According to literature reports and own research, PAHs presence in wastewaters is common. It was confirmed that PAHs are the components of municipal landfill leachate. Membrane techniques are one of the most interesting ways of removing PAHs from leachate.
The purpose of this article is to monitor PAHs concentration changes during the membrane (reverse osmosis - RO) leachate treatment processes. In the first stage of testing leachates were filtrated on the sand bed (pre-filtration). After the pre-filtration they were directed to the membrane module for the main filtration.
Sixteen PAHs listed by EPA were analyzed. The results with information on PAHs concentration in leachate samples were presented using HPLC with fluorescence detection (FLD). The changes in PAHs concentration were determined in leachate samples before and after pre-filtration as well as after RO. The decrease of PAHs concentration in the samples was observed after these processes. The total concentration of 16 PAHs in raw municipal landfill leachates amounted to 23.64–26.95 μg/L. The research confirmed the high efficiency in removal of PAHs while using a reverse osmosis (59–72%). Including the pre-filtration, the overall level of removed PAHs reached 81–86%. The average PAHs concentration after pre-filtration and RO was in the 4.46–4.99 μg/L range. The municipal landfill leachate with a high concentration of PAHs should be cleaned before it is discharged into the environment. 相似文献
The study of the interactions between those reactants has been made according to the following main topics :
As for THM formation, experiments conducted on simple organic compounds or on natural fulvic acids show important decreases in THM or TCAA formation after ozonation. It may be noticed, however, that the ozonation of surface waters may induce the formation of haloform precursors, usually with a low level of reactivity.
In water supplies containing bromide ions, oxidation of the latter through hypobromous acid may take place during the ozonation stage. Failing preozonation treatment, hypobromous acid is generated very rapidly during chlorination, thus inducing the formation of chloro- brominated organic compounds.
During the ozonation of fulvic acid solutions, the presence of small amounts of bicarbonate was found to improve precursor removal significantly.
It can be concluded that the partial analogy of the action of ozone or chlorine on aromatic structures, whether simple or complex (such as humic and fulvic acids), seems to indicate that the consequence of preozonation is the destruction, at least in part, of the most reactive sites for THM production, thus leading to a decrease of the volatile organochlorinated compounds formed during the post-chlorination. However, some ozonation products of natural waters are THM precursors, though of low reactivity. Then, in the presence of bromide ions, the formation of volatile organobrominated compounds may be observed during ozonation. 相似文献

At 100 psia (0.69 MPa) Xclean < Xcont
At 300 psia (2.1 MPa) Xclean?Xcont
At 500 psia (3.5 MPa) Xclean > Xcont
The effect of contamination on CHF was found to be a function of pressure, initial contaminant concentration, and the relative steam quality at which CHF conditions occur. These results are compared to data available in the open literature where Xclean is always greater than Xcont. A method for correlating these data is also illustrated. 相似文献
The experiments were conducted both on a synthetic water, with or without addition of humic substances, and on raw water from the Moulin-Papon dam. While iron was easily removed by simply increasing the pH measurement from 8.2 to 8.5 without intermediate oxidation, ozonation applied to water with a pH of nearly 8.4 did not enable the manganese to be removed with a low ozone dose (about 1 mg/L) unless a significant amount of bicarbonates (120 to 130 mg/L as CaCO3) were injected prior to the ozonation-filtration stage.
As it removes the manganese from the water, intermediate ozonation also removes the abatement of organics on the filters, and lowers the THM buildup potential. 相似文献

The operation of these water treatment systems has shown that safe and high quality pool water is obtained reliably and economically. One pool (Main Pool) is of Olympic size, the other (Learner pool) is designed especially for use by children. Both pools utilize a full corona discharge ozone water treatment system. They were the first ozone systems in the U.S. to be built for public pools using the process of ozonation, flocculation, filtration, ozone removal and residual chlorination.
An extensive testing program was initiated in cooperation with the Wisconsin Department of Health. The bacteriological water quality from these swimming pools was in compliance with Wisconsin State Health Regulations and the German DIN Standard 19,643.
The first year of operation of the Peck Aquatic Center has shown that the corona discharge ozone pool water treatment process can:
1) Operate reliably in a public swimming pool environment without the need for highly or special operator qualifications.
