Application of Colligative Properties in Quality Detection of Watering Raw Milk

[ Objective] To investigate the effects of different water amount on freezing point of raw milk. EMetbodl The freezing point of raw milk added water at different proportions was detected by SWC-LG freezing point detector. The linear regression equation was obtained. The reproduc- ibility was checked. The water content in raw milk was calculated according to the standard regression curve. E Result~ When the water content changed from 0 to 10%, the freezing point of raw milk increased linearly. As evidenced by the reproducibility test, the standard deviation and rela- tive standard deviation were less than 1%. The milk concentration obtained by detecting the freezing point of blind milk samples had an absolute er- ror of no more than 0.5%, compared with actual watering milk concentration. [ ConcluMonl Water content in raw milk can be determined by measur- ing freezing point, and this method is reliable and reproducible.

Study on the Possibility of Raw Seawater into Drinking Water—A Religious Water Literacy

This paper explores the conversion of raw seawater into drinking water from a religious water literacy (RWL) perspective. RWL is here defined as a socially just water literacy that is based on the respect for the dignity of life of all living beings on the Earth. It discusses the importance of sustainable water sources and proposes purification methods. That is, the study aims to show a brief outline of the drinking water source (inland waters;mainly river water) and their purification technologies in recent times and today and propose the purification method (Freezing-Thawing-UV method) in case of taking the seawater as the source. And, it emphasizes the need for dialogue and cooperation between countries in order to proceed. The paper also discusses the relationship among religion, culture, and civilization, and highlights the similarities between Marx’s historical materialism and Umesao’s ecological view. It further discusses the importance of water purification technology, separation methods, and the potential for seawater as an energy source. The paper concludes by discussing the importance of dialogue, communication and understanding environmental decision-making. In order to carry them forward, it is convinced that citizens in the world are nothing but people with self-awareness of “Bodhisattvas of the Earth” as identities. As a result, the new findings that suggest the possibility of raw seawater into drinking water from a religious water literacy perspective through the lens of Kawakatsu’s maritime view have been obtained.

Surface flow constructed wetland with composite plant bed for pretreatment of micro-polluted Yellow River raw water in China

In order to investigate the feasibility of pretreating the micro-polluted Yellow River raw water by constructed wetland, an experiment was conducted using a surface flow constructed wetland with composite plant bed. The contamination removal efficiency and their trends in the wetland treatment system were studied under different hydraulic loading rates(HLR). The contamination removal efficiencies were compared according to the seasonal change under optimum HLR. The result shows that in the same season, under different hydraulic loadings ranging from 2 to 6 m3/(m2·d) at the same period, the best HLR is 4 m3/(m2·d) in the experimental system. The average removal rates of COD, TN, ammoniacal nitrogen(NH4+-N), and TP in the constructed wetland are 38.37%, 45.97%, 39.86% and 41.69%, respectively. According to China Standard for Surface Water Resources (GB3838-2002), mean effluent of COD, TN, NH4+-N and TP can nearly reach Grade Ⅲ, GradeⅤ, GradeⅠand GradeⅠ, respectively. Furthermore, treatment efficiency of the system in summer is obvious higher than that in other seasons. The expenditure of constructing the constructed wetland with the average treating capacity of 176 m3/d and lifetime of 20 years is 17075.00 RMB. The average disposal cost is summed up to 0.17 RMB/m3, which shows that the pretreatment of the micro-polluted Yellow River raw water by constructed wetland is feasible.

Bromate ion formation in dark chlorination and ultraviolet/chlorination processes for bromide-containing water

Bormate （BrO3^-） is a carcinogenic chemical produced in ozonation or chlorination of bromide-containing water. Although its formation in seawater with or without sunlight has been previously investigated, the formation of bromate in dilute solutions, particularly raw water for water treatment plant, is unknown. In this article, the results of bench scale tests to measure the formation rates of bromate formation in dilute solutions, including de-ionized water and raw water from Yangtze River, were presented in dark chlorination and ultraviolet （UV）/chlorination processes. And the effects of initial pH, initial concentration of NaOCl, and UV light intensity on bromate formation in UV/chlorination of the diluted solutions were investigated. Detectable bromate was formed in dark chlorination of the two water samples with a relatively slow production rate. Under routine disinfecting conditions, the amount of formed bromate is not likely to exceed the national standards （10 μg/L）. UV irradiation enhanced the decay of free chlorine, and, simultaneously, 6.6%-32% of Br^- was oxidized to BrO3^-. And the formation of bromate exhibited three stages： rapid stage, slow stage and plateau. Under the experimental conditions （pH = 4.41-11.07, CCl2= 1.23-4.50 mg/L）, low pH and high chlorine concentration favored the generation of bromate. High light intensity promoted the production rate of bromate, but decreased its total generation amount due to acceleration of chlorine decomposition.

