Biofiltration is a technology to treat urban stormwater runoff, which conveys pollutants, including heavy metals. However, the variability of metals removal performance in biofiltration systems is as yet unknown. A laboratory study has been conducted with vegetated biofilter mesocosms, partly fitted with a submerged zone at the bottom of the filter combined with a carbon source. The biofilters were dosed with stormwater according to three different dry/wet schemes, to investigate the effect of intermittent wetting and drying conditions on metal removal.Provided that the biofilters received regular stormwater input, metal removal exceeded 95%. The highest metal accumulation occurs in the top layer of the filter media. However, after antecedent drying before a storm event exceeding 3–4 weeks the filters performed significantly worse, although metal removal still remained relatively high. Introducing a submerged zone into the filter improved the performance significantly after extended dry periods. In particular, copper removal in filters equipped with a submerged zone was increased by around 12% (α = 0.05) both during wet and dry periods and for lead the negative effect of drying could completely be eliminated, with consistently low outflow concentrations even after long drying periods. 相似文献

Nutrient and sediment removal by stormwater biofilters: a large-scale design optimisation study 总被引:5,自引:1,他引:4
A large-scale column study was conducted in Melbourne, Australia, to test the performance of stormwater biofilters for the removal of sediment, nitrogen and phosphorus. The aim of the study was to provide guidance on the optimal design for reliable treatment performance. A variety of factors were tested, using 125 large columns: plant species, filter media, filter depth, filter area and pollutant inflow concentration. The results demonstrate that vegetation selection is critical to performance for nitrogen removal (e.g. Carex appressa and Melaleuca ericifolia performed significantly better than other tested species). Whilst phosphorus removal was consistently very high (typically around 85%), biofilter soil media with added organic matter reduced the phosphorus treatment effectiveness. Biofilters built according to observed 'optimal specifications' can reliably remove both nutrients (up to 70% for nitrogen and 85% for phosphorus) and suspended solids (consistently over 95%). The optimally designed biofilter is at least 2% of its catchment area and possesses a sandy loam filter media, planted with C. appressa or M. ericifolia. Further trials will be required to test a wider range of vegetation, and to examine performance over the longer term. Future work will also examine biofilter effectiveness for treatment of heavy metals and pathogens. 相似文献

In response to the growing concern over volatile organic compounds (VOCs), biofiltration is becoming an established economical air pollution control technology for removing VOCs from waste air streams. Current research efforts are concentrating on improving control over key parameters that affect the performance of gas phase biofilters. This study utilized diethyl ether as a substrate, nitrate as the sole nutrient nitrogen source within two co-currently operated trickle-bed biofilters, for over 200 days. The two pelletized medium biofilters were operated at a low empty bed contact time of 25 s, inlet gas flow rates of 8.64 m3/day, nutrient liquid flow rates of 1 liter/day, and COD loading rates of 1.8 and 3.6 kg/m3 per day, respectively. Operational parameters including contaminant concentration in the gas phase, nutrient nitrate concentration in the aqueous phase, and the frequency of biomass removal were considered. Special attention was given to the effect and the role of nitrate on VOC removal. Throughout the experiment, nitrate persisted in the liquid effluent and the ether removal efficiencies improved with increasing influent nitrate concentration, which suggest that the nitrate diffusion into the biofilms is rate determining. By increasing the concentration of oxygen in the feed to this biofilter from 21% (ambient air) to 50 and 100%, while maintaining an influent ether concentration of 133 ppmv and a feed nitrate concentration of 67 mg-N/liter, the performance of the biofilter was not significantly affected. These results suggest that nitrogen was rate limiting as a growth nutrient rather than as an electron acceptor for the respiration of ether. The results also indicated that removal of excess biomass is necessary to maintain long-term performance. However, the required frequency of biomass removal depends on operating parameters such as loading. 相似文献

