Enhanced flocculation activity of polyacrylamide‐based flocculant for purification of industrial wastewater

The flocculation activity of commercially available anionic poly (acrylamide‐co‐acrylic acid), p (AAm‐co‐AA) has been significantly improved, without any inorganic coagulant aid. The effect of three types of surfactants, anionic sodium lauryl ether sulfate (SLES) (Palm Epimen), nonionic cocamide DEA, zwitterionic amphoteric Amphotensid B5, and one organic cation, trimethylammonium bromide (TAB) on coagulation/flocculation performance have been investigated. The performance has been analysed in terms of turbidity, total suspended solid (TSS), total iron (TI) content, and BTEX for treating two kinds of industrial wastewater, produced water (PW) and starch water. We have shown that adding a small amount of each of the studied surfactants, and especially cationic TAB, significantly increases the coagulation/flocculation performance without modifying pH levels. A combination of low dosage of flocculant (310 ppb) and TAB (310 ppb), after 5 minutes, presented 88%, 81%, and 62% reduction in turbidity, TSS, and TI content, respectively, whereas by using 5 ppm of flocculant alone (16 times more), only 76%, 75%, and 43% removal was obtained. The results reveal that TAB performs as an efficient coagulant booster. Compared with regular inorganic coagulants, it is more cost‐effective, reduces the consumption of treatment chemicals, and the pH‐dependency of contaminants removal.     

Study of flocculation with PONILIT GT-2 anionic polyelectrolyte applied into a chemical wastewater treatment

This paper discusses the applications of synthetic PONILIT GT-2 anionic polyelectrolyte in conjuction with ferric sulfate in a chemical wastewater treatment viz. wastewater from ceramics manufacturing. Synthetic wastewaters with different colloid concentrations were prepared and the coagulation-flocculation process followed by sedimentation and/or filtration was studied. Variables associated with the chemical wastewater composition, mixing time, and the coagulant and flocculant dose are considered in order to appreciate the process efficiency in terms of turbidity, chemical oxygen demand (COD), and color removal. The degrees are higher for turbidity and color (> 80 %) removal respectively, and, satisfactory for COD (< 50 %). An empirical model was elaborated by a third order rotatable design 2³ type, considering ferric sulfate dose, polyelectrolyte dose, and mixing time as independent variables, while the turbidity and color removal efficiencies were chosen as optimization criteria. The empirical model was found adequate for the chemical wastewater treatment. Also, an analysis of the model was performed to find the optimal operating conditions, in order to apply this process for an efficient chemical wastewater treatment using ferric sulfate as coagulation agent and PONILIT GT-2 anionic polyelectrolyte as flocculation agent. The optimal values correspond to a ferric ions concentration of 6.093 mg/L, a polyelectrolyte dose of 0.651 mg/L, and a mixing time of 24.024 minutes for turbidity removal (95.869 %), respectively, and, to a ferric ions concentration of 6.01 mg/L, a polyelectrolyte dose of 0.69 mg/L, and a mixing time of 26 minutes for color removal (98.741 %).

Modeling of Settling Rate of Coal Fine Tailings using 3D Response Surface Methodology

In the present investigation, an attempt has been made to analyze the settling behavior of coal fine tailings using an anionic flocculant within the workable range of pH and pulp density. Box–Behnken design of experiments coupled with response surface methodology was employed to analyze the settling rate of particles and the turbidity of the supernatant liquid. Influence of the variables on the settling rate and the turbidity of the supernatant liquid has been presented and discussed through 3D surface plots. The settling rate was found to be more sensitive to the flocculant dose followed by pH and feed pulp density. Turbidity of the supernatant liquid was found to be more sensitive to the flocculant dosage followed by pulp density and the pH. Coefficient of correlation (R²) between the experimental and the predicted values of the settling rate and the turbidity of the supernatant liquid were found to be 0.97 and 0.99, respectively.     

Characterization of floc size and structure under different monomer and polymer coagulants on microfiltration membrane fouling

The characteristic of aggregates pre-coagulated by inorganic monomer alum, polymer aluminium chlorohydrate(ACH) and polyaluminium chloride(PACl) coagulants impose major impact on the removal of humic acids (HAs) and the reduction of microfiltration (MF) membrane fouling. The fractal dimension of flocs formed by ACH and PACl is higher than that by monomer alum, indicating Keggin structure produced by polymer coagulants is much more compact compared with hexameric ring structure of alum hydrolysis species. Correspondingly, cake layer specific resistance is far higher and the MF membrane flux deteriorates much more severely when pre-coagulated by ACH and PACl than by alum. Moreover, the higher basicity contains in PACls, the cake layer fouling is more serious for producing more proportion of dense hydrolysis species Al₁₃. Thus, the polymer coagulant ACH and PACl seems not adapt to the pre-coagulation–MF process for cake layer resistance increase two to three times although they save 60–70% dose in comparison with alum for HAs removal. Additionally, for three Al-based coagulants under sweep coagulation condition, insufficient dose result in lower HAs removal and produce more small particles caused higher cake layer specific resistance according to Carman–Kozeny relationship. On the other hand, coagulant hydrolysis species as direct contaminant loading aggravated cake resistance on the MF membrane when overdosed. The optimum dose should keep the minimum to provide better HAs removal efficiency, and produce lower cake layer specific resistance and higher membrane filterability for pre-coagulation–MF hybrid process.     