The Safety of Water Supplied at Njala University, Njala Campus

The safety of water is usually determined by comparing its quality to recommended standards. The objective of this work was to determine whether the water supplied on Njala Campus is safe for drinking. The quality parameters investigated include coliform bacteria, turbidity, conductivity, total dissolved solids and nitrates. Samples were stored in a cooler with ice and transported to the laboratory within 30 minutes of collection. A checklist of questions to know the perception of residents was administered. According to the physical and biological results, the water is not safe for consumption. The turbidity and microbial counts were too high in most samples both in the wet and dry seasons. Additionally, over 80% of the respondents did not trust the water supply system. Most of them treat the supplied water by either boiling or disinfection before use. Most respondents complained of water-borne diseases but were not clear whether it is related to the water supplied. The chemical parameters, however, were acceptable: nitrate levels were low. In conclusion, the water is not safe for consumption as far as the physical and biological parameters are concerned. The campus water supply system needs improvement in terms of conveying raw and finished water, filter optimization, and satisfying the chlorine demand.

Development of Performance Models for Boiler Feed Water Treatment Ion Exchange Facility

The treatments of raw water using resins embedded with cation and anion were investigated in this study via a developed mathematical model. The developed mathematical model was used to predict the amount of sodium (Na+), calcium (Ca2+), magnesium (Mg2+) and ammonium (NH4+ ) ions removed by the resin embedded with hydrogen ion (H+) in the cation bed. The model was also used to investigate the amount of chloride (Cl-) and sulphate (SO42- ) ions treated by the resin embedded with hydroxyl ion (OH-) in the anion bed. The effect of flow rate and superficial velocity were also investigated. The simulation results showed that there was significant reduction of Na+, Ca2+, Mg2+, , Cl- and SO4 2-from their initial concentrations in raw water. This showed that the mathematical model was able to predict the concentrations of cations and anions investigated in this study. The result revealed that the flow rate of water has effect on the treatment of cations and anions in raw water using ion-exchange resins. Thus, operating the resin beds at very high flow rate reduced its performance while at very low flow rate the residence time of wastewater on the bed increased with resultant increase in performance. Similarly, high superficial velocity reduced the amount of ion concentration removed by the resin in both beds. The total final concentrations of cations in the cation bed by the model were 0.0003156, 0.0003452 and 0.0036 mol/m3 at 4.0, 4.5 and 6.5 m/min respectively while that from the anion bed were 0.0002597, 0.0002769 and 0.00205 mol/m3 at 4.0, 4.5 and 6.5 m/min respectively. The predicted model results, when compared with the maximum allowable limit of total concentration of both cations and anions of a functional industrial company (Notore chemical), showed a maximum percentage deviation ranging from 2.00% to 3.53%. This showed that the developed model has achieved its set objectives.

Study on Factors Affecting Aerobial Plate Count in Raw Milk

[Objectives]This study was conducted to investigate the main factors affecting the aerobial plate count in raw milk.[Methods]Drinking water,medicated baths and raw milk under different storage and transportation conditions were detected for the values of aerobial plate count to analyze their effects on the aerobial plate count in raw milk.[Results]Disinfection of drinking water tanks could significantly reduce the aerobial plate count in water.The use of medicated baths before and after milking could effectively reduce the aerobial plate count and had a significant bactericidal effect.The growth of microorganisms in raw milk stored below 4℃was relatively slow.Regularly disinfecting drinking water tanks and disinfecting nipples before and after milking could reduce the aerobial plate count in the tanks and nipples.After raw milk was extruded,the temperature should decrease to 0-4℃within 2 h,and the storage time should not exceed 48 h,which could effectively control the aerobial plate count in raw milk.[Conclusions]This study provides a reference for scientific control of the aerobial plate count in raw milk.

