Lead removal from wastewater using faujasite tuff

The Jordanian chabazite-phillipsite tuff and faujasite-phillipsite tuff have suitable mineralogical and technical properties that enable them to be used for ion-exchange processes. These include suitable grain size and total cation exchange capacity, acceptable zeolite content, good attrition resistance and high packed-bed density. The chabazite-phillipsite tuff (ZE1 and ZE2) has an excellent efficiency to remove Pb and an acceptable efficiency to remove Fe, Cu, Zn and Ni from effluent wastewater of a battery factory and other industries. The faujasite-phillipsite tuff (ZE3) is 6.97 times more efficient than the ZE1 and ZE2. A bed of ZE3 (1,000 kg) loaded in a 1.17-m³ column is capable of cleaning about 2,456 m³ of the effluent from the factory at a cost of US $200/ton. The wastewater is contaminated with 20 ppm Pb in the presence of competing ions including Ca (210 ppm), Na (1,950 ppm) and Fe (169 ppm). This quantity of wastewater is equivalent to 120 working days of effluent discharge from the factory at a flow rate of 20 m³/day.

钾长石粉酸浸除铁的实验研究

在利用钾长石粉合成沸石分子筛和制取碳酸钾技术中，铁的存在会降低沸石的白度。对北京平谷、天津蓟县、内蒙白云鄂博三地钾长石粉进行硫酸酸浸除铁实验，获得最大铁浸出率分别为88．6％、93．2％和64．6％，且前两地钾长石粉中铁的浸出行为相似，酸浸除铁效果均优于白云鄂博钾长石粉。采用正交实验法研究硫酸浓度、酸浸温度和时间对除铁效果的影响，表明三者对不同地区钾长石粉酸浸除铁效果的影响程度各不相同。钾长石酸浸除铁反应开始时，铁的溶解极快，反应速率主要由化学反应控制；其后溶解相对缓慢，反应速率则由扩散作用控制。     

Lead sorption onto thermally treated soil samples from Irbid

Open burning of waste at dumpsites sites may alter many physical and chemical properties of underlining soil layers including its ability to retard the migration of potential contaminants, such as lead, through the vadose zone. In this study, lead sorption onto soil samples from Irbid that were subjected to high temperatures has been investigated. These samples were collected from ground surface and heated to temperatures of 25, 70, 100, 200, 225, 250, 275, 300, 400, and 550°C. Based on these temperatures the soil was divided into ten different groups. Each group was first characterized by conducting a set of experiments to estimate the Atterberg limits (liquid limit, plastic limit, and plasticity index), the organic carbon content, and a set of batch experiments to study lead adsorption. Results indicate that the LL, PL, total organic carbon are slightly affected by high temperatures less than 200°C, show an abrupt change between temperature from 200 and 300°C, and then slight change above 300°C. Sorption of lead onto heated samples, however, was not significantly changed. This may be explained by the fact that adsorption of heavy metals mainly occurs onto the soil mineral parts which are slightly affected by the temperature range used in this study.

Heavy metals removal from synthetic wastewater by a novel nano-size composite adsorbent

The effects of varying operating conditions on metals removal from aqueous solution using a novel nano-size composite adsorbent are reported in this paper. Characterization of the composite adsorbent material showed successful production of carbon nanotubes on granular activated carbon using 1 % nickel as catalyst. In the laboratory adsorption experiment, initial mixed metals concentration of 2.0 mg/L Cu²⁺, 1.5 mg/L Pb²⁺ and 0.8 mg/L Ni²⁺ were synthesized based on metals concentration from samples collected from a semiconductor industry effluent. The effects of operation conditions on metals removal using composite adsorbent were investigated. Experimental conditions resulting in optimal metals adsorption were observed at pH 5, 1 g/L dosage and 60 min contact time. It was noted that the percentage of metals removal at the equilibrium condition varied for each metal, with lead recording 99 %, copper 61 % and nickel 20 %, giving metal affinity trend of Pb²⁺ > Cu²⁺ > Ni²⁺ on the adsorbent. Langmuir’s adsorption isotherm model gave a higher R² value of 0.93, 0.89 and 0.986 for copper, nickel and lead, respectively, over that of Freundlich model during the adsorption process of the three metals in matrix solution.

The removal of color and COD from wastewater containing water base color by coagulation process

In this study acrylic water base color was removed from synthetic wastewater using coagulation process. Experiments were conducted on the sample containing 100 mg/L and 400 mg/L of acrylic water base color. Destruction of color by means of coagulation/flocculation techniques using ferrous sulfate, alum, lime and polyelectrolyte (cationic, anionic and non ionic). The study was performed in a systematic approach searching optimum values of alum and FeSO₄ concentration, pH and temperature. All the experiments were run in a laboratory scale.The obtained results show that treatment with alum and ferrous sulfate alone proved to be very effective in removing the color (> 99 %) and part of COD (60–70 %) from aqueous solution. Lime alone did not significant change on COD and color removal.