Dissolved air flotation for treating wastewater of the nuclear industry: preliminary results

Preliminary testing of dissolved air flotation (DAF) for wastewater treatment is presented. A combined coagulation-flocculation/DAF column system is used to remove oil and ⁶⁰Co from nuclear industry wastewater. In this work, operational conditions and coagulant/flocculant concentrations are optimized by varying pH. Determinations of air-solids ratio (G/S), retention time (θ), pressure (P), volume of depressurized air–water mixture (V), turbidity and ⁶⁰Co concentrations are reported. The effect of the treatment on the efficiency of separation of oily residues is also discussed. The results establish that the coagulant/flocculant system, formed by a modified polyamine (25 mgL^?1) and a slightly cationic polyacrylamide (1.5 mgL^?1), under specific operational conditions (pH = 7, mixing intensity Im₁ = 300 s^?1 and Im₂ = 30 s^?1), allowed the destabilization of colloidal matter, resulting in resistant flocs. It was concluded that by using G/S = 0.3, θ = 15 min, P = 620 kPa and V = 0.0012 m³, the greatest percentage removals of oil, turbidity, total cobalt and ⁶⁰Co were obtained. These preliminary results then show that dissolved air flotation represents a good alternative for treatment of nuclear industry wastewater contaminated with radionuclides.

Landfill leachate treatment using the sequencing batch biofilm reactor method integrated with the electro-Fenton process

A study was conducted on the treatment of landfill leachate by combining the sequencing batch biofilm reactor (SBBR) method with the electro-Fenton method. The reduction of chemical oxygen demand (COD), biological oxygen demand (BOD₅), and ammonia nitrogen (NH ₄ ⁺ -N) from the leachate by the SBBR method was investigated. For the electro-Fenton experiment, the changes in COD and total organic carbon (TOC) with the increase in H₂O₂ dosage and electrolysis time under optimal conditions were also analysed. The results showed that the average efficiencies of reduction of COD, BOD₅, and NH ₄ ⁺ -N achieved using the SBBR method were 21.6 %, 54.7 %, and 56.1 %, respectively. The bio-effluent was degraded by the subsequent electro-Fenton process, which was rapid over the first 30 min then subsequently slowed. After 60 min of the electro-Fenton treatment, the efficiencies of reduction of TOC, COD, and BOD₅ were 40.5 %, 71.6 %, and 61.0 %, respectively. There is a good correlation between the absorbance of leachate at 254 nm (UV₂₅₄) and COD or TOC during the electro-Fenton treatment.

A novel membrane‐less microbial fuel cell (ML‐MFC) which used the baffles instead of the ion exchange membrane (IEM) was developed for ammonium‐containing wastewater treatment and electricity generation. By means of installing an ideal nitrifying unit between the anodic and cathodic chamber, the novel ML‐MFC accomplished organics degradation and nitrogen removal without additional loop. The removal efficiencies of COD, NH₄⁺−N and TN achieved 97.07±0.47 %, 91.76±3.32 % and 87.66±1.59 %, respectively. Meanwhile, the effluent pH was near neutral and turbidity was quite low. In addition, the maximum power density of 1.007±0.032 W/m³ was obtained. Combined with the analysis of microbial community, electroactive bacteria (EAB) Desulfovibrio, Comamonas and Thiobacillus were enriched in biofilm. Considering the superior effluent quality and the promising energy potential, the novel ML‐MFC has good application prospects in efficient and sustainable wastewater treatment.