A Novel Method of Fruit Raw Material Reprocessing

We introduced a method of deep resources-economy reprocessing of fruit raw material. Based on the raw material fractionation at decreased temperatures the method results in the production of bioactive food stuffs, which are dry juice and refuse and natural water. The method includes the production of directly extracted juice and pulp refuse, juice evaporation in vacuum with the production of concentrate and natural water, and air drying the concentrate and the refuse. The method is realized for garden strawberry and cucurbit pulp. The mass concentration of solid in the fractions of cucurbit pulp is defined and the specific weight of the fractions are defined. It is shown that the solid of the cucurbit pulp is uniformly allocated between the fractions and amounts 34% for the dry juice, 31% for the dry refuse, and 35% for the natural water. Food and biological values of the cucurbit pulp fractions are determined. It is determined that the cucurbit includes silicium, nickel, and chromium. Silicium is contained only in dry fractions;nickel is present everywhere;chromium is discovered only in the natural water. Food and biological values of the cucurbit pulp are defined and their allocation between the fractions is determined. Separate components concentrations of the solid considerably differ between the fractions. Thus, two thirds of pulp protein is concentrated in the dry juice and a third is concentrated in the refuse. The natural water contains up to 90% of fat and sugar, from a half to two thirds of B-group vitamins, and the bulk of the mineral substances (K, Na, Ca, Mg, S, Co, Cu, Ni, Cr, and Zn), which concentration composes from 73% for potassium up to 100% for chromium.

气体分离装置碳五组分进烷基化装置加工的方法实践

为了拓宽SINOALKY硫酸法烷基化装置原料适应范围,提高烷基化油收率,解决夏季汽油蒸气压高的问题,某石化公司进行了烷基化装置掺炼少量气体分离装置碳五组分(气分碳五)的工业实践。2021年8月发现烷基化装置反应器进料管线压差异常升高0.6 MPa,通过现场逐段测压判断出堵塞部位为烷基化反应器进料管线及相关设备。经过多种方法的检测分析,判断出烷基化反应器进料管线及设备压差升高的主要原因是气分碳五中含有微量N-甲基二乙醇胺杂质,该物质与循环异丁烷中的二氧化硫反应,生成棕黄色的亚硫酸胺盐,造成进料管线及相关设备堵塞。通过创新流程设施,增设气分碳五水洗和聚结脱水流程,经过生产实践证明该气分碳五加工方法脱杂质效果良好,气分碳五水洗罐中水洗水及中和池总排口水样氮质量浓度分别稳定控制在126.2 mg/L和47.5 mg/L左右,中和池总排口水样pH稳定在6~7,在水洗污水排放指标符合要求的同时,所得烷基化油产品质量也达标,成功实现了气分碳五连续掺炼,为该气分碳五加工方法的研究和推广应用提供了强有力的理论支撑。

咸潮影响下长江口水源地优化布局及白茆沙水库建设可行性分析

为提升远期上海原水水量、水质供应能力和应对突发咸潮入侵和水污染风险,在分析长江口水源现状和咸水入侵形势基础上,论证了长江口水源地优化布局的必要性,结合咸水入侵监测数据及反演成果提出在白茆沙新建水库方案及原水系统优化调度方案,并分析了白茆沙水库建设对河势变化、行洪、通航、渔业资源及生态环境等方面的影响。结果表明:在白茆沙新建水库是较可行的方案,可对上海境内的长江口水源地进行优化布局,扩大供水规模并上移取水口;拟建的白茆沙水库位于白茆沙整治工程内侧,既可确保围堤安全稳定,也不影响行洪、通航,对河势变化、渔业资源及生态环境影响微小;布置于水库南侧微弯水道处的取水口,既可避免淤积对取水口的影响,也可避免北支咸潮倒灌的影响;上岸后的输水管与崇明岛原水复线共建,增强了崇明岛原水的供水安全,与现有长江口和黄浦江水源地的原水系统互联互通,可实现上海原水系统“双源供水、一网调度”的目标。

