Effluent from the refining of crude palm oil was subjected to physical-chemical and biological treatment. An inclined corrugated parallel plates oil separator spaced at 25 mm was used with hydraulic loading rates of 0.2, 0.5 and 1 m3 m−2-h. 91% oil and grease removal could be achieved at 0.2 m3 m−2-h. Coagulation and flocculation carried out on batch samples after oil and grease separation revealed that with 100 mg l−1 alum addition BOD was reduced from 3500 to 450 mg l−1 and COD from 8600 to 750 mg l−1 after 30 min settling. Higher doses of alum and doses of polyelectrolyte, activated carbon and sodium hypochloride did not yield significant additional reductions in BOD and COD. Batch dissolved air flotation (DAF) removed 90% of the suspended solids with 2.7% solids in the thickened sludge at an A/S ratio of 0.014. This method yielded the similar effluent quality as the inclined corrugated plates oil and grease separator. Field data from a DAF plant compare closely with data achieved in this study. Activated sludge treatment on the effluent from the oil separator yielded a BOD of 46 mg l−1 with a loading rate of 0.3 g BOD (g MLVSS)−1-day. Total dissolved solids (TDS) remained high and removal through coagulation and chemical oxidation brought the COD level down to around 180 mg l−1. Biokinetic coefficients Y, kdK and K3 were found to be 0.85 g VSS (g BOD)−1, 0.016 day−1, 0.12 g BOD (g VSS)−1-day and 510 mg l−1 BOD respectively. 相似文献

A laboratory-scale study was conducted on two anaerobic filters at several loading rates and four hydraulic detention times. Feed substrates were landfill leachates taken from a recently opened landfill (Keele Valley) and from an older site (Brock North) which had been closed for about 8 years. The strong raw leachate from the new landfill had a COD of 14,000 mg l−1, a BOD/COD ratio of 0.7 and a COD/P value of 17,900. The partially stabilized leachate from the older landfill had a COD of only 3750 mg l−1, a BOD/COD ratio of 0.3 and a COD/P value of 30,640.Results from the treatment of the two leachates were compared with those from a previous study of a “mature” landfill (Beare Road). It was demonstrated that the anaerobic filter could reduce the COD of leachate from landfills of different ages by 90%, at loading rates of 1.26–1.45 kg COD m−3 d−1. Total biogas production ranged between 400 and 500 l gas kg−1 COD destroyed and methane content between 75 and 85%. No phosphorus addition was required over the loading range studied. 相似文献

A microbial amperometric sensor for the determination of the biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) determination using Trichosporon cutaneum cells immobilized in polyvinylalcohol has been developed. This sensor allowed BOD measurement with very short response times (< 30 s), an operation stability of 48 days and a serial coefficient of variation of ±3.3% when a sample solution containing 22 mg l−1 BOD was employed. A linear range was obtained up to 100 mg l−1 BOD using a glucose/glutamic acid standard. The sensitivity and specificity was increased by incubation of the BOD sensor with the respective wastewater. Comparable results were obtained for BOD values estimated by the biosensor and those determined by the 5-day method. 相似文献

Role of aquatic plants in wastewater treatment by artificial wetlands 总被引:12,自引:0,他引:12
This report describes investigations using artificial wetlands which quantitatively assess the role of each of three higher aquatic plant types, Scirpus validus (bulrush), Phragmites communis (common reed) and Typha latifola (cattail), in the removal of nitrogen (via sequential nitrification-denitrification), BOD and TSS from primary municipal wastewaters. During the period August 1983–December 1984, the mean ammonia concentration of 24.7 mg l−1 in the primary wastewater inflow (hydraulic application rate = 4.7 cm day−1) was reduced to mean effluent levels of 1.4 mg l−1 for the bulrush bed, 5.3 mg l−1 for the reed bed and 17.7 mg l−1 for the cattail bed, as compared to a mean value of 22.1 mg l−1 for the unvegetated (control) bed. For all three vegetated beds, the mean effluent ammonia values were significantly below that for the unvegetated bed and for the inflow. The bulrushes and reeds (in that order) proved to be superior at removing ammonia, both with mean effluent levels significantly below that for the cattail bed. The high ammonia-N (and total N) removal efficiencies shown by the bulrush and reed beds are attributed to the ability of these plants to translocate O2 from the shoots to the roots. The oxidized rhizosphere so formed stimulates sequential nitrification-denitrification. Similarly BOD removal efficiencies were highest in the bulrush and reed beds, both with mean effluent BOD levels (5.3 and 22.2 mg l−1, respectively) significantly below that for the unvegetated bed (36.4 mg l−1) and equal to or better than secondary treatment quality (30 mg l−1). Our results demonstrate that higher aquatic plants can indeed play a significant role in secondary and advanced (N removal) wastewater treatment by wetland systems, a role that is completely distinct from that associated with their pollutant uptake capacity. 相似文献

