Interactions between iron and sulfide in domestic wastewater from a gravity sewer were investigated with particular emphasis on redox cycling of iron and iron sulfide formation. The concentration ranges of iron and total sulfide in the experiments were 0.4-5.4mgFeL(-1) and 0-5.1mgSL(-1), respectively. During anaerobic conditions, iron reduction kinetics were investigated and reduction rates amounted on average to 1.32mgFeL(-1)d(-1). Despite the very low solubility of iron sulfide, the reduced iron reacted only partly with sulfide to produce iron sulfide, even when dissolved sulfide was in excess. When a ferric chloride solution was added to sulfide containing anaerobic wastewater, the ferric iron was quickly reduced to ferrous forms by oxidation of dissolved sulfide and the ferrous iron precipitated almost completely as iron sulfide. During aerobic conditions, iron sulfide was oxidized with a half-life period of 11.7h. The oxidation rate of iron sulfide was significantly lower than that reported for the oxidation of dissolved sulfide. 相似文献

The results from this research suggest that both calcium phosphate precipitation and enhanced biological uptake play a role in phosphorus removal in the activated sludge process when a non-nitrifying, anaerobic-aerobic system is used to treat a low calcium wastewater. The primary removal mechanism was found to be biological uptake, as calcium phosphate precipitation accounted for only 15–27% of the total phosphorus removed. Calcium phosphate precipitation in the aerobic unit was enhanced because of the pH increase in that reactor. This was the result of low CO2 production (indicated by low specific oxygen uptake values) and intense aeration which caused excessive CO2 stripping in the aerobic unit 相似文献

Chemical precipitation of presettled domestic wastewater (secondary precipitation) was studied in three pilot-plants operating in parallel with alum, ferric iron and lime as precipitants. With all precipitants phosphates were effectively removed down to less than 0·1 mg P l−1. Total phosphorus removals were closely connected to the settling properties of the flocs. The factor that seemed to influence settling properties most was pH. In a favourable pH-range it was possible to achieve total phosphorus concentrations in the effluent of less than 0·5 mg P l−1. The COD removal was at an average 70, 60 and 55% with alum, ferric iron and lime as precipitants. 相似文献

Inhibition of sulfate-reducing and methanogenic activities of anaerobic sewer biofilms by ferric iron dosing 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Ferric iron is commonly used for sulfide precipitation in sewers, thus achieving corrosion and odour control. Its impact on the activities of sulfate-reducing bacteria and methanogens in anaerobic sewer biofilms is investigated in this study. Two lab-scale rising main sewer systems fed with real sewage were operated for 8 months. One received Fe3+ dosage (experimental system) and the other was used as a control. In addition to precipitating sulfide from bulk water, Fe3+ dosage was found to significantly inhibit sulfate reduction and methane production by sewer biofilms. The experimental reactor discharged an effluent containing a higher concentration of sulfate and a lower concentration of methane in comparison with the reference reactor. Batch experiments showed that the addition of ferric ions reduced the sulfate reduction and methane production rates of the sewer biofilms by 60% and 80%, respectively. The batch experiments further showed that Fe3+ dosage changed the final products of sulfate reduction with sulfide accounting for only 54% of the sulfate reduced. The other products could not be confirmed, but were not dissolved inorganic sulfur species such as sulfite or thiosulfate. The results suggest the addition of Fe3+ at upstream locations would minimize the ferric salts required for achieving the same level of sulfide removal. Fe3+ dosing could also substantially reduce the formation of methane, a potent greenhouse gas, in sewers. 相似文献

