the improvement of biodegradability. The results showed that UAE process could treat landfill leachate effectively. Without pH adjustment and electrolyte addition, 74.3% of CODCr and 94.9% of NH3-N could be degraded in the UAE process at a retention time of 85 min and electric current density of 21.2 mA/cm2. Simultaneously, the BOD5/CODCr of leachate could reach at about 0.6, and its biodegradability increased by about 12 times.

Abstract(5234) PDF(552KB)(1750)
Abstract:
Electro-Fenton process with activated carbon fiber as the cathode and Ti/SnO2-Sb2O3 as the anode was used in the treatment of acetophenone wastewater. Effects of Fe2+ concentration and electric current density on acetophenone degradation were investigated. It was indicated that the phenyl in acetophenone molecular could be destroyed by electro-Fenton process and chemical oxygen demand (CODCr) of the wastewater decreased significantly. Compared with traditional two-dimensional electrode process in which no Fe2+ was added, the pollutant removal efficiency and current efficiency by electro-Fenton process were both higher. Current density has significant influences on the pollutant removal. Higher current density raised pollutant removal efficiency while lowering current efficiency. Under the conditions of electric current density 10.0 mA/cm2, Fe2+ 0.1 mmol/L and initial pH 4.0, the removal efficiencies of CODCr and acetophenone at 180 min were 58.96% and above 90%, respectively.

Abstract(5941) PDF(1018KB)(1854)
Abstract:
The bacterial diversity in the ASBR and SBR of the combined process, i.e. combined ozonation-ASBR/SBR sludge reduction with simultaneous nitrogen and phosphorus removal process was studied by molecular biological PCR-DGGE method before and after sludge reduction. The results indicated that the dominant bacterial communities in the ASBR were Firmicutes bacterium, β-proteobacterium, γ-proteobacterium and Bacteroidetes bacterium. The bacterial richness in SBR after sludge reduction was slightly increased compared with that before sludge reduction, but with high similarity (85%). The dominant bacteria diversity of SBR was not influenced significantly by the ozone dosage for sludge reduction. There were Firmicutes bacterium, Candidate division TM7, ammonia-oxidizing bacterium, Bacteroidetes bacterium, β-proteobacterium, Denitrifying bacterium, Pseudomonas sp and Nitrosococcus halophilus Nc4 in SBR both before and after sludge reduction. However, the number of Bacteroidetes bacterium, β-proteobacterium, Denitrifying bacterium and Nitrosococcus halophilus Nc4 in SBR after sludge reduction was slightly higher than that before sludge reduction.

Abstract(4267) PDF(806KB)(1461)
Abstract:
An anoxic-oxic membrane bioreactor (MBR) combination technology was used for treating campus domestic sewage. The sludge samples were collected every 24 hours to analyze the structure of biotic community and species composition in different periods. Meanwhile, the indicators of the sewage effluent and sludge quality were monitored and the relationship between biotic community structure and the removal rates of CODCr, NH4+-N and TP were studied. The results showed that during the running time, the flocculate structure of activated sludge changed among close-loose-tight-bulking, and the number of filamentous bacteria gradually increased, changing from 0 level, ±level, + level to ++ level.The change of the fauna community-Vorticellidae,Rotifera,Epistylis insects was found to have relation with sludge structure, and so the fauna community could be used as the indicator of sludge bulking as well as the time point of sludge discharging. The population size of microfauna and dominant fauna varied with the water quality, and the population of Sessile Vorticellidae,Cyst and Epistylis could be used as the bioindicator of CODCr concentration of the effluent.The dynamic relationship between the removal rates of NH4+-N,TP and microfauna community structure was not significant.

