Experimental investigation on removal of coal-fired fine particles by a condensation scrubber

The removal of coal-fired fine particles by heterogeneous condensation of water vapor in a scrubber was investigated. Supersaturated vapor phase necessary for the condensation growth of fine particles was achieved in the scrubbing zone as well as in the top of the scrubber by means of steam addition in the gas inlet and above the scrubbing liquid inlet, respectively. The condensation grown droplets were then removed by the scrubbing liquid and high-efficient demister. Influences of the steam addition amount, the temperature difference between the inlet gas and scrubbing liquid, and the liquid-to-gas ratio, etc. on removal efficiency were examined. The results show that with a steam addition amount of flue gas, number removal efficiencies of more than 60% and 70% can be attained for the two cases of steam addition, respectively. For the cases with steam addition in the gas inlet of scrubber, higher temperature difference between the inlet gas and scrubbing liquid enhances the removal of fine particles. Under the conditions of steam addition above the scrubbing liquid inlet, the removal efficiency decreases with increasing temperature difference. The removal efficiency can be effectively improved by increasing the liquid-to-gas ratio for both steam addition modes.

Remediation of phenanthrene contaminated soils by nonionic surfactants enhanced soil washing coupled with ozone oxidation

In the present work, soil washing followed by ozone oxidation for remediation of phenanthrene (PHE) contaminated soils was investigated. The PHE removal efficiencies of TX-100 and Brij-35 at 3000 mg/L were 80.2% and 73.8%, respectively. In the ozone oxidation process, the oxygen supply rate was more rapid and the ozone concentration in the water rose quickly after 2 h. The degradation efficiencies for PHE, Brij-35, and TX-100 at 20 mg/L ozone concentration were 99%, 99%, and 45%, respectively. Our investigation suggests that coupling ozone oxidation with surfactant-enhanced soil washing is an effective method for removing hydrophobic compounds from soils.     

Comparison of the Cake Layer Removal Options during Determination of Cake Layer Resistance (Rc) in the Resistance-In-Series Model

The resistance-in-series (RIS) model should be used cautiously, particularly in the experimental determination of the cake layer resistance (R_c) which is determined by calculation of a series of flux data that are obtained empirically before and after removing the cake layer on the membrane surface. However, the calculated R_c values are very dependent upon the cleaning methods used for removing the cake layer. Therefore, this study investigated how the various cleaning methods influence the determination of R_c. Four different cleaning methods were used: water rinsing in a shaker, manual water rinsing, ultrasonication, and sponge scrubbing. For the hydrophilic membrane, sponge scrubbing removed the cake layer completely, whereas the other methods showed removal efficiencies ranging from 79% to 99%. For the hydrophobic membrane, none of the options achieved complete cake layer removal. In addition, sponge scrubbing was not the best option for cake removal, indicating that even a method with the potential to completely remove the cake layer on a specific membrane is not universal for every kind of membrane. Consequently, a standardized method for cake layer removal to determine cake resistance (R_c) is needed for correct interpretation of the fouling phenomena with the RIS model.     

Experimental Investigation on the Microbial Inactivation of Domestic Well Drinking Water using Ozone under Different Treatment Conditions

The effect of ozonation on the microbial activities of domestic well drinking water was investigated, and the influence of the treatment conditions such as pH, temperature, ozone dose, and contact time was elucidated by comparing removal efficiencies. The results revealed that the disinfection of the microorganisms was related to an increase in contact time and thereby increases in Ct values with ozone. Higher ozone doses led to a large amount of microbial inactivation. The addition of hydroxyl and hydronium ions contributed greatly to the destruction of any microorganism in both acidic and basic mediums, achieving 25–88% efficiencies.     

Removal efficiencies of endocrine disrupting chemicals by coagulation/flocculation, ozonation, powdered/granular activated carbon adsorption, and chlorination

