Simultaneous Removal of Nitrogen and Refractory Organics from a Biologically Treated Leachate by Pulse Electrochemical Oxidation in a Multi-channel Flow Reactor.

ABSTRACT: Electrochemical oxidation (EO) is often used in the advanced treatment of refractory wastewater. However, in a conventional EO process of direct-current (DC) power supply, oxide layers often form on the anodes, which not only hinder the oxidation reaction on them but also cause higher energy consumption. In this paper, a biologically treated leachate (BTL) of municipal solid waste (MSW) was comparably treated by EO with DC (DC-EO), monopulse (MP-EO), and double pulse (DP-EO) power source models in a home-made multi-channel flow reactor. The effects of process parameters of current density (I _A), superficial liquid velocity (U _L), pulse frequency (f _P), duty ratio (R _D), and so forth on the removal efficiency of chemical oxygen demand (COD) (RE_COD), total organic carbon (TOC) (RE_TOC), and total nitrogen (TN) (RE_TN) were investigated simultaneously. Average energy consumption () and organic composition of the treated effluent of DC-EO and MP-EO were also compared comprehensively, and a new mechanism of MP-EO has been proposed accordingly. Under optimal conditions, 2 L of BTL was treated by MP-EO for 180 min, and the RE_COD, RE_TOC, and RE_TN could reach as high as 80, 30, and 80%, respectively. Compared with DC-EO, the of MP-EO is reduced by 69.27%. Besides, the kinds of organic matter in the treated effluent of MP-EO are reduced from 53 in the BTL to 11, which is much less than in the DC-EO process of 29 kinds. Therefore, the MP-EO process exhibits excellent removal performance of organics and TN and economic prospects in the treatment of refractory organic wastewater.

Simultaneous removal of concentrated organics, nitrogen and phosphorus nutrients by an oxygen-limited membrane bioreactor.

Project description:Simultaneous removal of organics, nitrogen and phosphorus was achieved in a bench-scale oxygen-limited membrane bioreactor (OLMBR). Due to the limited dissolved oxygen (~ 0.2 mg/L equilibrium concentration) and the increased sludge concentration associated with the hollow fiber membrane, the OLMBR was endowed with an excellent performance on the removal of multi-pollutants. The optimized removal efficiencies of COD, nitrogen (N), and total phosphorus (TP) were approximately 95.5%, 90.0% and 82.6%, respectively (COD/N/P = 500:10:1, influent loading = 5.0 kg COD·m-3·d-1, 35°C). Mass balance and bacterial community analysis indicated that the removal of organic carbon was mainly achieved by the methane production process (67.6%). Short-cut nitrification-denitrification (SCND) was observed as the primary denitrification process in the OLMBR, in which the concentrated organic compounds served as the electron donors for denitrification. Nitrosomonas was observed to be the predominant ammonium-oxidizing bacteria, while nitrite-oxidizing bacteria were almost absent in the microbial community as revealed by the high-throughput sequencing technique. In addition, Euryarchaeota and Candidatus, which were well associated with the process of denitrifying anaerobic methane oxidation, were also detected. Sludge absorption was the main route for TP removal in the OLMBR, and the production of PH3 gas also accounted for 19.4% of TP removal. This study suggested that the interception effect of hollow fiber membrane provided higher sludge concentration, therefore offering more bacteria for pollutant removal. The OLMBR can be used for simultaneous removal of highly concentrated organics and nutrients in livestock and poultry breeding wastewater.

Direct electrochemical oxidation of alcohols with hydrogen evolution in continuous-flow reactor.

Project description:Alcohol oxidation reactions are widely used for the preparation of aldehydes and ketones. The electrolysis of alcohols to carbonyl compounds have been underutilized owing to low efficiency. Herein, we report an electrochemical oxidation of various alcohols in a continuous-flow reactor without external oxidants, base or mediators. The robust electrochemical oxidation is performed for a variety of alcohols with good functional group tolerance, high efficiency and atom economy, whereas mechanistic studies support the benzylic radical intermediate formation and hydrogen evolution. The electrochemical oxidation proves viable on diols with excellent levels of selectivity for the benzylic position.

Electrochemical Oxidation of Landfill Leachate after Biological Treatment by Electro-Fenton System with Corroding Electrode of Iron.