2) Produce continuously bacteria- and virus-free pool water without the harmful and unpleasant effects of chlorine.
3) Creates a user constituency group praising and promoting the use of “minimal chlorine swimming” in the community. 相似文献
Nine different samplers (impactors/impingers/cyclones/ electrostatic precipitators/filtration samplers) were subjected to comparative performance testing in this work. Their end-to-end cultivation-based biological sampling efficiencies (BSEs) and PCR-/microscopy-based physical sampling efficiencies (PSEs) relative to a reference sampler (BioSampler) were determined for gram-negative and gram-positive vegetative bacteria, bacterial spores, and viruses.
Significant differences were revealed among the samplers and shown to depend on the bioaerosol's stress–sensitivity and particle size. Samplers employing dry collection had lower BSEs for stress-sensitive bioaerosols than wet collection methods, while nonfilter-based samplers showed reduced PSEs for 1 μm compared to 4 μm bioaerosols. Several samplers were shown to underestimate bioaerosol concentration levels relative to the BioSampler due to having lower sampling efficiencies, although they generally obtained samples that were more concentrated due to having higher concentration factors.
Our work may help increase user awareness about important performance criteria for bioaerosol sampling, which could contribute to methodological harmonization/standardization and result in more reliable exposure assessments for airborne pathogens and other bioaerosols of interest.

The control strategies investigated and compared are multiloop SISO, 2-way decoupling and l-way decoupling. The control variables are the standard ones, i.e. reflux flow and boilup.
In most of the cases INA has been found to be a useful tool for design of the loops and for comparison of the different control approaches. INA has also been found to be useful for simultaneous tuning of the decouplers and the feedback controllers.
For 2-way decoupling the criterion to minimize interaction at the critical frequency for each primary feedback loop has been found useful in most, but not all, cases. The scheme can be designed by pure gains in the decouplers and there is no reason to introduce dynamics into the decouplers—the systems studied are already sufficiently rich in dynamics.
INA has been found to be a suitable vehicle for the choice between the two possible l-way decoupling schemes.
With the design approach taken, l-way decoupling has been found to provide considerably better control quality than 2-way decoupling in two of the six systems, the differences in control quality being small in the other cases.
The effect of model mismatching on the results, caused e.g. by process nonlinearities, is discussed and simple rules to decrease the parameter sensitivity for 2-way decoupling schemes are given. When model mismatching is considered, the advantage of l-way decoupling over 2-way decoupling seems to increase.
One deficiency of the INA design as used in this paper is that it does not single out the design which is to be preferred on the grounds of robustness. 相似文献

The raw water obtained from 100 different wells will be purified by a water treatment plant of 150,000 m3/day capacity. Considering the high iron content (0.05–0.15 mg/L) and manganese content (0.05–0.2 mg/L), the raw water fails to comply with the requirements of the potable water standard.
Since 1990, over a period of three years, we conducted water purification experiments in several stages. In these, three methods of oxidizing as well as single and double layer open rapid filters were applied to oxidize the manganese (and, to a lesser extent, the water) present in dissolved form, resp., to destroy various living organisms.
In the course of the experiments, it became clear that the chlorine and chlorine + air methods are efficient in case of a small quantity of iron to be oxidized and only 20–25% of the dissolved manganese content could be oxidized.
Neither of the two methods could ensure firm management of microbiological and bacteriological characteristics. The best results were obtained by ozone oxidation, in which case the chemical oxidizing process was almost fully completed and even the chlorine-resistant living organisms could be destroyed.
On the basis of the experiments carried out, the investment program of the water treatment plant was worked out and the conditions of an international tender were compiled whose winner will be commissioned to build up the water works in the time period 1993–1996. One of the main steps of the proposed technology is the ozone treatment. 相似文献
There has been a high degree of proliferation of new products in the form of new polymers, new grades of existing polymers, as well as filled, reinforced, alloyed versions. While this does introduce new degrees of freedom in material selection, it is a source of significant confusion for the design engineers who have to cope with selecting the preferred material from among the many that are available. The choices and data bases are becoming confusing.