Treatment of palm oil sludge using the completely-mixed, suspended growth, continuous anaerobic fermentation system was studied in a laboratory scale. Biokinetic coefficients for system with and without solids recycle were evaluated. The treatment systems were effective in the removal of BOD, COD, and volatile suspended solids. The gas production rate averaged around 0.91 g−1 BOD utilized with an energy yield of 20,000 J g−1 BOD utilized for units with c greater than 25 days. The cm, minimum solids retention time, was calculated to be more than 10 days. Measured cm was, however, lower than 7 days. 相似文献

Performance of laboratory scale completely mixed activated sludge reactors fed with abattoir wastewater was measured at different dissolved oxygen (DO) concentrations. Degradation of fat present in the influent was inhibited at DO concentrations below about 0.5 mg l−1, leading to sludges with high fat content which settled poorly due to excessive numbers of filamentous microorganisms. Fat was degraded rapidly at higher DO concentrations (up to 4.0 mg l−1) and the sludge contained few filamentous microorganisms, a low fat content and settled readily. However, effluent quality was highest at low DO concentrations due to lower levels of soluble breakdown products from the fat.When wastewater was fed intermittently at constant aeration rate, sludge with a low fat content and good settleability resulted, even though the DO concentration was about 0.2 mg l−1 for more than 30% of the time. Effluent quality was also high. Thus it is concluded that for full-scale abattoir treatment plants where wastewater flow is intermittent, DO concentration may be low during periods of high loading without adversely affecting effluent quality or sludge settleability. 相似文献

In view of the desire to improve the water quality of the heavily polluted branches of the Shatt al-Arab River at the City of Basrah, it was proposed to maintain effective flushing as well as contracting sewerage system. The present study was conducted in order to examine the water quality of these branches in an attempt to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed flushing system. It has been found that their waters contained very low levels of dissolved oxygen and relatively high amounts of both COD and BOD5. The annual average water quality parameters for Basrah Branches were: dissolved oxygen 3.4 ppm; pH 7.67; hydrogen sulphide 1.4 ppm; ammonia 97 μg-at. N l−1; COD 15.9 mg l−1; BOD5 12.7 mg l−1; dissolved silicates 202 μg-at. Si l−1; dissolved reactive phosphate 13.4 μg-at. P-PO43− l−1; nitrate 10.4 μg-at. N-NO3− l−1; nitrite 2.1 μg-at. N-NO2− l−1 and chlorophyll-α 14.3 mg m−3. Based on our calculations, it has been concluded that the proposed system is effective, thus within a flushing cycle all of the above mentioned parameters will become within the acceptable values of the Shatt al-Arab water quality. Moreover, this system has no appreciable effect upon the water quality characteristics of the Shatt al-Arab River due to the fact that it discharges a high volume of water annually. However, It has been recommended to dredge the deposited sludge to a minimum depth of 50 cm. 相似文献

Eight milligrams per litre chlorine applied to oxidation pond effluents caused no algal kill within the first 2 h of contact. The available chlorine attacks bacteria causing coliform count to drop from 105 100 ml−1 to a few tens. Enterovirus counts dropped from about 80 100 ml−1 before chlorination to 37 100 ml−1 (after chlorination). Vibrio cholerae (El-Tor) were killed under these adverse conditions, and MPN dropped from 103 100 ml−1 in the influent wastes to 2 100 ml−1 in the effluents. A 5 mg l−1 dose of chlorine at 1 h contact time killed these sensitive bacteria decreasing MPN to less than 2 100 ml−1.Differences between the efficiency of chlorination experiments under laboratory and field conditions would necessitate the application of 15 mg l−1 chlorine for 2 h of contact. 相似文献