Characterisation of the impact of coagulation and anaerobic bio-treatment on the removal of chromophores from molasses wastewater 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The performance of a coagulation sequence using aluminium chlorohydrate (ACH) and a low MW polydiallyldimethylammonium chloride (polyDADMAC), and ferric chloride, for decolourising a high-strength industrial molasses wastewater was compared at bench scale. At their optimum dosages, ACH/polyDADMAC gave higher colour removal than FeCl3 (45% cf. 28%), whereas COD reduction was similar (∼30%), indicating preferential removal of melanoidins (a major contributor to the colour) by ACH/polyDADMAC. Size exclusion chromatography and fluorescence excitation-emission matrix spectrometry suggested that chromophoric Fe-organic complexes were formed during FeCl3 treatment of the molasses wastewater, which appeared to compromise decolourisation efficiency. Anaerobic bio-treatment of the wastewater enhanced the coagulation efficiency markedly, with FeCl3 achieving 94% colour and 96% COD removal, while ACH/polyDADMAC gave 70% and 56% removal, respectively. The improved decolourisation was attributed to the decrease in low MW organics (<500 Da) and biopolymers by the biological treatment, leading to reduced competition with melanoidins for interaction with coagulant/flocculant. For both the wastewater and the biologically treated wastewater, ACH/polyDADMAC treatment gave flocs with markedly better settling properties compared with FeCl3. 相似文献

Control of sulfide in sewer systems by dosage of iron salts: comparison between theoretical and experimental results, and practical implications 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Removal of sulfide species from municipal sewage conveyance systems by dosage of iron salts is a relatively common practice. However, the reactions that occur between dissolved iron and sulfide species in municipal sewage media have not yet been fully quantified, and practical application relies heavily on empirical experience, which is often site specific. The aim of this work was to combine theoretical considerations and empirical observations to enable a more reliable prediction of the sulfide removal efficiency for a given dosing strategy. Two main questions were addressed, regarding the dominant sulfur species that results from the oxidation of sulfide by Fe(III) and the dominant precipitation reaction between Fe(II) and sulfide species. Comparison of thermodynamic prediction obtained by an equilibrium chemistry-based computer program (MINEQL+) with experimental results obtained by dosing ferrous salts showed that the product of precipitation is FeS under all operational conditions tested. Regarding the reaction between ferric salts and sulfide species, analysis of thermodynamic data suggested that the dominant product of sulfide oxidation under typical pe/pH conditions prevailing in municipal raw wastewater is SO(4)(2-). However, comparison between sulfide removal in laboratory experiments conducted with multiple samples of raw municipal sewage with a varying composition, and the prediction of MINEQL+ showed the main sulfide oxidation product to be S(0). In order to reduce sulfide in sewage to <0.1 mgS/l a minimal molar ratio of around 1.3 Fe to 1 S should be applied when ferrous salts are used, as compared with a minimal ratio of 0.9 Fe to 1 S required when ferric salts or a mixture of ferrous and ferric salts (at a 2 Fe(III) to 1 Fe(II) ratio) are used. It appears that the high Fe to S(-II) ratios often recommended in practice can be reduced considerably by applying tight in-line control. 相似文献

The effect of hydraulic retention time on granular sludge biomass in treating textile wastewater 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Muda K Aris A Salim MR Ibrahim Z van Loosdrecht MC Ahmad A Nawahwi MZ 《Water research》2011,45(16):4711-4721
The physical characteristics, microbial activities and kinetic properties of the granular sludge biomass were investigated under the influence of different hydraulic retention times (HRT) along with the performance of the system in removal of color and COD of synthetic textile wastewater. The study was conducted in a column reactor operated according to a sequential batch reactor with a sequence of anaerobic and aerobic reaction phases. Six stages of different HRTs and different anaerobic and aerobic reaction time were evaluated. It was observed that the increase in HRT resulted in the reduction of organic loading rate (OLR). This has caused a decrease in biomass concentration (MLSS), reduction in mean size of the granules, lowered the settling ability of the granules and reduction of oxygen uptake rate (OUR), overall specific biomass growth rate (ìoverall), endogeneous decay rate (kd) and biomass yield (Yobs, Y). When the OLR was increased by adding carbon sources (glucose, sodium acetate and ethanol), there was a slight increase in the MLSS, the granules mean size, ìoverall, and biomass yield. Under high HRT, increasing the anaerobic to aerobic reaction time ratio caused an increase in the concentration of MLSS, mean size of granules and lowered the SVI value and biomass yield. The ìoverall and biomass yield increased with the reduction in anaerobic/aerobic time ratio. The HRT of 24 h with anaerobic and aerobic reaction time of 17.8 and 5.8 h respectively appear to be the best cycle operation of SBR. Under these conditions, not only the physical properties of the biogranules have improved, the highest removal of color (i.e. 94.1 ± 0.6%) and organics (i.e. 86.5 ± 0.5%) of the synthetic textile dyeing wastewater have been achieved. 相似文献

