Abstract:
As a promising wastewater treatment technology, the membrane bioreactor (MBR) has higher demand in carbon-nitrogen ratio than the conventional biological treatment during denitrification, and the dissolved oxygen and carbon-nitrogen ratio are the important factors to the total nitrogen removal of MBR. Based on the conventional membrane bioreactor (CMBR), a modified hybrid membrane bioreactor (HMBR) was designed by combining with other technologies. The performance of modified HMBR and CMBR during long-term operation was compared. The results showed that although HMBR and CMBR manifested almost the same efficacies for CODCr and NH4+-N removals, HMBR could improve the TN removal efficiency, which was averagely 7.1% higher than that of CMBR, and shortened the start-up period, strengthened capabilities of shock loading resistance and showed faster speed of recovering normal. The biofilm surface of the BF had better nitrification ability and dehydrogenase activity than suspended sludge and bore half weight of total biomass of HMBR system. Under the disturbance of improper waste water, the biofilm surface of the BF showed stronger stability than suspended sludge, which enhanced the nitrogen removal ability and the stability of HMBR system. HMBR could prevent sludge bulking and slow down the pace of membrane fouling effectively and reduce about 15.3% of the extracellular polymer substances.

Abstract(3659) PDF(2583KB)(857)
Abstract:
For the new-type rotational flow grit chamber, the MRF model and the Discrete Phase Model were used to analyze the influence on sand removal efficiency of the internal flow field of the grit chamber, the trajectory of sand, the direction of impeller rotation and the relationship of the impeller movement and the water flow rate. The results showed that when the rotation direction of the impeller movement was different, the formation of axial circulation flow field was quite different, and the clockwise rotation was helpful to sand deposition and removal. When the paddle was stationary, the water flow rate had a certain impact on the sand settlement. When the water flow rate was small, more sand was accumulated in the grit chamber, and when the flow rate was larger, the escape rate of the sand also increased. When the water flow rate was constant, the variation of the paddle speed had some impact on the removal of sand. When the paddle speed was small, the formation of the forced vortex was not sufficient to move sand toward the center of the grit chamber. When the speed gradually increased, the formation of radial flow and strong axial flow was not conducive to the settlement and removal of sand.

Abstract(3090) PDF(718KB)(999)
Abstract:
A novel type of integrated A/O reactor was used to study influence of addition of sulfate on the starting-up of the integration A/O reactor. The results showed that if without addition of sulfate, CODCr removal rate in anaerobic zone was as high as 93%, and CODCr removal rate in aerobic zone was as high as 90%, after 23 days of start-up period. If with addition of sulfate and the CODCr/SO42- was 5:1, CODCr removal rate in anaerobic zone decreased to 90%, and CODCr removal rate in aerobic zone decreased to 80%. At the same time, the system’s pH, alkalinity, ORP, gas production, gas phase component of CH4, CO2 were respectively stably at 8.0-8.5, 1700 mg/L, -445 mV, 2.8 L/d, 27.9% and 52.5%, which showed that the integration A/O reactor had good stability when treating the wastewater contained sulfate.

Abstract(3276) PDF(448KB)(904)
Abstract:
Batch experiments were conducted to examine the adaptability of catalytic material zeotileartificial pillared by α-FeOOH (ZPF) using as fill-in material in the permeable reactive barrier (PRB) system. The concentration of Fe iron and the degradation of 2, 4-DNT in three circulating experiments using ZPF as catalyst were determined. Then, the ZPF filtrated and collected from the reaction solution was characterized by FTIR. The results demonstrated that the degradation of 2,4-DNT was ultimately stable in the ZPF-H2O2 reaction system, and the degradation rate was 48.2%, 43.3%, and 44.6%, respectively. The concentration of Fe ions maintained at low levels, and especially under neutral and alkaline conditions it was less than 0.3 mg/L, thus without changeable structure and secondary pollution toward the groundwater environment. ZPF could be used to repair such pollutants as nitrobenzene in the underground through catalytic oxidation.

Abstract(3405) PDF(890KB)(1310)
Abstract:
Based on the analysis of the spatial and temporal characteristics of surface water quality and their influencing factors in Baoji City, Shannxi Province, specific countermeasures were proposed to provide scientific evidence for surface water pollution controlling.The results demonstrated that the dominant pollutants were organics, and the heavy polluted areas were Caijiapoqiao, Guozhenqiao, Changxingqiao and Wolongsi. Moreover,the pollution gradually increased from upstream to downstream along the river. Surface water quality was generally improved in recent years and was improved markedly in Changxingqiao and Wolongsi of Weihe River mainstream. Though the water pollution was mainly caused by industrialization, living and agricultural pollution could not be ignored. It was suggested that countermeasures including ensuring ecological water demand in river, strengthening the industrial wastewater treatment, increasing domestic sewage treatment and enhancing agricultural pollution control should be carried out to improve the surface water quality of Baoji City.

Abstract(3346) PDF(894KB)(1410)
Abstract:
Based on the analysis of the industrial system of energy and coal chemical industry bases (ECCIBs), several optimization approaches were developed, such as extending the industry chains, broadening the ecologic niches, and strengthening the industry chain coupling. Ningdong ECCIB was selected to be the typical base for further analysis. The food chains (nets) of the base was analyzed and evaluated by the connectance between the enterprises and the waste recycling rate. It was concluded that the total connectance of Ningdong ECCIB was 0.378, which meant closer links existing between the industrial populations in the base, and the industry chains were basically reasonable. The solid waste recycling rate of Ningdong ECCIB was 10.69%, while the wastewater recycling rate was 9.91%, which meant that the solid wastes and the wastewater were not well reused. Accordingly, several optimization approaches were proposed for the Ningdong ECCIB, including carrying out the key technology research, developing complement chain -type industries, and establishing the enterprise alliances.

Abstract(3351) PDF(812KB)(976)
Abstract:
On the basis of the analysis of the groundwater samples collected from a village located in Baiyangdian Lake, the health risk assessment model recommended by US EPA was applied to evaluate synthetically the local residents’ health risk that was caused by groundwater contamination of non-formal solid waste dumping sites. The results showed that the target contaminants of the village groundwater were NO3- -N, NH4+ -N, Cr6+ and Hg. For exposure public of adults and kids, the health risk via dietary intake exposure path was largely higher than the health risk via dermal intake exposure path; exposure risk of adults via dietary intake was higher than kids via dietary intake and the exposure risk of adults via dermal intake was lower than kids via dermal intake. Among four kinds of target contaminants, Hg risk contribution rate was 98% and ranked the first place. Non-cancerous risk level of groundwater contamination was more than 1, so more attention should be paid to the residents’ health risk caused by non-formal solid waste dumping sites groundwater contamination.
