Ammonia is often removed by conventional technologies such as pack tower aeration, biological treatment or adsorption as ammonium ion onto zeolites. In many cases, conventional methods are very costly and inefficient, and therefore there is a need for an alternative separation technique for more efficient removal of ammonia from wastewaters. The aim of this study is to investigate the performance of combination of ozonation and absorption through membrane processes to remove ammonia from wastewater using NHSW (natural hot spring water) as absorbent. Experimental results show that hollow fiber membrane contactor has potential application for ammonia removal from wastewater. Operating variables such as time and pH of absorbent solution are found to remarkably influence the removal process efficiency.. Based on experimental results ozonation can improve ammonia removal efficiency through hollow fiber membrane contactor. Ammonia removal efficiencies and overall mass transfer coefficients increase with decreasing pH of absorbent solution.展开更多

A study on efficiency and reaction kinetics of microcystin-LR ( MC-LR ) degradation by CIO2 was performed. Experimental results indicated that MC-LR was removed by CIO2 effectively and the residual concentration of MC-LR could meet the national guideline(GB5749 - 2006) (1.0 μg · L^-1), the efficiency of removal was in positive correlation to CIO2 dosage and reaction time and in negative correlation to initial concentration of MC-LR and pH value, whereas it was affected by temperature slightly. CIO2 dosage was the most important reaction factor on base of the orthogonal test results. The reaction was second order overall and first order with respect to both CIO2 and MC- LR, and had an activation energy of 78.81 kJ · mo1^-1 . The reaction rate constant was 4.74× 10-^2 L/(mol · min) at 10 ℃. Therefore, oxidation of CIO~ could be taken as an effective technology for removing MC-LR from drinking water resources in traditional drinking water supplies.展开更多

The optimum operation parameters for the highest performance were determined. It was found that the hybrid biological reactor worked well for the coke wastewater treatment in terms of Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), NH4+ -N and other refractory organic compounds removal efficiencies. Compared with conventional activated sludge system, the removal rate of COD and NH4+ -N and the nitrating rate were higher and more stable in the hybrid biological reactor. COD of effluent was less than 75 mg/L and the removal rate of COD and NH4+ -N could be up to 95.0% and 92.5% when COD of influent and NH4+ -N were less than 700 mg/L and 300 rag/L, respectively. In this way, the quality of effluent concentration could reach the first class of integrated wastewater discharge standard (GB8978-1996) (COD ≤100 mg/L).展开更多

Wastewater containing ammonia is usually removed by conventional methods such as aeration in towers, biological treatment and adsorption of the ammonium ion to the zeolite surface. However, these methods are less effective and relatively expensive. Therefore there is a need for alternative technologies that can improve the efficiency of ammonia removal from wastewater. This study aims to obtain the process of ammonia removal through a combination of absorption in the membrane contactor and the advance oxidation process in the hybrid plasma-ozone reactor. Wastewater containing ammonia used in the study was a synthetic wastewater with a concentration of about 800 ppm. In the experiment, the wastewater fi'om the reservoir was firstly passed into the membrane contactor on the shell side, and then mixed with ozone from the ozonator befbre entering the plasma reactor, and finally was circulated back to the reservoir. Meanwhile, the absorbent solution was sent to the lumen fiber in membrane contactor. Experimental results showed that the ammonia removal efficiency increases with increasing in circulation rate and temperature of the wastewater. The highest efficiency of ammonia removal obtained from the experimental results was 77%.展开更多

Meanwhile, bacterial diversity variation and ammonia oxidizing bacterium (AOB) quantification within both kinds of sludge were monitored by terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism (T-RFLP) and real-time PCR (RT-PCR) technique, respectively. The results showed that the COD removal of both kinds of sludge changed slightly when the ammonia removal efficiency decreased gradually with the ammonia concentration increased from 100 mg L^-1 to 500 mg L^-1 Furthermore, activated sludge demonstrated higher ammonia removal ability than that of aerobic granular sludge (10%- 16%). As revealed by T-RFLP, activated sludge was of higher ammonia removal ability and more abounding bacterial diversity than that of aerobic granular sludge, suggesting that the bacterial diversity was probably relevant to the ammonia removal. The RT-PCR results indicated that the AOB population size of activated sludge and aerobic granular sludge were 2.80× 10^4-3.44× 10^4cells (g dried sludge)^-1 and 7.83×10^4-1.18×10^5cells (g dried sludge)^-1, respectively. There is no obvious positive correlation between the ammonia removal ability and number of AOB in both kinds of sludge.展开更多