Aerobic granular sludge is a promising process for nutrient removal in wastewater treatment. In this work, for the first time, biologically induced precipitation of phosphorus as hydroxyl-apatite (Ca5(PO4)3(OH)) in the core of granules is demonstrated by direct spectral and optical analysis: Raman spectroscopy, Energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) coupled with Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), and X-ray diffraction analysis are performed simultaneously on aerobic granules cultivated in a batch airlift reactor for 500 days. Results reveal the presence of mineral clusters in the core of granules, concentrating all the calcium and considerable amounts of phosphorus. Hydroxyapatite appears as the major mineral, whereas other minor minerals could be transiently produced but not appreciably accumulated. Biologically induced precipitation was responsible for 45% of the overall P removal in the operating conditions tested, with pH varying from 7.8 to 8.8. Major factors influencing this phenomenon (pH, anaerobic phosphate release, nitrification denitrification) need to be investigated as it is an interesting way to immobilize phosphorus in a stable and valuable product. 相似文献

Biomass characteristics in three sequencing batch reactors treating a wastewater containing synthetic organic chemicals 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
The physical and biochemical characteristics of the biomass in three lab-scale sequencing batch reactors (SBR) treating a synthetic wastewater at a 20-day target solids retention time (SRT) were investigated. The synthetic wastewater feed contained biogenic compounds and 22 organic priming compounds, chosen to represent a wide variety of chemical structures with different N, P and S functional groups. At a two-day hydraulic retention time (HRT), the oxidation-reduction potential (ORP) cycled between -100 (anoxic) and 100 mV (aerobic) in the anoxic/aerobic SBR, while it remained in a range of 126+/-18 and 249+/-18 mV in the aerobic sequencing batch biofilm reactor (SBBR) and the aerobic SBR reactor, respectively. A granular activated sludge with excellent settleability (SVI=98+/-31 L mg(-1)) developed only in the anoxic/aerobic SBR, compared to a bulky sludge with poor settling characteristics in the aerobic SBR and SBBR. While all reactors had very good COD removal (>90%) and displayed nitrification, substantial nitrogen removal (74%) was only achieved in the anoxic/aerobic SBR. During the entire operational period, benzoate, theophylline and 4-chlorophenol were completely removed in all reactors. In contrast, effluent 3-nitrobenzoate was recorded when its influent concentration was increased to 5 mg L(-1) and dropped only to below 1 mg L(-1) after 300 days of operation. The competent (active) biomass fractions for these compounds were between 0.04% and 5.52% of the total biomass inferred from substrate-specific microbial enumerations. The measured competent biomass fractions for 4-chlorophenol and 3-nitrobenzoate degradation were significantly lower than the influent COD fractions of these compounds. Correspondent to the highest competent biomass fraction for benzoate degradation among the test SOCs, benzoate oxidation could be quantified with an extant respirometric technique, with the highest specific oxygen uptake rate (SOUR(benzoate), 0.026 g O2 h(-1) g(-1) XCOD) in the anoxic/aerobic SBR. These combined results suggest that operating SBRs with alternative anoxic/aerobic cycles might facilitate the formation of granular sludge with good settleability, and retain comparable removal of nitrogen and synthetic organic compounds. Hence, the practice of anoxic/aerobic cycling should be considered in wastewater treatment systems whenever possible. 相似文献

Chemically enhanced primary treatment (CEPT) in municipal wastewater treatment is particularly suitable for rapidly growing cities. The focus on CEPT process now might be the cost of chemicals and disposal of chemical sludge. In this study, the potential application of adsorbent made from CEPT sludge in CEPT wastewater treatment was investigated in various conditions, such as the adsorbent dosage, pH, and dosing modes of ferric chloride and adsorbent. It was found that sludge-derived adsorbent was a good way of sludge disposal while enhanced pollutants removal rate and reduced the fresh ferric chloride dosage. With the use of 10.0 mg L−1 of ferric chloride and 0.6 g L−1 of the adsorbent at the first stage simultaneously, the enhanced removal efficiencies of turbidity, UV254, COD, TP were 83.3%, 52.3%, 48.8% and 89.0%, respectively. The experiments showed that ferric chloride dose was reduced about 50%. The pH played a significant role in coagulation and adsorption process. 相似文献