Sulfur dioxide is a reduced compound which acts as a positive interference in the chemical oxygen demand (COD) analysis. Significant amounts of sulfur dioxide present in industrial waste samples may therefore result in erroneously high COD values, compared to that of a sample with only the organic portion of the waste. By adding 65 mg l−1 Mn2+ to a secondary wastewater sample spiked with 500 mg l−1 sulfur dioxide, and oxygenating the sample for 6 min, sulfur dioxide was oxidized completely to sulfate. This oxidation procedure provides a statistically valid means of removing SO2 interference in the COD analysis. The procedure provides an efficient means of investigating the organic COD of industrial effluents laden with SO2 or its dissociation products. 相似文献

A laboratory scale anaerobic filter packed with synthetic high surface area trickling filter media was used to treat a low strength domestic wastewater averaging 288 mg 1−1 COD. The filter was operated for 60 days after reaching steady-state at 20, 25, 35°C at a loading rate of 0.02 lb COD ft−3 day−1 and 24 h hydraulic retention time. Filter effluent BOD5 averaged 38 mg 1−1 providing an average removal rate of 79%, and effluent COD averaged 78 mg 1−1, corresponding to a 73% removal rate. Removal efficiencies showed very little sensitivity to daily fluctuations in influent wastewater quality. The filter performance at 25 and 35°C was not significantly different, but BOD and TSS removal efficiency declined a: 20°C. Gas production averaged 0.027 ft−3 of gas per ft3 of influent wastewater, or 1.875 ft3 of gas per pound of influent COD. Gas composition averaged 30% nitrogen, 65% methane, and 5% carbon dioxide. Ammonia nitrogen and sulfides both increased during treatment. It is concluded that the anaerobic filter is a promising candidate for treatment of low strength wastewaters and that post treatment for sulfides and ammonia may be necessary. 相似文献

Preliminary studies were carried out on the leaching of copper, zinc, chromium, cadmium and lead from eight kitchen faucets by samples of raw, filtered and distributed Ottawa water, a sample of well water and deionized water containing 2 mg l−1 aqueous fulvic acid. Leaching was effected by allowing the test solutions to stand in the inverted faucets for two successive 24-h periods. Concentrations of the metals found in the leachates were copper: first leaching, 0.12–28.0 mg l−1, second leaching, 0.08-3.54 mg l−1; zinc: first leaching, 0.13-10.25 mg l−1, second leaching, 0.06-2.85 mg l−1; chromium: first leaching, < 1.0 × 10−3 − 0.395 mg l−1, second leaching, < 1.0 × 10−3−0.032 mg l−1; cadmium: first leaching, < 0.05 × 10−3−0.01 mg l−1, second leaching, < 0.05 × 10−3−4 × 10−3 mg l−1; and lead: first leaching, < 0.2−110.0 mg l−1, second leaching, < 0.2−82.0 mg l−1. The faucets containing lead-soldered copper joints released high concentrations of lead, particularly in the case of leaching with the aqueous fulvic acid solution. Under the conditions of the present investigations it is indicated that in some cases the concentrations of metals leached could lead to intakes in excess of the maximum permissible limits for these metals. However, further investigations will be required to determine the possible contribution of these faucets to metal intake under normal usage. 相似文献