Synthesis and application of silica and calcium carbonate nanoparticles in the reduction of organics from refinery wastewater

Oil refinery is one of the fast growing industries across the globe and it is expected to progress in the near future. The worldwide increase in the generation of refinery wastewater along with strict environmental regulations in the discharge of industrial effluent, persistent efforts have been devoted to recycle and reuse the treated water. The wastewater from the refining operation leads to serious environmental threat to the ecosystem. Therefore, this study aimed to synthesize silica (SiO₂) and calcium carbonate nanoparticles (CaCO₃) in the reduction of organics from refinery wastewater. The synthesized nanoparticles were employed in the reduction of chemical oxygen demand (COD) from refinery wastewater by studying the influence of solution pH, contact time, dosage of nanoparticles and stirring speed on adsorption performance. From the batch experimental studies, the optimized processing conditions for the reduction of COD using SiO₂ nanoparticles are pH 4.0, dosage 0.5 g, stirring speed 125 rpm and 90 min stirring time, and the corresponding values for CaCO₃ nanoparticles are pH 8.0, dosage 0.4 g, stirring speed 100 rpm and 90 min stirring time. The study demonstrates that SiO₂ and CaCO₃ nanoparticles have a promising future in the reduction organics from refinery wastewater in different pH regimes.

Treatment of pulp and paper mill wastewaters with poly aluminium chloride and bagasse fly ash

The present study deals with the use of poly aluminium chloride (PAC) as a coagulant and bagasse fly ash (BFA), which is generated in sugar mills, as an adsorbent for the removal of chemical oxygen demand (COD) and colour of pulp and paper mill effluents. Under optimal conditions of pH 3 and initial PAC dosage of 3 g/l, about 80% COD removal and 90% colour removal were obtained. The optimal conditions for the adsorptive removal of COD and colour with BFA were pH 4 and BFA dosage of 2 g/l. Under these conditions, COD and colour removal were, respectively, 50 and 55%. Adsorptive removal of COD by BFA followed second-order kinetics. Intra-particle diffusion was found to be rate controlling. Freundlich and Langmuir adsorption isotherms were found to fit the equilibrium adsorption data with BFA. Two-stage treatment using PAC (3 g/l) as a coagulant in the first stage and BFA (2 g/l) as an adsorbent in the second stage gave the combined COD and colour removal of nearly 87 and 95%, respectively, for different effluents without any pH adjustment. Two-stage adsorptive treatment using BFA (2 g/l) in both the stages gave a combined COD and colour removal of about 70%. The sludge obtained can be dewatered by centri-clarifiers, dried, briquetted and incinerated to recover its energy content.

Optimization of solar photocatalytic biodegradability of seawater using statistical modelling

The performance of zinc oxide (ZnO) as a photocatalyst was evaluated for the treatment of pollutants present in seawater. Batch experimental studies were carried out by varying the dosage of photocatalyst (1–4 ​g/L). The effect of reaction time, pH and the dosage of photocatalyst was evaluated with the percentage removal efficiencies of chemical oxygen demand (COD), biological oxygen demand (BOD), total organic carbon (TOC) and the biodegradability (BOD/COD) of the seawater. Response surface methodology-central composite design (RSM-CCD) and artificial neural network-Levenberg Marquardt (ANN-LM) statistical models were employed to optimize the photocatalytic biodegradability (BOD/COD). A quadratic polynomial statistical model was obtained to predict the percentage removal efficiencies of COD, TOC, BOD and biodegradability. For the experimental runs, the maximum percentage removal efficiencies for COD, TOC, BOD was found to be 62.3, 40.1, and 18.8%, respectively. Whereas, the maximum biodegradability was 0.036. As per RSM-CCD and ANN-LM statistical model method the maximum percentage removal efficiencies were found to be COD ​= ​58.14, 60.39%, TOC ​= ​33.74, 40.09%, BOD ​= ​18.47, 18.7% and Biodegradability ​= ​0.0315, 0.0360, respectively. The predicted values from statistical models were well correlated with experimental values. ANN modelling predicted better values for the responses with an average of R² ​= ​0.99697 than RSM modelling with average R² ​= ​0.8948.     

混凝沉淀法处理工业含氟废水的工艺研究

A study on the removal of organic substances from low-turbidity and low-alkalinity water with metal-polysilicate coagulants

The coagulants of poly-aluminum-chloride (PAC), poly-aluminum-silicate-chloride (PASiC) and poly-aluminum-ferric-silicate-chloride (PAFSiC) were prepared in this study to evaluate their coagulation efficiencies and mechanisms in synthetic low-turbidity and low-alkalinity water containing organic matter. The experimental results show that PASiC and PAFSiC could remove the kaolin turbidity of the synthetic water with or without salicylic acid present. On the other hand, when the synthetic water contained both kaolin and humic acid in low turbidity and alkalinity, PAC would remove the turbidity but charge reversal of the colloidal particles would occur easily. Also, effective coagulation was limited to a very narrow dosage range. Conversely, the dosage range for the effective coagulation of both PASiC and PAFSiC was wider, although a higher dosage was required to remove the turbidity of wastewater. Therefore, the effective removal of turbidity was not only related to the kind of coagulant, but also to the types of organic matter. The coagulants PASiC and PAFSiC, particularly, proved themselves to be superior to the PAC in the treatment of low-turbidity water.