Oxidation of sulfide under aerobic conditions by biofilms grown on municipal wastewater in 6 identical pipe reactors was investigated. The biofilms were grown at pH 7.6 and temperatures of 20 and 25 degrees C under aerobic-anaerobic transient conditions with pulse dosing of sulfide in the bulk water. The pulse dosing of sulfide served to simulate conditions in a gravity sewer located downstream of a pressure main. During growth of the biofilms, sulfide was pulse dosed in concentrations of 0, 0.5, 2.0 and 5.0 g Sm(-3) with a frequency of 1h(-1). Based on a series of batch experiments, kinetics and stoichiometry of sulfide oxidation by the sewer biofilms was investigated and a rate equation and a stoichiometric constant proposed. Sulfide oxidation kinetics was significantly faster for biofilms grown at sulfide loadings of 0.5, 2.0 and 5.0 g Sm(-3)h(-1) than for biofilms grown in the absence of sulfide. However, the kinetics of sulfide oxidation was relatively constant for biofilms grown at sulfide loadings above 0.5 g Sm(-3)h(-1). Mass balance calculations of dissolved oxygen and sulfur compounds suggested the oxidation product to be elemental sulfur. Further oxidation of elemental sulfur could not be documented. 相似文献

Iron crystallization in a fluidized-bed Fenton process 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The mechanisms of iron precipitation and crystallization in a fluidized-bed reactor were investigated. Within the typical Fenton’s reagent dosage and pH range, ferric ions as a product from ferrous ion oxidation would be supersaturated and would subsequently precipitate out in the form of ferric hydroxide after the initiation of the Fenton reaction. These precipitates would simultaneously crystallize onto solid particles in a fluidized-bed Fenton reactor if the precipitation proceeded toward heterogeneous nucleation. The heterogeneous crystallization rate was controlled by the fluidized material type and the aging/ripening period of the crystallites. Iron crystallization onto the construction sand was faster than onto SiO2, although the iron removal efficiencies at 180 min, which was principally controlled by iron hydroxide solubility, were comparable. To achieve a high iron removal rate, fluidized materials have to be present at the beginning of the Fenton reaction. Organic intermediates that can form ferro-complexes, particularly volatile fatty acids, can significantly increase ferric ion solubility, hence reducing the crystallization performance. Therefore, the fluidized-bed Fenton process will achieve exceptional performance with respect to both organic pollutant removal and iron removal if it is operated with the goal of complete mineralization. Crystallized iron on the fluidized media could slightly retard the successive crystallization rate; thus, it is necessary to continuously replace a portion of the iron-coated bed with fresh media to maintain iron removal performance. The iron-coated construction sand also had a catalytic property, though was less than those of commercial goethite. 相似文献

Phosphorus recovery by struvite crystallization in WWTPs: Influence of the sludge treatment line operation 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
Phosphorus recovery by struvite (MgNH4PO4·6H2O) crystallization is one of the most widely recommended technologies for treating sludge digester liquors especially in wastewater treatments plants (WWTP) with enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR). In this paper, phosphorus recovery by struvite crystallization is assessed using the rejected liquors resulting from four different operational strategies of the sludge treatment line. Phosphorus precipitation and recovery efficiencies of between 80-90% and 70-85%, respectively, were achieved in the four experiments. The precipitates formed were mainly struvite, followed by amorphous calcium phosphate and, in some experiments, by calcite. The highest global phosphorus recovery taking into account both the sludge line and the crystallizer was achieved when mixed thickening and high elutriation were carried out (8.4 gP/kg treated sludge). However, low struvite content was obtained in the crystallizer with this operation scheme due to the high calcium content in the elutriation stream. Therefore, if the final purpose is to obtain struvite, the reduction of the elutriation flowrate is widely recommended in the case of high water hardness. 相似文献