The use of an upflow fixed bed reactor for treatment of a primary settled domestic sewage 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
This study presents and demonstrates results obtained from an half full-scale upflow fixed bed reactor (UFBR) treating a primary settled domestic sewage. This study used expanded clay with an effective size of 2.7 mm containing hematite and magnetite as a granular medium.The content of TSS in the effluent treated was always between 10 and 20 mg l−1 for bed depths ranging from 2 to 3 m and filtration rates of 3–6 m3m−2h−1.The profiles taken all along the reactor show that the activity of the biomass is constant over the whole height of the reactor. Moreover, an air/water volume ratio of 2:1 is amply sufficient to satisfy the oxygen demand of the biomass. The average removal efficiency based on the soluble COD remains virtually unchanged as a function of the filtration rate at about 70% of the influent. For a final BOD5 of 30 mg l−1, loadings of 4.5–8 kg BOD5m−3 can be applied. This corresponds to filtration rates of 3–6 m3m−2h−1. The removal efficiencies for BOD5 are then about 80%.After optimization of the backwashing conditions, the consumption of backwash water is about 5% of the volume of filtered water.Sludge measurements carried out during our experiments indicate an excess sludge production of 1 kg kg−1 BOD5 eliminated. The nature of these sludges is very similar to the biological sludges produced in the high rate activated sludge process.This study has made it possible to establish design parameters of an UFBR and to develop technology for applications. These results are applied to two wastewater treatment plants which began to operate in 1984: these plants serve population equivalents of 40,000 and 11,000. 相似文献

This reports presents the results of a simultaneous electroflotation and disinfection sewage treatment, after chemical coagulation and flocculation and in the presence of chloride ions at various concentrations. Theoretical studies had shown that anodic oxidation of chloride ions gives hyperchlorites (for pH 7.5) together with (if sufficient potential is provided) oxygen. A dynamic study was thus achieved. It appeared that for a given chloride concentration the chlorine production linearly increases with the current density and depends on the organic load (COD) and oxidation potential of the effluent (Figs 6, 7 and 8). The performances of the process were studied in the continuous mode on a small pilot plant, after treatment of the effluent with ferric chloride and an organic polymer (Fig. 2). In all experiments current density and chloride concentration were raised (respectively 100, 200, 300 A m−2 and from 300 to 3000 mg l−1). The results obtained showed that solid-liquid separation was improved over static clarification for 2 h (Table 3) and the disinfection efficiency was equal or better than that obtained with gaseous chlorine (Table 4, Fig. 9). For example at a 900 mg l−1 chloride concentration the three current density used give treated water containing less than 103/100 ml total coliforms (initial concentration 4.7 · 107/100 ml). These results have direct applications to the design of electroflotation units where a better plug flow should be sought. Moreover this process produces highly concentrated sludges. The utilization of ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) as an indicator of the viability of a biomass showed that the process is applicable to activated sludges with recycling. The experimental conditions required for this application are still uncertain and require further study. 相似文献

The performance of an aerobic submerged bed reactor applied to the treatment of a concentrated effluent was assessed. The wastewater employed was diluted stillage of alcohol distilleries, presenting a COD content of 3000–3500 mg l−1. The reactor was continuously operated during 200 days, corresponding to five residence times varying from 23 to 4.5 h. The results show that 60–80% of COD removal may be obtained with 10–16 h of residence time. The advantages of this type of reactor are pointed out and suggestions of improvement are also presented. 相似文献

The total biomass of Chlorella pyrenoidosa (two strains) Chlamydomas reinhardtii. Euglena gracilis. Anabaena flos-aquae and Plectonenema boryanum was determined after the algae were grown in waters from Sylvan, Pleasant and Pidgeon Lakes (all in northeastern Indiana) that had been supplemented with 0.1, 1 or 10% sewage effluents (Indianapolis and Crawsfordsville, Indiana). Biomass was found not to be significantly decreased when the total phosphorus was reduced by alkaline treatment from 7.20-3.50 mg l−1 (50 per cent reduction) for the Crawfordsville effluents. In another series of experiments Chlorella pyrenoidosa was grown in Sugar Creek water (west central Indiana) to which had been added 0.1. 1 or 10% sewage effluents that originated from a motel treatment system. Reactive sewage phosphorus was reduced from 15.4 to 7.44 mg l−1 (57 per cent reduction) by supplying the motel with non-phosphorus cleaning products. No significant reduction in algal growth was observed. Only when effluents were advanced treated so that reactive phosphorus levels were below 1.2 mg l−1 (92 per cent reduction) was algal growth significantly decreased. 相似文献