Removal efficiencies of endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs), bisphenol A and nonylphenol, during various types of water treatment processes were evaluated extensively using laboratory- and pilot-scale experiments. The specific processes of interest were coagulation/flocculation sedimentation/filtration (conventional water treatment process), powdered activated carbon (PAC), granular activated carbon (GAC), ozonation and chlorination. Batch sorption tests, coagulation tests, and ozone oxidation tests were also performed at higher concentrations with 14 EDCs including bisphenol A. The conventional water treatment process had very low removal efficiencies (0 to 7%) for all the EDCs except DEHP, DBP and DEP that were removed by 53%, 49%, and 46%, respectively. Ozonation at 1 mgO₃/ L removed 60% of bisphenol A and 89% of nonylphenol, while chlorination at 1 mg/L removed 58% and 5%, respectively. When ozone and chlorine doses were 4 and 5 mg/L, respectively, both EDCs were not detected. PAC removal efficiencies ranged from 15% to 40% at 3 to 10 mg/L of PAC with a contact time of 15 minutes. In the high concentration batch sorption tests, EDC removal efficiencies by PAC were closely related to octanol-water partition coefficient (K_ow). GAC adsorption was very effective water treatment process. The type and service time of GAC did not affect EDC removal efficiencies. The combination of ozonation and GAC in series appears to remove EDCs effectively to safe levels while conventional water treatment could not.     

Wet scrubbing intensification applied to hydrogen sulphide removal in waste water treatment plant

Hydrogen sulphide removal in a waste water treatment plant at semi‐industrial scale in a compact wet scrubber has been investigated. The gas residence time in the scrubber was reduced to 30 ms using a NaOCl caustic scrubbing solution. The contactor is composed of a wire mesh packing structure where liquid and gas flow co‐currently at high velocity (>12 m s⁻¹). H₂S removal percentages higher than 95% could be achieved whereas a moderate pressure drop was measured (<4000 Pa). Both the hydrodynamic and chemical conditions can influence the efficiency of the process. Correlations were developed to predict both the pressure drop and the H₂S removal efficiency at given operating conditions.

Gaswaschanlagen für saure und basische Abgase unter Berücksichtigung der neuen TA-Luft

Gas scrubbing plants for acid and caustic exhaust gases with consideration of the new TA-Luft . When designing gas scrubbing plants for acid and caustic exhaust gases from manufacturing plants of the chemical and pharmaceutical industry it is important to pay special attention to the aerosol formation which occurs in the exhaust gas systems and absorbers if the emission values should remain under the determined limit values stated in the Technical Instructions for air-pollution control (TA-Luft). The present study explains under what conditions aerosols can occur, how its formation can be prevented, and which gas scrubbers are appropriate for a combined gas-/aerosol separation. A comparison between two exhaust air scrubbing plants of several stages shows that a gas scrubbing plant for an exhaust air pick-up system with separation of the acid and caustic components as well as with source exhaust air pick-up of the highly charged gas flows is considerably more favourable with respect to price than the alternative scrubbing plant for an integrated exhaust air system in which large quantities of fine salt aerosols occur and have to be separated with high energy consumption.     

A review of chemical absorption of carbon dioxide for biogas upgrading

Significant attention has been given to biogas production, purification and upgrading as a renewable and clean fuel supplement. Biogas is a product of an anaerobic digestion process comprising methane, carbon dioxide, and trace amounts of other gases. Biogas purification removes trace gases in biogas for safe utilisation. Biogas upgrading produces methane-rich biogas by removing bulk carbon dioxide from the gas mixture. Several carbon dioxide removal techniques can be applied for biogas upgrading. However, chemical absorption of carbon dioxide for biogas upgrading is of special significance due to its operation at ambient or near ambient temperature and pressure, thus reducing energy consumption. This paper reviews the chemical absorption of carbon dioxide using amine scrubbing, caustic solvent scrubbing, and amino acid salt solution scrubbing. Each of these tech-niques for biogas upgrading is discussed. The paper concludes that an optimised implementation of the chemical absorption techniques for biogas upgrading requires further research.     

Ozone Gas Scrubbing for Air-Operated Ozone Generation Systems

In laboratory testing as well as in tests using a semi-technical plant it was found that removal of the gaseous N₂O₅ as a by-product of ozone generation from air can be realized from a chemical point of view by gas scrubbing using treated drinking water, and forming nitric acid. At the same time this measure accomplishes a reduction of the trichloronitromethane (TCNM = chloropicrin) concentration in the treated water from Lake Constance by 30%. Surprisingly it was also found that the material used herein (stainless steel DIN 1.4571) will be attacked under conditions such as these.     

