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
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
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
This comparison was undertaken on three models of natural organic compounds : an aquatic fulvic acid, a protein and a disaccharide. The first results showed the following order of relative efficiency: O3/TiO2 > O3/H2O2 > O3 as far as Total Organic Carbon (TOC) removal was concerned. 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
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
Prechlorination was not conducted in the ongoing pilotplant experiment of an advanced water purification process with ozone and granular activated carbon. It is necessary, therefore, to oxidize manganese by the oxidative effect of ozone instead of prechlorination.
It is important for the treatment of manganese to adjust the ozone dosage because manganese is oxidized up to the soluble septavalent state by the surplus ozone. Since ozone does not continue to exist for very long in water, though its disinfecting power is high, final disinfection by chlorine is required. 相似文献

All these considerations have led us to use static mixers to transfer ozone into water. This process enables us to control the ozone concentration in water and detention time. It is a very simple system, with very low maintenance requirements due to the lack of moving parts. Civil engineering is minimized. A pilot scale study is presented here. It took place at the Méry-sur-Oise water treatment plant, on a pilot plant working at 8-12 m3/h. It is composed of a static mixer for the transfer of ozone from gas to liquid, linked to an air lift to separate gas from liquid, providing ozonated water.
The optimization of transfer was achieved by studying the impact of water flow, gas flow and ozone concentration in the gas. It is possible to reach 90% of transfer in less than 15 s. Headloss (ΔP) across the mixer is a function of gas and water flows and remains economically very acceptable as 0.15 bar for 12 m3/h.
Atrazine removal was studied using a static mixer, an air lift and a contact pipe 80-m long, providing an optimum contact time phase, working as a plug flow reactor. Ozone and H2O2/O3 treatments were compared. The maximum reduction of atrazine concentrations (e.g., for an infinite contact time) is a function of the amount of transferred ozone, but H2O2 influences the kinetics of the reaction. In the presence of H2O2 with a ratio of H2O2 to O3 of 0.4 w/w, maximum elimination is reached in 2 min 30 s.
The effect of such treatments on environmental bacteria also was followed. A counting of total germs at 20°C showed a decrease of 1- to 3-logs 10 after 1 min 30 s of contact time for about 2 mg/L of transferred ozone. No significant difference between treatments with or without H2O2 was shown. The same conclusions were obtained from heterotrophic plate counts (37°C) and epifluorescence countings. 相似文献
Twenty bacterial strains capable of aftergrowth were isolated starting from ozonized surface water, from water of subterranean origin, and from a mixture of these two types of water. Six typical strains were used to determine the importance of the temperature factor on aftergrowth in five types of waters of different characteristics.
Three criteria for the evaluation of aftergrowth are: the growth rate factor (r2), the growth yield (maximum number of germs/mL when growth stops), and the latency time (in hours). The results, in triplicate, obtained from growth curves then were submitted to an analysis of variance by two cross classifications.
It was established that aftergrowth is related to the classical Pseudomonas and Azobacter families, but also to the species of Bacillus, Corynebacter, Micrococcus, Vibrionaceae, and even Enterobacter. Furthermore, it has been proven that the temperature factor is most important in all aspects, as an increase in water temperature enhances all growth characteristics: shortening of the lag-phase; increase in growth-rate factor; and yield.
Under practical conditions, the significant growth delay is very important. With Pseudomonas putida, the lag-phase is on the order of three days at +7.5°C and 10 hours at +17°C. 相似文献
The results obtained in the field confirm the synthesis of some aliphatic carbonyl compounds of low molecular weight. This phenomenon happens preeminently during the ozone disinfection process and, secondarily, during the other disinfection processes.
Experimental results show that, in this last event, chlorine reacts with organic substances, and in a second moment, after organics consumption, if chlorine is still in a sufficient concentration, oxidizing them. 相似文献
Group 1: 19 patients with carcinoma of the cervix. Group 2: 20 patients with carcinoma of the ovaries. Group 3: patients with chronic conditions (80% patients with rheumatoid arthritis), shortterm study (34 patients). Group 4: patients with chronic conditions (80% patients with rheumatoid arthritis), long–term study (47 patients). A further breakdown into statistical categories in groups 1 and 2 showed no significant changes in the immunoglobulins examined, including the vitamin A and lysozyme values.
A short-term influence in group 3 became evident through a significant increase in immunoglobulin G, whereas no significant decrease was observed in all immunoglobulins in group 4. An immunosuppressive effect of the ozone applied could not be detected in any of the 4 groups. 相似文献
For equivalent contact times, it was found that two orders of magnitude more E. coli survived under the second post-ozonation condition when compared with the first condition. There was also a significant difference associated with the mixing intensity in the contactor, with the higher power input resulting in less efficient inactivation of E. coli.
The results confirm the importance of designing an ozone contactor to promote the maintenance of aqueous ozone in the contactor. In addition, optimum ozone mass-transfer may require different contacting conditions than those required for optimum disinfection performance. It was concluded that the design of ozone contactors should consider the use of at least two-stages: one optimized for ozone mass-transfer and one optimized for disinfection contacting. 相似文献
A commonly proposed method for controlling .VOC emissions is filtration of the off-gas through adsorption of the stripped organics in the off-gas by granular activated carbon. The high incremental cost of this alternative has produced an interest in alternative control technologies.
One alternative currently available is based on short wavelength ultraviolet (UV) radiation. This technique combines the effects of ozone generation, free radical formation and photolysis of the contaminants to effectively control the VOC emissions. This technique is known as Advanced Photo Oxidation (APO)R.
The cost for APO is $0.27/m3 for a 3.8 m3/hr contaminated water system. A system of this size is adequate for a groundwater decontamination project where a moderate length of time is available for restoration of the site. The cost of a conventional air stripping tower with Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) adsorption emissions control in this size range would be $0.40 to $0.45/m3 (J.M. Montgomery, 1986).
Additional testing will be required to fully develop design guidelines for different contaminants and larger systems. Another area for additional technical documentation is the application of this technique to the liquid phase oxidation of VOCs. 相似文献
Ozonated water was produced using a contact system specifically designed for these tests by Ozotech Ltd. Ozone residual concentrations in the order of 0.1 mg/L were found to be capable of removing 80-99% of the biofilm in single applications. However, effectiveness of ozone was dependent on morphology, thickness and age of the biofilms. Intermittent application of ozone, using residual concentrations < 0.1 mg/L, was found to be capable of weakening the biofilm, but a minimum period of 3-h was required for effective control.
The fluid velocity was found to affect the rate and amount of biofilm removed. The effects of fluid velocities in the range 0.5-2.5 m/sec were examined. In general, the higher the velocity the greater the initial rate of removal and the percentage of the biofilm removed; this suggested that ozone action was mass transfer dependent.
The effect of ozone on bacterial cell structure was investigated using scanning electron microscopy techniques. Changes in cell structure were revealed after contact with ozone and residuals above 0.4 mg/L were required for 100% kill of bacterial suspensions.
In conclusion, the effectiveness of ozone for full-scale application will vary depending on the morphology of the biofilm, the velocity of the fluid and the ozone dose applied. An ozone dosing regime for commercial application is suggested. 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
