The reactor contained two bundles of hollow fiber membranes functioning as an autotrophic biofiim carder and hydrogen pipe as well. On the condition that hydrogen was supplied as electron donor and diffused into water through membrane pores, autohydrogenotrophic bacteria were capable of reducing contaminants to forms with lower toxicity. Reduction occurred within 1 day and removal fluxes for NO3--N, SO42-, BrO3-, Cr（VI）, and p-CNB reached 0.641, 2.396, 0.008, 0.016 and 0.031 g/（day.m2）, respectively after 112 days of continuous operation. Except for the fact that sulfate was 37% removed under high surface loading, the other four contaminants were reduced by over 95 %. The removal flux comparison between phases varying in surface loading and 1-12 pressure showed that decreasing surface loading or increasing 1-12 pressure would promote removal flux. Competition for electrons occurred among the five contaminants. Electron-equivalent flux analysis showed that the amount of utilized hydrogen was mainly controlled by NO3--N and SO42- reduction, which accounted for over 99% of the electron flux altogether. It also indicated the electron acceptor order, showing that nitrate was the most prior electron acceptor while sulfate was the second of the five contaminants.展开更多

Good decomposition efficiencies are obtained which proves that the GA is effective for the treatment of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) with either low or high concentration. A theoretical decomposition mechanism is proposed based on detection of the species in the plasma region and analysis of the decomposition by-products. This preliminary investigation reveals that the GA has potential to be applied to the treatment of exhaust air during color printing and coating works, by either direct removal or combination with activated carbon adsorption/desorption process.展开更多

In this work, Pseudomonas delafieldii R-8 cells are immobilized in calcium alginate beads and used for BDS of transportation fuels. It is found that thiophene and dibenzothiophene （DBT） can be simultaneously metabolized by immobilized R-8 cells. The initial sulfur content in the model oil is 300 mg·kg-1 （thiophene ＂ DI3T= 1 ＂ 1）. After 10 h of treatment, the thiophene concentration is reduced by 40%, while DBT is reduced by 25%. The utilization rate of thiophene is faster than that of DBT. Moreover, the oil/water ratio of alginate immobilized cells is studied to reduce the water volume in desulfurization systems. Long-term recycling of BDS by alginate immobilized cells is carried out with oil/water ratio at 5 ： 1. The immobilized cells are successfully reused over 15 batch cycles. In the last batch, the desulfurization activity remains at least 75% of the first batch.展开更多

X-ray diffraction （XRD）, N2 adsorption-desorption （BET）, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy （XPS） and catalytic removal of ethanol, acetaldehyde and nitrogen oxides at low temperature （〈300 ？C） were used to assess the properties of the catalysts. The results showed that the sample with 1wt% vanadium exhibited an excellent catalytic performance for simultaneous removal of ethanol, acetaldehyde and nitrogen oxides. The conversions of ethanol, acetaldehyde and nitrogen oxides at 250 ？C were 100%, 74.4% and 98.7%, respectively. V-Pd/γ-Al2O3-TiO2 catalyst with 1 wt% vanadium showed the largest surface area and higher dispersion of vanadium oxide on the catalyst surface, and possessed a larger mole fraction of V4＋ species and unique PdO species on the surface, which can be attributed to the strong synergistic effect among palladium, vanadium and the carriers. The higher activity of V-Pd/γ-Al2O3-TiO2 catalyst is related to the V4＋ and Pd2＋ species on the surface, which might be favorable for the formation of active sites.展开更多

The semi-dry flue gas cleaning technology using multi-stages humidifier and additive can improve oxidation and absorption, and it can achieve high multi-pollutants removal efficiency. The CRS discharge can produce many OH radicals that promote NO oxidation. Combining NaOH absorption can achieve high deSO2 and deNO, efficiencies. It is fit for the reconstruction of primary wet flue gas desulfurization （WFGD）. In addition, using NaClO2 as additive in the absorbent of WFGD can obtain very high removal efficiency of SO2 and NOx.展开更多

Removing comm...Great attention should be paid now to simultaneously removing common pollutants, especially inorganic pollutants such as nitrate and heavy metals, as individual removal has been investigated extensively. Removing common pollutants simul- taneously by iron metal is a very effective alternative method. Near neutral pH, heavy metals, such as copper and nickel, can be removed rapidly by iron metal, while nitrate removal very much slower than that of copper and nickel, and copper can accelerate nitrate removal when both are removed simultaneously. Even a little amount of copper can enhance nitrate removal efficiently. Different mechanisms of these contaminants removal by iron metal were also discussed.展开更多

It was found that NOx was reduced by PM in oxygen rich atmosphere, the CO 2 and N 2 were produced in the same temperature window without considering the N 2 formed by plasma decomposition. As a result, the temperature for the PM combustion decreases and the reduction efficiency of NOx to N 2 increases during the plasma process, which indicated that the activity of the catalyst can be improved by plasma. The NOx is decomposed by plasma at both low temperature and high temperature. Therefore, the whole efficiency of NOx conversion is enhanced.展开更多

Carbon and nitrogen removal can be achieved by utilizing the electron transfer between the anode and cathode in an MFC. However,large-scale power production and high removal efficiency must be achieved at a low cost to make MFCs practical and economically competitive in the future.