Project description:Electrochemical oxidation of landfill leachate after biological treatment by a novel electrochemical system, which was constructed by introducing a corroding electrode of iron (Fec) between a boron-doped diamond (BDD) anode and carbon felt (CF) cathode (named as BDD-Fec-CF), was investigated in the present study. Response surface methodology (RSM) with Box-Behnken (BBD) statistical experiment design was applied to optimize the experimental conditions. Effects of variables including current density, electrolytic time and pH on chemical oxygen demand (COD) and ammonia nitrogen (NH3-N) removal efficiency were analyzed. Results showed that electrolytic time was more important than current density and pH for both COD and NH3-N degradation. Based on analysis of variance (ANOVA) under the optimum conditions (current density of 25 mA·cm-2, electrolytic time of 9 h and pH of 11), the removal efficiencies for COD and NH3-N were 81.3% and 99.8%, respectively. In the BDD-Fec-CF system, organic pollutants were oxidized by electrochemical and Fenton oxidation under acidic conditions. Under alkaline conditions, coagulation by Fe(OH)3 and oxidation by Fe(VI) have great contribution on organic compounds degradation. What is more, species of organic compounds before and after electrochemical treatment were analyzed by GC-MS, with 56 kinds components detected before treatment and only 16 kinds left after treatment. These results demonstrated that electrochemical oxidation by the BDD-Fec-CF system has great potential for the advanced treatment of landfill leachate.

Phosphorus removal from landfill leachate by microalgae.

Project description:Phosphorus is an essential constituent of all living organisms but it is non-renewable and its natural reserves are fast depleting. Phosphorus discharged in wastewater could be sustainably reused by microalgae. Knowledge about cellular phosphorus dynamics in microalgae has been rapidly advancing and luxury phosphorus (poly-P) uptake phenomenon by microalgae is becoming the focus point for many research studies. Ultra-membrane treated landfill leachate was used as a nutrient medium for the growth of indigenous microalgal species with simultaneous removal of phosphorus (P-PO4 -3) and nitrogen (N-NH4 + and N-NO3). Different concentrations of phosphorus (15-100?mg. L-1 P-PO4 -3) was added to leachate. Highest nitrogen removal (69.03% N-NH4 +) was observed for 100?mg. L-1 P-PO4 -3 supplemented medium. P removal efficiency was 100% for all the tested P-PO4 -3 concentrations. Intracellular poly-P was detected by florescence microscopy. Microalgae can be grown and utilized for the sustainable recovery of P and N from landfill leachate.

Nonoxidative removal of organics in the activated sludge process.

Project description:The activated sludge process is commonly used to treat wastewater by aerobic oxidation of organic pollutants into carbon dioxide and water. However, several nonoxidative mechanisms can also contribute to removal of organics. Sorption onto activated sludge can remove a large fraction of the colloidal and particulate wastewater organics. Intracellular storage of, e.g., polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA), triacylglycerides (TAG), or wax esters can convert wastewater organics into precursors for high-value products. Recently, several environmental, economic, and technological drivers have stimulated research on nonoxidative removal of organics for wastewater treatment. In this paper, we review these nonoxidative removal mechanisms as well as the existing and emerging process configurations that make use of them for wastewater treatment. Better utilization of nonoxidative processes in activated sludge could reduce the wasteful aerobic oxidation of organic compounds and lead to more resource-efficient wastewater treatment plants.

Electrochemical Oxidation of Methyl Orange in an Active Carbon Packed Electrode Reactor (ACPER): Degradation Performance and Kinetic Simulation.

Project description:The efficient removal and kinetic modelling of methyl orange (MO) degradation using an electrocatalytic oxidation method in an activated carbon (AC) packed electrode reactor (ACPER) were conducted. A significantly high (81.2%) chemical oxygen demand (COD) and 100.0% MO decolorization efficiency were observed under the experimental conditions of current density of 3.0 mA·cm-2, flow velocity of 0.3 L·h-1, and treatment duration of 1.68 h using a β-PbO2/Ti anode. The high removal efficiency is ascribed to the anode expansion effect after AC packing. The anode expansion coefficient (λ) of the ACPER was calculated to be 0.63 from the cyclic voltammetry (CV) measurement, which means the further current utilization for MO oxidation. Based on the current utilization efficiency on anodic and particle electrode surfaces, a phase-reaction kinetics model was proposed for the simulation of MO COD removal efficiency. Our simulation results showed that the newly established average current efficiency (ACE) and energy consumption (Esp) model well matched the MO experimental degradation data. Our work broadens the scope of the application of ACPER in the treatment industry wastewater containing organics and provides a new strategy for the energy utilization evaluation during the removal of organic matter by electrocatalytic oxidation.

