Typology of Municipal Wastewater Treatment Technologies in Latin America

This paper presents an analysis of the wastewater treatment plants in six Latin American and Caribbean countries. Based on a sample of 2734 municipal treatment facilities, the applied processes are classified by sizes (influent flow) and type of technologies. The distribution of the technologies is also presented for each of the six countries. In addition, a representative municipal wastewater characterization, based on influent data from 174 treatment plants, is proposed. Results show that stabilization ponds, activated sludge, and the upflow anaerobic sludge blanket reactors represent 80% of the treatment facilities of the sample, providing treatment to 81% of the total flow considered. Moreover, 67% of the plants in the sample are small (flow <25 L/s) and the very small facilities (influent flow <5 L/s) are extensively applied in the region (34% of the sample), especially in Mexico and Brazil. The use of very small treatment plants may result in low energy efficiency systems and on possible incompliance of the discharge standards. This common practice in several countries in Latin America should be revised in order to improve the environmental performance of such facilities.     

纳米SnO2光催化剂的制备及其在养殖废水处理中的应用

以五水合四氯化锡为原料,采用化学沉淀法制备了纳米SnO₂光催化剂,采用电子显微镜和X光衍射仪对粉体的粒径、物象和形貌等进行了表征,对比分析了自制纳米SnO₂对于养殖废水中氨氮的光催化降解情况。研究结果表明催化剂投加量、废水中氨氮初始质量浓度、溶液pH值和H₂O₂质量浓度均是影响氨氮催化氧化去除效果的重要因素。通过正交实验确定了SnO₂光催化剂氧化的优化反应条件:SnO₂投加量为1.2 g/L,氨氮初始质量浓度为40 mg/L,pH值为8.0,H₂O₂质量浓度为1.0 g/L,催化时间为2 h时,去除率可达72%。     

中水设施建设适宜性评价:以北京市为例

水资源的缺乏使越来越多的城市和城区开始使用中水作为额外的经济合理的供水水源,并为此制定相应政策。然而,不适宜的中水利用政策往往对用水户使用再生水产生不利影响。本研究目的在于评价中水设施建设适宜性并分析不同行业的中水利用适宜情况,为制定或修订中水利用政策提供参考。本研究以北京市为研究区,在中水生产成本影响因素分析基础上,得到了中水设施建设限制因素和中水设施建设适宜条件,并对北京市机关、高校、饭店的用水户进行了适宜性评价。本研究结果表明,运行水量对中水生产成本有决定性影响。有效原水量对应的给水量、有效中水需求量、建筑面积适合作为中水设施建设影响因素,它们的下限可作为中水设施建设适宜条件。本研究通过分析北京市部分机关、高校、饭店用水户的用水情况,得到这些行业的中水设施建设适宜条件,并用于适宜性评价。评价结果表明,大部分机关用水户和大部分一、二星级饭店不适宜建设中水设施,而大部分高校和大部分三星级以上饭店适宜建设中水设施。     

Fenton试剂对久效磷的降解实验研究

初步研究了Fenton试剂对久效磷的降解,分析了H2O2浓度、温度、反应时间、pH值和Fe2 浓度这5个因素对COD去除率的影响。实验结果表明,250 mL水样中3.75×10-4mol的久效磷在Fe2 浓度为0.5 mmol/L,pH=3,H2O2浓度为0.19 mol/L,T=70℃的条件下,Fenton试剂在1 h内COD去除率为60%,3 h内COD去除率为90%,8 h内COD去除率为100%。GC-MS测试结果表明,Fenton试剂对250 mL水样中3.75×10-4mol的久效磷5 min可降解81%,30 min降解100%。根据反应速率常数拟合得出该反应符合准一级反应,反应速率常数k=0.655 6 h-1。实验还发现了Cu2 对Fenton试剂有很强的协同催化作用,体系中Cu2 浓度为1.0×10-5mol/L时,Fenton试剂在5 h内对相同水样中COD去除率为101%。     

生物矿化针铁矿对造纸废水的吸附和热解吸研究

利用生物矿化针铁矿对造纸废水进行吸附实验,对吸附动力学、影响因素、以及吸附等温线等进行了研究,通过DTA和XRD研究了不同煅烧温度条件下生物矿化针铁矿的物质形态变化,分析了不同再生条件对生物矿化针铁矿的吸附容量的影响。结果表明:生物矿化针铁矿对造纸废水中的污染物吸附速度较快,具有良好的吸附性能;生物矿化针铁矿吸附污染物后经过煅烧可以实现再生,经310℃煅烧后的第一次再生吸附率为原针铁矿的97.3%,多次加热再生后仍然具有很高的吸附能力。     

海水工厂化养殖废水循环利用的初步探讨

以海水工厂化养殖排出的废水养殖双齿围沙蚕(Perinereis aibuhitensis)、菲律宾蛤仔(Ruditapes phi-lippinarum)、长牡蛎(Crassostreagigas)和细基江蓠(Gracilariatenuistipitata).结果表明:双齿围沙蚕耐污染能力最强;细基江蓠和双齿围沙蚕具有较强的净化水质能力.养殖废水经7 d处理后,NH4+-N、NoO3--N、NO2--N、PO43--P、COD和底质有机物分别下降至处理前的11.20%、23.69%、27.50%、14.6%、3.2%和0.32%,且沙蚕和江蓠平均日生长率分别为2.30 mg/g·d和80 mg/g·d.该方法不但能净化水质,还能实现养殖废水的循环利用.     

Biosorption and desorption of Cd^2＋ from wastewater by dehydrated shreds of Cladophorafascicularis

The adsorption and desorption of algae Cladophora fascicularis and their relation with initial Cd^2＋ concentration, initial pH, and co-existing ions were studied. Adsorption equilibrium and biosorption kinetics were established from batch experiments. The adsorption equilibrium was adequately described by the Langmuir isotherm, and biosorption kinetics was in pseudo-second order model. The experiment on co-existing ions showed that the biosorption capacity of biomass decreased with an increasing concentration of competing ions. Desorption experiments indicated that EDTA was efficient desorbent for recovery from Cd^2＋. With high capacities of metal biosorption and desorption, the biomass of Cladophora fascicularis is promising as a cost-effective biosorbent for the removal of Cd^2＋ from wastewater.