A well-designed engineered soil for bioretention is important as it ensures that pollutant removal requirements are met. This laboratory study investigated the nutrient removal efficiency of bioretention media enhanced with 10% (by volume) additives from various waste materials (cockle shell, newspaper, printed paper, coconut husk and tyre crumb) and planted with Red Hot Chinese Hibiscus (Hibiscus rosa-sinensis), a common landscape shrub in tropical countries. The results showed that media enhanced with shredded newspaper demonstrated a significant improvement in total nitrogen (TN) removal (80.4%), compared to standard bioretention media (57.5%) without compromising total suspended solids (TSS) and total phosphorus (TP) removal, when dosed with actual runoff. The thick root system and rapid growth rate of the plant was proven to contribute to TN removal. This study concluded that shredded newspaper can be a potential addition to enhance bioretention media performance in treating stormwater, especially nutrient rich runoff from mixed development areas. 相似文献

Mathematical modelling of hydrogen sulphide emission and removal in aerobic biofilters comprising chemical oxidation 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Four different empirical expressions have been compared for estimating the removal of hydrogen sulphide (H2S) from wastewater by chemical oxidation during its treatment in an aerated biofilter. The relative importance of this removal process is considered in a mass balance proposed by an emission model. Two of the four models investigated were able to predict the mean H2S removed fraction within a confidence interval of 95% and they demonstrated good agreement with experimental data. Biodegradation and oxidation were the two main removal mechanisms in the biofilter whereas stripping and volatilization made only minor contributions. However they can be of significance when the emission rates are calculated. 相似文献

The ability to adjust the properties of the filter medium by altering the degree of the medium compression is important because the different porosities in media affect the ideal filter performance according to the properties of influent wastewater. This study therefore focused on the particle size distribution (PSD) of compressible media filter (CMF) effluents depending on the compression ratio (0–30%) and the filter bed depth (Layers 1–5) in order to evaluate the CMF performance. The results showed that the removal efficiency for particles larger than 10 µm was more than 90% while that for particles smaller than 10 µm was less than 85% of removal efficiency. From the power law fit, substantial decreases in the number of large‐sized particles were observed in the PSD. Particle removal efficiencies increased along with the average compression ratio increase. Furthermore, the results demonstrated that each layer in the bed had a different role in the filter performance, and it was found that a filter bed of about 0.45–0.60 m would be needed for the production of the desired effluent quality in this study. The detachment phenomenon was observed in particles larger than 5 µm, especially in 5–15 µm particles. 相似文献

ABSTRACTStormwater control measures (SCMs) are designed to mitigate the deleterious impacts of urban runoff on the water quality of receiving waters. To assess the cumulative effects of SCMs at the watershed scale, we monitored longitudinal changes in storm discharge and stream water chemistry at high temporal resolution in a suburban headwater stream in Charlotte, NC. SCMs significantly decreased or stabilized instream concentrations of reactive solutes (nitrate, soluble reactive phosphorus, and dissolved organic carbon) relative to the upstream control site. However, SCM outflows minimally influenced concentrations of less reactive solutes (major ions) which increased with urbanization. Additionally, instream concentration variability correlated with antecedent moisture conditions – representative of watershed storage availability – highlighting the role that SCM storage availability plays in the timing of solute delivery to the stream. Our results show that SCMs decrease instream concentrations of biogeochemically reactive solutes but the mitigation potential is temporally dynamic and influenced by antecedent conditions. 相似文献

The main objective of this paper was to evaluate the effectiveness of silica sand, crushed glass, peat, and geotextile as a medium in RBFs in the removal for organic matter, nutrients and bacteria from domestic wastewater based on a field-scale study. In particular, this field-scale study was conducted to treat domestic wastewater from a small community of 10 households from the Municipality of Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, Canada. The average influent 5d biochemical oxygen demand (BOD(5)) and total suspended solids (TSS) concentrations into the field filter system were 381+/-64 (mean+/-standard deviation) and 46+/-21 mg/L, respectively. The results showed that crushed glass could be an effective medium in RBFs since the crushed glass filter produced stable effluent BOD(5) and TSS concentrations of less than 20mg/L. Geotextile was found to be another successful alternative filter medium with the effluent BOD(5) and TSS of 18+/-11 and 11+/-7 mg/L, respectively, even though the porosity of geotexitle filter was as high as 0.90. Peat was not able to provide efficient performance due to its poor BOD(5) and NH(4)(+)-N removals. This study measured the water quality variation at different components of the RBFs. The results of this study showed that the recirculation tank was the main facilitator of the denitrification process. In addition, this study found that RBFs could efficiently treat domestic wastewater for BOD(5) removal under the organic loading rates as high as 0.070 kg/m(2)/d. 相似文献