Nanostructured carbon black for simultaneous electrochemical determination of trace lead and cadmium by differential pulse stripping voltammetry.

Project description:Nanostructured carbon black (CB) was first employed directly in this paper for the simultaneous electrochemical determination of trace Pb(II) and Cd(II) using differential pulse anodic stripping voltammetry. The morphology and surface properties of conductive CB were characterized by transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy. Special pore structures, as well as surface chemical functional groups, endow CB with excellent catalytic and adsorption properties. Some parameters affecting electrical analysis performance were investigated systematically including deposition time and potential, pH value of solution, volume of suspension, amount of Bi(III) and Nafion solution. CB-Nafion-glassy carbon electrode sensor linear response ranges from 6 to 1000?nM for selective and simultaneous determination. The detection limits were calculated to be 8?nM (0.9?µg?l-1) for Cd(II) and 5?nM (1.0?µg?l-1) for Pb(II) (S/N?=?3) for the electrocatalytic determination under optimized conditions. The method was successfully used to the determination of actual samples and good recovery was achieved from different spiked samples. Low detection limits and good stability of the modified electrode demonstrated a promising perspective for the detection of trace metal ions in practical application.

Co-electrolysis of seawater and carbon dioxide inside a microfluidic reactor to synthesize speciality organics.

Project description:We report co-electrolysis of seawater and carbon dioxide (CO2) gas in a solar cell-integrated membraneless microfluidic reactor for continuous synthesis of organic products. The microfluidic reactor was fabricated using polydimethylsiloxane substrate comprising of a central microchannel with a pair of inlets for injection of CO2 gas and seawater and an outlet for removal of organic products. A pair of copper electrodes were inserted into microchannel to ensure its direct interaction with incoming CO2 gas and seawater as they pass into the microchannel. The coupling of solar cell panels with electrodes generated a high-intensity electrical field across the electrodes at low voltage, which facilitated the co-electrolysis of CO2 and seawater. The paired electrolysis of CO2 gas and seawater produced a range of industrially important organics under influence of solar cell-mediated external electric field. The, as synthesized, organic compounds were collected downstream and identified using characterization techniques. Furthermore, the probable underlying electrochemical reaction mechanisms near the electrodes were proposed for synthesis of organic products. The inclusion of greenhouse CO2 gas as reactant, seawater as electrolyte, and solar energy as an inexpensive electric source for co-electrolysis initiation makes the microreactor a low-cost and sustainable alternative for CO2 sequestration and synthesis of organic compounds.

Simultaneous removal of bioaerosols, odors and volatile organic compounds from a wastewater treatment plant by a full-scale integrated reactor.

Project description:Biological control of odors and bioaerosols in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) have gained more attention in recent years. The simultaneous removal of odors, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and bioaerosols in each unit of a full-scale integrated-reactor (FIR) in a sludge dewatering room was investigated. The average removal efficiencies (REs) of odors, VOCs and bioaerosols were recorded as 98.5 %, 94.7 % and 86.4 %, respectively, at an inlet flow rate of 5760 m3/h. The RE of each unit decreased, and the activated carbon adsorption zone (AZ) played a more important role as the inlet flow rate increased. The REs of hydrophilic compounds were higher than those of hydrophobic compounds. For bioaerosols, roughly 35 % of airborne heterotrophic bacteria (HB) was removed in the low-pH zone (LPZ) while over 30 % of total fungi (TF) was removed in the neutral-pH zone (NPZ). Most bioaerosols removed by the biofilter (BF) had a particle size larger than 4.7 μm while bioaerosols with small particle size were apt to be adsorbed by AZ. The microbial community in the BF changed significantly at different units. Health risks were found to be associated with H2S rather than with bioaerosols at the FIR outlet.
