The significance of five operational factors including the mass ratio of H2O2/COD (g/g), the mole ratio of H2O2/Fe2+ (mol/mol), initial pH, oxidation temperature T, and reaction time t were evaluated statistically by Box-Behnken design (BBD). It was found that the five parameters were all significant to the COD removal efficiency by t-test, as well as the interactions between mass ratio/reaction time and oxidation temperature/reaction. The optimal COD removal efficiency (89.50%) was achieved when the mass ratio of H2O2/COD and the mole ratio of H2O2/Fe2+ were 3.00 and 5.00 respectively, with pH value of 3.68 at 298K for 72min reaction. A quadratic regression model with 0.9907 regression coefficient (R2) was developed which had good agreement to the experimental data.展开更多

In recent years, however, micro-pollutants such as pharmaceuticals and hormonal products used in animal agriculture have added an additional impact to overall water quality. Pharmaceuticals used in the poultry, swine, beef, and dairy industries have been detected in various environmental matrices such as, soil, groundwater and surface water. In this study, 26 surface water samples were collected throughout the Bosque River Watershed （BRW） with samples representing a range of land use conditions and locations of major dairy operations. Samples were analyzed using commercially available Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay test. Of the 26 samples, three samples consistently tested positive for monensin antibiotic with concentration ranging from 0.30 to 3.41 μg/L. These three samples were collected from sites that received varying amount of agriculture wastes （11.7% to 31.3%） and located downstream from sites associated with moderate levels of animal agriculture. The preliminary results suggest that there is a potential for monensin occurrence in the BRW, although initial findings indicate only very low levels.展开更多
