This numerical model is composed of a 2-D depth-averaged dynamic far-field numerical model and a 2-D vertical dynamic near-field numerical model. The former uses finite node method to compute velocity, and improved finite node method to compute pollutant concentration distribution; the latter is a k-e turbulence model, and uses SIMPLE (Semi-Implicit Method for Pressure Linked Equations) method to compute velocity. At the same time, the former provides boundary conditions for the latter. This model can simulate both far- field pollutant concentration distribution and near-field vertical recirculation quickly and precisely. This model has been verified by measured data of pollutant F of the Dachang reach of the Changjing River and test data presented by Chen el al. (1992). On the basis of verification, the authors use a designed hydrograph to compute this mixing area for a certain amount of wastewater discharging into the river.展开更多

Glow discharge electrolysis of aqueous solution containing arsenite is studied under altemating current altemating current (50 Hz) discharge. It is found that arsenite [As(III)] get converted to arsenate [As(V)]. The yield is studied with various parameters such as discharge current, duration of discharge and pH (2-10). The results are interpreted on the basis of interaction of the OH and eaq (produced consequent to the interaction of H2O+ and e with water at the surface of the solution) with arsenite [As(III)] through the intermediate oxidation state, namely [As(IV)].展开更多

In this paper, the effect of the BCD plasma on the Escherichia coli (E. coli) bacteria cell wall was investigated through two analytical methods; Adenosine-5-triphosphate (ATP) assay and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM). The ATP assay results indicate an increase in the ATP content of samples which were exposed to the BCD plasma. This implies the bacteria cell rupture. Moreover, AFM images confirm a serious damage of the bacteria cell wall under the influence of the bactericidal agents of the plasma.展开更多
