The adsorption of ammonium on modified zeolite was exothermic process. The saturation adsorption capacity of ammonium on H-form and Na-form zeolite were 21.23 and 41.15 mg/g, respectively. After ten times adsorption-desorption-readsorption cycles the standard deviations of H-form and Na-form zeolite were 6.34% and 6.59%. The zeolite adsorption process has proved cost effective and practical in reducing ammonium by H-form and Na-form zeolite in municipal wastewater from concentration 27.68 mg/L to 2.80 mg/L and 5.91 mg/L.展开更多

The hyper-cross-linked polymers(HCPs) produced by knitting aromatic functional groups posses the typical micro-and meso-porous composite structure and specific surface areas of up to 957 m^2·g^(-1). The obtained materials were evaluated as adsorbents for methylene blue(MB) and subjected to several batch adsorption tests to investigate the effects of adsorbent dosage, concentration of MB, temperature, and pH on MB removal. The maximum adsorbed capacity(q_m) of KAPs-Ph(381 mg·g^(-1), knitted using benzene) exceeded those of less mesoporous KAPs-PhPh_3(310 mg·g^(-1) knitted using 1,3,5-triphenylbenzene) and chloromethyl polystyrene resin(58 mg·g^(-1)). Moreover, KAPs-Ph could be regenerated by Soxhlet extraction with ethanol and reused for up to 15 times with minimal loss of adsorption capacity. The results illustrate that adsorption performance can be improved by controlling the pore structure of the adsorbing materials, and KAPs-Ph has a potential application values for the industrial removal of organic dyes from wastewater.展开更多

In st...A sequential three-step programming method is proposed for determining the minimum flowrate of fresh water and corresponding regenerated water in water-using system of single contaminant with regeneration reuse. In step 1, a programming with the objective of min fws is used to determine the minimum flowrate of fresh water, in which the mathematical representation is a mixed integer nonlinear programming (MINLP1). Then under the same constraints with step 1, a programming with the objective of min freg in step 2 and a programming with the objective of min Cr in step 3 are subsequently used to determine the minimum flowrate of regenerated water and the minimum inlet concentration to regeneration process corresponding to the minimum flowrate of fresh water based on step 1. The method is easy to apply because we only need to change the objective function but keep the constraints constant to go along the following steps after step 1. In addition, the relationship between the fresh water flowrate required, fws and inlet concentration to regeneration process, Cr, is investigated. It is found that there exist three relationships between fws and Cr, which indicate three possibilities for C\>: below the pinch, above the pinch or at the pinch. Therefore, a new conclusion is drawn, which differs from that 'regeneration of water at pinch minimizes fresh water flowrate' derived in literature and indicates that in some cases, regeneration at other point also minimizes fresh water flowrate.展开更多

A water-using network involving regeneration unit can be formed by adding the regenerated stream(s) into the network involving reuse only. In the design procedure of the network operated in a single batch mode, time is take n as the primary factor a nd con centration potentials as the secondary one. For the networks operated in a repeated mode, the design procedure is similar to that for continuous processes, besides designing the storage tanks with the rules proposed. Continuous regeneration unit is selected in this work. With the proposed method, the network structure corresponding to the minimum freshwater consumption can be obtained. It is shown that the method proposed in this article is simple, effective and has clear engineering meaning.展开更多