Aquatic plants are well known in accumulating and in concentrating heavy metals. In this study, several physiological responses of aquatic vascular plant, Nasturtium officinale (watercress), which were elevated concentrations of copper, zinc and nickel have been investigated. It was found that Nasturtium officinale were able to accumulate both copper and zinc at upper levels, but was able to accumulate to nickel at low levels. The final goal of this work was to examine the copper, zinc and nickel uptake using this aquatic plant from their solutions.     

Nutrient removal from activated sludge mixed liquor by wastewater protozoa in a laboratory scale batch reactor

The aim of the study was to investigate the nutrient removal rate of three wastewater protozoan isolates. The study was carried out in a laboratory-scale batch reactor for a period of 120 h. in a four batch study. Aliquot samples were withdrawn from the reactor every 24 h. for the analysis of phosphate, nitrate, nitrite, ammonia, chemical oxygen demand, dissolved oxygen and pH, using standard methods. The results obtained in the different batches among the three isolates showed PO₄ ^2? removal rate ranging from 0.04 to 0.52 mg-PO₄ ^2?/L/h. while NO₃ ^? nitrate removal rates ranged from 0.08 to 0.16 mg-NO₃ ^?/L /h. Also NO₂- and NH₃ rates were observed to range between 0.022 and 0.087 mg-NO₂ ^?/L /h. 0.05 and 0.16 mg-NH₃ ^?/L /h, respectively. For the physicochemical parameters, there was no observed COD decrease; rather there was an increase and this was irrespective of isolates and experimental batches. However, dissolved oxygen concentration decreased drastically (below 1 mg/L) at the end of each batch while pH show a decrease after an initial 24 h. period and thereafter increased. This trend was also irrespective of isolates and experimental batches. Overall, the study has been able to show the effect of the test isolates on nutrient removal rates and other physicochemical parameters (COD, DO and pH) in activated sludge mixed liquor.     

Removal of bisphenol A (BPA) from biologically treated wastewater by microfiltration and nanofiltration

Bisphenol A (BPA) is an endocrine disruptor that is difficult to completely remove from wastewater by conventional biological methods. Increased post-treatment BPA removal with ceramic membranes is worth investigating because of these membranes’ mechanical and chemical stability and lifespan. To determine the effectiveness of ceramic membranes for post-treatment of biologically treated BPA-contaminated wastewater, microfiltration (MF) and nanofiltration (NF) were conducted. Both processes removed BPA completely at an initial BPA concentration of 0.3 ± 0.14 mg/L. Increased concentration of 0.7 ± 0.29 mg/L decreased BPA removal. MF removed at least 24 % of BPA, presumably because BPA was adsorbed on particulate matter, which was retained by the membrane, or adsorbed on its surface. NF removed up to thrice more BPA. MF and NF completely removed suspended solids and 40–60 % COD. Filtration capacity decreased with time due to fouling but did not depend on initial BPA concentration. BPA concentrations in municipal wastewater are typically lower than the lowest concentration tested, where MF completely removed BPA. Hence, MF ceramic membranes appear a promising solution for post-treatment of BPA-containing wastewater. MF can be used at a much lower transmembrane pressure than NF, requiring less energy to pump wastewater through the membrane, thus reducing costs.     

Start-up of halophilic nitrogen removal via nitrite from hypersaline wastewater by estuarine sediments in sequencing batch reactor

Nitrogen removal from hypersaline wastewater was successfully started up by inoculating estuarine sediments for 140 days. Efficient ammonia and total nitrogen removal was sustained under specific ammonia loading of 0.016–0.139 kg N/[kg VSS day] in a sequencing batch reactor. Stable nitrite accumulation was observed during nitrification. The specific ammonia consumption rate was higher than the value of freshwater activated sludge and salt-acclimated freshwater activated sludge. With methanol as carbon source, specific nitrite reduction rate of halophilic denitrifiers was much less than the freshwater counterpart. Halophilic activated sludge was characterized as good settling and flocculation prosperity with small floc size and net-like sludge structure. The abundance of ammonia-oxidizing bacteria outnumbered ammonia-oxidizing archaeas in both estuarine sediments and the activated sludge. Nitrifier population was dominated by the halophilic members of genus Nitrosomonas. This study demonstrated the application of mixed halophilic consortia for efficient nitrogen removal, overcoming the limits and difficulties of applying freshwater bacteria for saline wastewater treatment.

High efficiency of heavy metal removal in mine water by limestone

The removal of Cd, Cu, Ni and Zn from dilute mine water by using several geological materials including pure limestone, sand, carbonaceous limestone and brecciated limestone was performed on a laboratory scale. The results showed that to add geological materials in combination with sodium carbonate injection would notably enhance the efficiency of heavy metal removal to varying degrees. Pure limestone was found the best one among the four materials mentioned above for removing heavy metals from mine water. The removal efficiencies of pure limestone when it is ground as fine as 30–60 meshes are 58.6% for Cd, 100% for Cu, 47.8% for Ni, and 36.8% for Zn at 20°C. The optimum pH is about 8.9 to 9.1. The mechanism of higher effective removal, perhaps, is primarily due to co-precipitation under the control of calcite-related pH value. According to this research, Na₂CO₃ injection manners, including slug dosing and drip-wise, seemed to have little impact on the efficiency of heavy metal removal.