DU Ji-jun, TIAN Gang, ZENG Ping, LIU Yu, SHI Ying-jie, ZHANG Fan
2011, 1(2): 151-156. doi: 10.3969/j.issn.1674-991X.2011.02.025
Abstract(4832) PDF(667KB)(1852)
Abstract:
In an oxygen enriched pressure reactor, it was very important to present the molybdenite oxidation process using the curve about temperature and pressure. However, the measured temperature value could not reflect the gas temperature in reactor because of the influence of radiation and temperature rising. It was thus necessary to make a calibration to get the real gas temperature in reactor. An equation relating with environmental temperature, measured temperature and calibration temperature was set up based on the thermal equilibrium and general gas law. The parameters A and B were calculated through the empty reactor roasting experiment. As a result, the method of calibration temperature decided by the change of environmental temperature and the top measurement temperature of reactor was set up. The results showed that the equation fitted well with the real gas temperature. The relationship parameter R2 was 0.915 in empty reactor roasting experiment. The molybdenite roasting process in an oxygen enriched pressure reactor was analyzed by this calibration method. The oxygen temperature was found to decrease during molybdenite oxidation in an oxygen enriched pressure environment. The reaction started obviously when the pressure was 0.262~0.276 MPa and temperature was 456~481 K.

2011, 1(2): 157-161. doi: 10.3969/j.issn.1674-991X.2011.02.026
Abstract(5575) PDF(561KB)(1935)
Abstract:
Molybdenum oxide is an important raw material for steel and chemical industry. The conventional molybdenum oxide producing processes include reverberatory furnace roasting technology, rotary kiln roasting technology, multiple hearth furnace roasting technology, fluidized-bed roasting technology. In these conventional processes, the product quality was low with high concentration of SO2 (up to 2%) which was hard to be utilized and disposed, and could result in serious environmental pollution. An effective technology of roasting vulcanized molybdenum to produce molybdenum oxide with pure oxygen in the obturation dry condition was introduced, which could reduce the environmental pollution of SO2 and improve the quality of reaction product. Pure oxygen and molybdenum sulfide were roasted in the obturation dry reactor, with heating temperature less than 650 ℃ in the bottom part, the gas pressure in the reactor less than 0.4 MPa, the oxidizing reaction time between 35 and 50 minutes, and with the highest gas temperature 255 ℃.The results showed that the content of MoO3 in reaction product reached 93%, higher than that of the reaction product with the common productive technology (80%-85%), and the concentration of SO2 in flue gas was above 50% (in weight), thus having great practical value for utilization. The experiment proved that the new technology was feasible for MoO3 and SO2 recovery.

Abstract:
The atmospheric pollution and indoor environment pollution generated from benzene, toluene and xylene (BTX) of widely used in paint and coating had been widely concerned with. Adsorption and recycling treatment technologies as effective means of pollution control and solvent recovery were still the research focus. To explore simple, low-energy consuming and easy-to-disseminate test means for evaluating absorption and regeneration performance of adsorption materials was in favour of their industrial applications and dissemination in indoor air cleansing. Based on the simple, low-energy consuming and easy-to-disseminate principle, the experiment used self-made glass adsorption tube to perform tube adsorption and thermal desorption, and to carry out comparative tests on desorption and regeneration characters of BTX mixture with Viscose-based activated carbon fiber (VACF) and Granular coconut-shell activated carbon (GAC) as the adsorptive material, in combination with the analysis of thermal desorption and gas chromatography. The results showed that under room temperature, the adsorption rate of VACF was much better than that of GAC, with the usage of VACF less than that of GAC. Under constant temperature 120 ℃ and nitrogen purge rate of 50mL/min, the VACF showed a superior desorption rate with Benzene and Toluene than GAC. Moreover, it showed a lower desorption rate of Xylene from VACF than that from GAC.

2011, 1(2): 173-180. doi: 10.3969/j.issn.1674–991X.2011.02.029
Abstract(6194) PDF(814KB)(2021)
Abstract:
Based on the atmospheric dispersion model from VDI3784 guidelines of Germany, the influencing factors of plume rising height from Cooling Tower according to the meteorological and source emission parameters were analyzed. The results showed that compared to the wind speed, atmospheric stability had more important influence on the plume rising height. With the stability changing from strong unstabitily (A class) to strong stabitily (F class), the plume rising height gradually decreased, and the average range was 764 meters. With the wind speed changing from small calm wind (1 m/s) to the strong wind (20 m/s), the average plume rising height reduced 509 meters. The different source parameters’ effect on the maximum rising height was very small, and the rising height was likely to reach the maximum in certain weather conditions. But the effects of source emission parameters on the average rising height and minimum height were more obvious. The most influential parameters were temperature and gas flow rate, and the average range was 418 meters and 213 meters, respectively. But the variation effect of relative humidity and liquid water content in the flue gas on the average rising height was not significant.