生物质电厂底渣对微污染原水处理效果的影响

针对生物质电厂底渣(BAR)的处理处置问题,采用磁力除铁并用多层筛网同步筛分机进行磁选、筛分、清洗工艺得到不同粒径(L1:0.25~0.50 mm、L2:0.50~1.00 mm、L3:1.00~2.00 mm、L4:2.00~4.00 mm、L5:4.00~8.00 mm)的BAR样品,并通过搭建快速小型柱测试(RSSCT)装置对微污染原水进行净化试验,以明晰不同粒径BAR对水质净化效果的影响。通过扫描电子显微镜(SEM)、X射线衍射仪(XRD)和傅里叶红外光谱仪(FTIR)等手段对BAR进行了表征,并以15 d内出水浑浊度、化学需氧量(COD_(Cr))、总磷(TP)和氨氮等指标评价了其去污性能。结果表明:L2、L3对原水的处理效果整体较为优异,15 d内出水浑浊度、COD_(Cr)、TP的平均去除率分别达到88%、40%、35%以上,这与BAR的吸附作用及微生物降解有关;L4、L5等大颗粒因填充密度小、系统氧气充足,从而促进硝化细菌的生物活性,在运行后期(11~15 d)对氨氮的去除率最高可达到95%以上;而L1的粒径过小导致其容重、填充密度较大,在运行过程中会出现水流断层、氧气缺乏、微生物活性不足等现象,阻碍了对原水中各类污染物的去除效果。此外,经柠檬酸-壳聚糖复合改性得到的M-L2,相较于L2,对原水中COD_(Cr)、TP的平均去除率分别由42.05%、40.97%增至80.28%、60.36%,提升效果显著,与市售填料沸石、陶粒等水平相当,且成本更为低廉。研究结果为不同粒径BAR的高值化应用以及改性BAR在微污染原水预处理技术的发展提供一定的数据支撑。

印染废水原水磁混凝沉淀预处理工程改造实例

广东顺德某印染企业废水处理站原设计采用普通斜管沉淀池作为印染废水预处理措施。由于污泥量大,沉淀池跑泥现象较为严重,抗冲击负荷能力弱,土地利用效率不高。为改善预处理出水效果,同时也为了给未来深度处理改造工程腾出用地,该厂设计采用磁混凝工艺替代原有斜管沉淀池对进水进行混凝沉淀预处理。改造工程运行结果表明,在节省占地50%的情况下,改造后污水磁混凝预处理系统出水效果稳定,COD去除率稳定在40%~50%,出水水质优于改造前。磁混凝后物化污泥浓度高,经过调理后,污泥浓缩性能较好,污泥压滤处理系统负荷相对改造前变化不大。改造项目的调试与运行实践表明,磁混凝工艺用于高污泥产量的工业废水原水预处理需要同时考虑表面负荷与固体负荷两个重要参数。

污泥脱水液回流对引江水超滤处理工艺的影响分析

水厂排泥水处理过程中会产生较大量的污泥脱水液。为避免南水北调引江水资源的浪费,同时积极推进水厂的“零排放”建设目标,面向以引江水为水源的超滤处理工艺,评价了将污泥脱水液回流至原水池进行稀释回用的可行性。考察了不同污泥脱水液/引江原水混合比例下超滤系统的运行特性,发现当污泥脱水液适当稀释后,其对超滤净水效果和膜污染的影响急剧降低,当稀释比例达到1∶800时,出水水质与跨膜压增长曲线已接近引江原水直接超滤的情况。试验中引江原水的跨膜压增长速率为19.7 k Pa/d,而污泥脱水液原液则达到25.8 k Pa/d。当两者以1∶800比例稀释后,跨膜压增长速率下降为21.3 k Pa/d,接近于引江原水。膜表面微观表征结果显示随着稀释比例的提高,滤饼层厚度、溶解性有机物、特征官能团红外峰强、污染元素相对质量分数均显著降低,逐渐下降到与原水直接超滤相近的水平。引江原水组的超滤膜滤饼层厚度为1.77μm,而污泥脱水液原液组的滤饼层厚度为4.00μm,污染程度较重。两者按1∶800比例稀释后的滤饼层厚度降低至1.82μm,污染程度显著降低。研究结果可为南水北调受水城市超滤水厂的“零排放”建设提供参考。但值得注意的是,污泥脱水液的合理处置与利用问题目前仍处于起步和探索阶段,未来仍需从水质生物安全性和化学安全性的角度加以系统评估。同时可考虑氧化、吸附、微滤分离等预处理手段,以提高污泥脱水液回用过程的安全性。

企业挥发性有机物排放特征及替代分析

本研究通过对区域内特定行业进行调研,选取已开展部分原料替代的企业,通过开展VOCs采样检测,分析低VOCs含量原辅材料水性漆替代油性漆的VOCs排放特征,并进行环境效益与健康效益分析。调研发现,在环境效益方面,低VOCs含量原辅材料替代对环境存在一定的正面效益;低VOCs含量原辅材料替代前控制芳香烃,替代后优先控制含氧VOC;在健康效益方面,低VOCs含量原辅材料替代前后均可能存在非致癌健康风险和可能致癌风险或致癌风险,因此无论替代与否企业均需加强职业健康安全风险控制。企业存在VOCs收集效率较低,无组织排放较大,末端治理设施处理效率较低等情况。企业在考虑源头削减控制VOCs产生的同时需加强对VOCs的收集与处理管控。