Various forms of relatively exotic, aromatic-monomer chemistry are being applied, but the emphasis appears to be on new amorphous polymers.
High-performance requirements exist in virtually all segments of the plastics field; the major end uses are in aerospace, automotive, business machines, electrical/electronics, food packaging, and medical applications.
Foreign presence has strongly increased as European companies have increased imports or have purchased established product lines or business units.
There will be continued pressure on the performance plastics from the lower priced materials which are countering with upgraded, modified, alloyed versions of their own. There is also increased competition between thermoplastics and thermosets as the result of material developments and process refinements. 相似文献
The effect of ozonation on membrane flux was found to be largely dependent on raw water quality as well as ozone dose. In case of upstream water (A), preozonation achieved significant flux enhancement regardless of ozone dose. Whereas, for the downstream water (B), the steady state flux was increased or decreased depending on ozone dose.
The analysis based on the resistance-in-series model provided the mechanistic interpretation on the membrane flux variation. Ozonation in an ozone-ultrafiltration system always brought about a decrease in cake resistance (Rc) and an increase in fouling resistance (Rf). Based on the measurement of particle size distribution and zeta potential, the reduction in cake resistance through ozonation was attributed to an increase in particle size due to “ozone-induced particle destabilization”. However, the increase in the fouling resistance seems to be caused partly by the microbial characteristics of raw water.
Although there was little effect on TOC, ozone-UF treatment could get much higher removal of UV 254, THMFP (lday) and THMPF/TOC ratio than UF treatment alone. 相似文献
It has been indicated that the removal of the five species of aromatic nitro compounds by ozonation can well be expressed mathematically by first order reaction equations. Besides, the reaction constants and half-life periods for various species of the tested nitro compounds were calculated at different temperatures and pH.
An ozonation effect index (OI) was developed in the study to express the degree of degradation of substrates by ozonation, by means of which the five aromatic nitro hydrocarbons were compared with each other and finally ranked in the following order from greatest to smallest degrees of degradation:
p-nitroaniline > nitrobenzene > p-dinitrobenzene > p-nitrotoluene > m-dinitrobenzene
It has also found that the CODm/M ratio increases with ozone doses. This means that some easily degradable intermediates are produced, and increase in concentration with increase of ozone dose in the ozonation process.
The mechanisms of removing the five aromatic nitro hydrocarbons are discussed from the viewpoint of orienting effects of substituent groups on the aromatic rings. 相似文献
Further developments are expected in the field of lamp construction and also improvement of reactor geometry. A better knowledge of the aging of the lamps is required, as well as of the photochemical reactions of oxygen in the technologies applied.
Systems presently available are most promising for application on small scale or in areas of public water distribution which have no developed structure.
- oxido-flocculation, using Fe2+, H2O2
- inter-oxidation, using O3, H2O2 and eventually an heterogeneous catalyst.
- disinfection, using UV, O3 and H2O2 combinations.
Results show that triazines can be removed by all these processes with different efficiencies. At full scale, the O3/H2O2 process presents the best performances from an economical and technical point of view. 相似文献
High filtration rates were tested in this study. The 2.1m deep filters were run at a hydraulic loading rate (HLR) of 35 m/h with an empty bed contact time (EBCT) of only 3.6 minutes.
The important findings of this work are
?The high-rate biologically active carbon (BAC) filters met the objective of controlling ozone DBPs. These results confirm that high rate, low EBCT filters can provide significant biodegradation. Anthracite biofilters provided significantly less removal of ozone DBPs.
?The high rate BAC filters showed significant reduction of background HAAs. BAC reduced the background HAAs to below the long-term target of 30 μg/L. Anthracite biofilters did not exhibit HAA removal.
?Biological filtration with either media was ineffective for background THM removal. The long-term target of 40 μg/L could not be achieved without GAC adsorption. 相似文献
Experimental measurement of carbon dioxide absorption from mixture with air was performed in a pilot-plant column with expanded metal sheet packing irrigated with sodium hydroxide solution.
Resulting liquid and gas-side mass transfer coefficients are compared with values obtained from physical Absorption measurement of carbon dioxide into water and with measurement of gas-side mass transfer coefficient for sulphur dioxide in the same column.
The differences between determined values are discussed. 相似文献