为考虑混凝土应力状态对碳化深度的影响,在混凝土碳化深度模型中增加了应力影响系数。利用已有文献的试验数据,进一步研究了应力影响系数随混凝土应力比变化的规律,并分别建立了应力影响系数随混凝土拉、压应力比变化的计算式。将建立的应力影响系数计算式与既有的3组典型计算式进行了对比,结果表明,建立的应力影响系数计算式较合理,具有较高的预测精度。对规范中的应力影响系数计算式进行了评价,结果表明,在混凝土拉应力状态下,应力影响系数取值偏于不安全;相反,在混凝土压应力状态下,取值偏于保守,因此可将文中所提计算式作为规范中应力影响系数的修正式。 相似文献

Treatment performance of gravel filter media: implications for design and application of stormwater infiltration systems 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Stormwater infiltration systems are widely used to address the flow and water quality impacts of urbanization. However, their pollutant removal performance is uncertain, with respect to varying filter depth, and over time. Seven simulation experiments were conducted on a laboratory-scale gravel infiltration system to test the pollutant removal under a range of water level regimes, including both constant and variable water levels. Gravel filters were found to be very effective for removal of sediment and heavy metals under all water level regimes, even as the system clogged over time. Despite the sediment particle size distribution being much smaller than the filter media pore size, sediment and its associated pollutants were effectively trapped in the top of the gravel filter, even when the water level was allowed to vary. A media depth of 0.5 m was found to achieve adequate pollutant removal. Breakthrough of pollutants may not be of concern, since physical clogging occurred first (thus determining the lifespan of the filter media). However, gravel filters were less effective at nutrient removal, particularly for dissolved nutrients. 相似文献

The purpose of this study was to test the relative influence of organic matter quantity and quality and the pollutant content of a stormwater sediment deposit on mineralization processes, microbial characteristics, and the release of solutes in infiltration sediment systems. In microcosm experiments, two other natural sediment deposits (one low and one rich particulate organic matter deposits) were studied to compare their effects with those of the stormwater deposit. The results showed that the biogeochemical processes (aerobic respiration, denitrification, fermentative processes), the microbial metabolism (enzymatic activities), and the releases of several solutes (NH(4)(+) and DOC) were stimulated in presence of the stormwater deposit and the natural particulate organic matter (POM)-rich deposit because of the quantity of the POM in these deposits. In the stormwater deposit, the high availability of the POM (indicated by its low C/N ratio and its high P content) produced a higher stimulation of the microbial metabolism than in presence of the POM-rich deposit (with a high C/N ratio). Pollutant (hydrocarbon and heavy metal) contents of the stormwater deposit did not have a significant effect on microbial processes. Thus, main effects of the stormwater sedimentary deposit on infiltration system were due to its organic matter characteristics (quantity and quality). Such organic matter characteristics need to be considered in future studies to determine the contamination potential of stormwater management practices. 相似文献

Retention and removal of pathogenic bacteria in wastewater percolating through porous media: a review 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9
Properly designed biological filters or infiltration systems have the capacity to significantly reduce effluent concentrations of pathogenic microorganisms in wastewater. The retention and elimination of microbial cells in biological wastewater filter systems is influenced by several factors. In this review, these factors are discussed. Immobilization of microbial cells moving through a porous media is influenced by mechanisms such as physical straining as well as adsorption to porous media. The grain size of porous media and bacterial cell size are important factors affecting the straining of bacteria, as are the hydraulic loading rate or the extent of clogging layer development in the filter. Adsorption of cells to the porous media is influenced by the content of organic matter, degree of biofilm development, and electrostatic attraction due to ion strength of the solution or electrostatic charges of cell- and particle surfaces. The rate of inactivation of pathogenic microorganisms, in adsorbed or liquid phases, has been shown to be affected by abiotic and biotic factors such as moisture content, pH, temperature, organic matter, bacterial species, predation, and antagonistic symbiosis between microorganisms in the system. 相似文献
