The research indicates that the concentrations of chemical oxygen demand (COD) and NO3 -N in the water are the lowest when the recycle ratio is 3:1 ,but the removal efficiency of total cyanide (TCN) is the highest when the recycle ratio is 1: 1. The removal efficiency of NH4^+ -N is more than 99% at all three different recycle ratios. Compared with Grade A of the National Discharge Standard (GB 8978--1996), the effluent NH4 -N is standard,but COD and TCN can not meet the requirements and further treatment processes are needed.展开更多

As a liquid fertilizer,piggery wastewater is relatively low in fertilizer efficiency and high in transportation cost,so it is very necessary to treat it in situ. Energy plants have the advantages of rapid growth,large biomass,strong tillering ability and developed root system. Therefore,energy plants can be used to absorb and transform the pollutants( like nitrogen and phosphorus) in piggery wastewater into the components of plants,as well as form the rhizosphere environment which is conducive to microbial growth,so as to enhance the effects of nitrogen and phosphorus removal. The obtained energy plants can be recycled as the raw materials for biogas to increase the production of biogas,which brings economic benefits while solving the environmental problems caused by piggery wastewater.展开更多

A hydraulic equation has been formulated and is presented in this paper which is used to determine the seepage path within the grey water dam, and determine the dimensions of the dam components. The hydraulic equation model also helps in avoiding soil piping problems by keeping the phreatic line within the grey water dam. Vegetables are planted around the surface of the dam as a reuse option while helping recycling of water in the form of evapotranspiration. A successful pilot trial of this dam was run in Mnyamatsini area in Swaziland which can accept grey water from multiple households.展开更多