Oxidation of 1,3,5‐trichlorobenzene using advanced oxidation processes

The oxidation of 1,3,5‐trichlorobenzene (TCB) by ozone, ozone/UV, ozone/H₂O₂ and ozone/UV/H₂O₂ was studied. All studies were conducted in a continuously‐flowing completely mixed reactor (CFCMR), operated at steady‐state conditions using a hydraulic retention time of 10 minutes. The greatest removal of TCB using ozone/H₂O₂ treatment was achieved using a H₂O₂ concentration of 60 μM. At low pH values (approx. 2) ozone/UV performed significantly better than either ozone alone or ozone/H₂O₂. However, at circumneutral pH, the removal efficiencies of TCB by ozone/UV and ozone/H₂O₂ and ozone/UV/H₂O₂ were essentially equal (～ 97% for TCB). The removal efficiency of ozone alone was ～93% for TCB. At high pH (> 9) there was no advantage in supplementing ozone with either UV or H₂O₂ as the removal efficiencies for all processes studied were essentially equal.

The effect of humic acid and bicarbonate on the removal of TCB was studied. At 1.6 mg/L humic acid, 92–95% of the TCB was oxidized by the processes studied. The removal of TCB by ozone alone was significantly affected by the presence of bicarbonate ion. For the other processes at 10 mM bicarbonate, approximately 80% of the TCB was oxidized.     

The Use Of High Concentration Ozone For Water Treatment

The use of high concentration ozone (HCO) in potable water treatment has been examined at laboratory scale with a gaseous concentration of 19% w/w. This has been compared with conventionally generated ozone at 1.5% w/w. The results of the study have shown that greater transfer efficiencies and higher ozone residuals are possible with HCO. In addition, faster rates of atrazine removal and significantly greater reductions in color and trihalomethane formation potential (THMFP) were observed with HCO.     

Removal of fine particles in wet flue gas desulfurization system by heterogeneous condensation

A novel process to remove fine particles with high efficiency by heterogeneous condensation in a wet flue gas desulfurization (WFGD) system is presented. A supersaturated vapor phase, necessary for condensational growth of fine particles, was achieved in the SO₂ absorption zone and at the top of the wet FGD scrubber by adding steam in the gas inlet and above the scrubbing liquid inlet of the scrubber, respectively. The condensational grown droplets were then removed by the scrubbing liquid and a high-efficiency demister. The results show that the effectiveness of the WFGD system for removal of fine particles is related to the SO₂ absorbent employed. When using CaCO₃ and NH₃·H₂O to remove SO₂ from flue gas, the fine particle removal efficiencies are lower than those for Na₂CO₃ and water, and the morphology and elemental composition of fine particles are changed. This effect can be attributed to the formation of aerosol particles in the limestone and ammonia-based FGD processes. The performance of the WFGD system for removal of fine particles can be significantly improved for both steam addition cases, for which the removal efficiency increases with increasing amount of added steam. A high liquid to gas ratio is beneficial for efficient removal of fine particles by heterogeneous condensation of water vapor.

Co-treatment systems combined with unit processes for dye wastewater recycling

In this paper, co-treatment systems were configured to recycle dye wastewater by combining unit processes such as membrane separation, ozone oxidation and electrolysis. In our previous study of co-treatment with membrane separation and ozone processes (modes 1–3), it was found that ozone oxidation with enriched oxygen was effective in removing dye wastewater. Additional two co-treatment systems (mode 4: membrane separation and electrolysis and mode 5: mode 4 + ozone process with enriched oxygen) were configured in this paper and operated continuously for 24 h. Compared to our previous results, co-treatment systems with electrolysis were found to further enhance the removal efficiencies of organic matter, T-N and T-P by 4, 20 and 15%, respectively. Especially, their color removal efficiencies were about 75–85 and 93% with modes 4 and 5, respectively, indicating that co-treatment with electrolysis is an excellent system in color removal.

Preliminary Investigations On The Reactivity Of Ozone Considering Energy Supplied To Ozone Generators

A simplified engineering analysis developed by investigations of the energy levels and the data of ozone decomposition is presented. Experiments have been conducted by generating ozone from the same ozone generator by two ways and keeping the hydrodynamic conditions identical during ozonation. Ozonation conducted in various media such as gas, gas-liquid and gas-solid supports the assumptions of the presence of excited ozone species and variation in reactivity. The variation in reactivity linked with ozone generation shows an increase in the case of sawdust bleaching. The reactivity is the same for the removal of total organic carbon from water, and a higher ozone decomposition without significant reaction with methyl red solutions and coliform inactivation is observed.