A laboratory study was carried out using the thermophilic anaerobic process to treat palm oil mill effluent containing 67,000 mg 1−1, COD, 31,800 mg 1−1 suspended solids and a pH of 4.5. Completely mixed reactors were operated to evaluate the effects of feed strength and solids retention times on the system's performance. A range of 5–35 days solids retention time was studied. COD reduction was 72% for the 5-day unit and greater than 90% for units having detention time 15 days or more. pH of all units was self adjusted to 7.4. Gas production was, in general, greater than 0.3 m3 kg−1 volatile solids feed. 相似文献

Studies on the toxicity of copper sulphate to stone loach Noemacheilus barbatulus (L.) in hard water
The toxicity of copper sulphate to Noemacheilus barbatulus was studied for 64 days in a water of total hardness 249 mg l−1 as CaCO3. The 63-day lc50 was approximately 0.25 mg Cu l−1. Larger fish survived longer, and at concentrations greater than 0.29 mg l−1 fish hid less during daylight. Noemacheilus surviving 0.12 mg Cu l−1 for 64 days shed copper when placed in clean water for 7 days: gill, muscle, eye and vertebrae lost significant amounts of copper during this period. The opportunity to shed copper during a short period when the poison supply to their tank failed, may have allowed fish exposed to 0.49 mg l−1 to live 12 days longer than expected. The sensitivity of Noemacheilus to copper, cadmium and zinc was compared with that of rainbow trout. Salmo gairdneri. 相似文献

A kind of polychlorinated biphenyl, Kanechlor 500, was selected as a representative industrial toxicant, and its effects on biochemical characteristics of the activated sludge and its behavior in the biological treatment process were observed at concentrations of 0, 1.5 and 10 μg l−1.The presence of PCB in synthetic sewage resulted in changes in the microflora and aldolase activity of the activated sludge even at low concentration of PCB such as to be 1 μg l−1, and it was also demonstrated that dosing PCB caused remarkable increase of the oxygen uptake activity. Furthermore, PCB was not found to undergo degradation to any appreciable extent during the aeration process nor as the result of anaerobic digestion, although low concentrations did not exert an influence on COD and BOD removal efficiency in the process. In synthetic sewage PCB was shown to undergo mobilization from the aqueous phase to the activated sludge as evidenced by a concentration factor on the order of 103–104. 相似文献

In order to fulfill the objective of a water control program based on frequent sampling in several wastewater treatment plants, rivers and lakes a simplified method for measuring COD was developed. The procedure, in this article called the RR-method, includes: small sample and reagent volume; rapid addition of a mixture of all reagents to the sample; exclusion of mercury; autoclaving at 120°C for 1 h in flasks with fitted glass stoppers. To avoid dilution before analysis the method has been adapted for wastewater (I: 10–300 mg O2 l−1) and fresh water (II: 10–100 mg O2 l−1).Parallel analyses on different types of water samples according to Standard Methods showed that the yield by the RR-method was about 10% lower (Table 2). With water from the wastewater treatment plant at Uppsala (COD around 20 mg O2 l−1), the two methods gave an identical result. The somewhat lower yield was mostly due to decreased dichromate concentration and oxidation temperature. The lower oxidation potential made correction for chloride interference unnecessary below 1 g Cl− l−1 (Table 1).The RR-method also showed a good correlation to the values for KMnO4-consumption. Parallel analyses of 318 samples from 14 wastewater receiving lakes gave the correlation coefficient r = +0.90 (Fig. 1). 相似文献

Laboratory activated sludge systems were operated at various COD:P ratios to study the effects of the influent phosphorus concentration on COD removal efficiency, cellular phosphorus, carbohydrate and protein contents, and alkaline phosphatase activity. In varying the COD:P ratio, the COD was held constant at 1000 mg l−1 and phosphorus concentrations of 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 9, 10, 20, 35 and 50 mg l−1 were used. The optimum COD:P ratio for this study was found to be 100:1. Increasing the phosphorus concentration in the influent above one percent of the influent COD did not provide for an increase in the COD removal nor for significant changes in the cellular protein and carbohydrate content or the alkaline phosphatase activity. 相似文献