The effects of adsorbent dosage, solution pH and the coexistent ions on the adsorption were investigated. Experimental results showed that with the adsorbent dosage more than 0.6 g/L, both Pb^2＋ and Cd^2＋ were simultaneously removed at pH range 5-6. Except for HPO4^2-, the high concentration coexistent ions such as Na^＋, K^＋, Cl^-, NO3^-, SO4^2- and HCO3^-, showed no significant effect on the removal efficiency of both Pb^2＋ and Cd^2＋ under the experimental conditions. The coexistence of Mg^2＋, Ca^2＋ caused the reduction of Cd^2＋ removal, but not for Pb^2＋. The adsorption equilibrium for Pb^2＋ and Cd^2＋ could be excellently described by the Langmuir isotherm model with R^2 〉 0.99. The maximum adsorption capacity was calculated as 80.64 mg/g for Pb^2＋ and 21.45 mg/g for Cd^2＋. The adsorption processes followed the pseudo first-order kinetics model. MnO2-loaded D301 resin has been shown to have a potential to be used as an effective adsorbent for simultaneous removal of lead and cadmium ions from aqueous solution.展开更多

文摘A laboratory trial was conducted for evaluating the capability of a continuously stirred hydrogen-based membrane biofllm reactor to simultaneously reduce nitrate （NO3--N）, sulfate （SO42-）, bromate （BrO3-）, hexavalent chromium （Cr（VI）） and para- chloronitrobenzene （p-CNB）. The reactor contained two bundles of hollow fiber membranes functioning as an autotrophic biofiim carder and hydrogen pipe as well. On the condition that hydrogen was supplied as electron donor and diffused into water through membrane pores, autohydrogenotrophic bacteria were capable of reducing contaminants to forms with lower toxicity. Reduction occurred within 1 day and removal fluxes for NO3--N, SO42-, BrO3-, Cr（VI）, and p-CNB reached 0.641, 2.396, 0.008, 0.016 and 0.031 g/（day.m2）, respectively after 112 days of continuous operation. Except for the fact that sulfate was 37% removed under high surface loading, the other four contaminants were reduced by over 95 %. The removal flux comparison between phases varying in surface loading and 1-12 pressure showed that decreasing surface loading or increasing 1-12 pressure would promote removal flux. Competition for electrons occurred among the five contaminants. Electron-equivalent flux analysis showed that the amount of utilized hydrogen was mainly controlled by NO3--N and SO42- reduction, which accounted for over 99% of the electron flux altogether. It also indicated the electron acceptor order, showing that nitrate was the most prior electron acceptor while sulfate was the second of the five contaminants.

文摘Cadmium(Cd),lead(Pb),and hexavalent chromium(Cr(Ⅵ)) are often found in soils and water affected by metal smelting,chemical manufacturing,and electroplating.In this study,synthetic iron sulfide nanoparticles(FeS NPs) were stabilized with carboxymethyl cellulose(CMC) and utilized to remove Cr(Ⅵ),Cd,and Pb from an aqueous solution.Batch experiments,a Visual MINTEQ model,scanning electron microscopy(SEM),X-ray diffraction(XRD),and X-ray photoelectron spectrometer(XPS) analysis were used to determine the removal efficiencies,influencing factors,and mechanisms.The FeS NP suspension simultaneously removed Cr(Ⅵ),Cd,and Pb from an aqueous solution.The concentrations of Cr(Ⅵ),Cd,and Pb decreased from 50,10,and 50 mg·L^(-1) to 2.5,0.1,and 0.1 mg·L^(-1),respectively.The removal capacities were up to 418,96,and 585 mg per gram of stabilized FeS NPs,respectively.The acidic conditions significantly favored the removal of aqueous Cr(Ⅵ) while the alkaline conditions favored the removal of Cd and Pb.Oxygen slightly inhibited the removal of Cr(Ⅵ),but it had no significant influence on the removal of Cd and Pb.A potential mechanism was proposed for the simultaneous removal of Cr(Ⅵ),Cd,and Pb using FeS NPs.The interactions of the three heavy metals involved a cationic bridging effect on Cr(Ⅵ) by Cd,an enhanced adsorption effect on Cd by [Cr,Fe](OH)_3,precipitation of PbCrO_4,and transformation of PbCrO_4 to PbS.Therefore,FeS NPs have a high potential for use in the simultaneous removal of Cr(Ⅵ),Cd,and Pb from contaminated aqueous solutions.

文摘The simultaneous removal of SO_(2),NO_(x)and Hg^(0)from industrial exhaust flue gas has drawn worldwide attention in recent years.A particularly attractive technique is selective catalytic reduction,which effectively removes SO_(2),NO_(x)and Hg^(0)at low temperatures.This paper first reviews the simultaneous removal of SO_(2),NO_(x)and Hg^(0)by unsupported and supported catalysts.It then describes and compares the research progress of various carriers,eg.,carbon-based materials,metal oxides,silica,molecular sieves,metal-organic frameworks,and pillared interlayered clays,in the simultaneous removal of SO_(2),NO_(x)and Hg^(0).The effects of flue-gas components(such as O_(2),NH3,HCl,H2 O,SO_(2),NO and Hg^(0))on the removal of SO_(2),NOx,and Hg^(0)are discussed comprehensively and systematically.After summarizing the pollutantremoval mechanism,the review discusses future developments in the simultaneous removal of SO_(2),NOx and Hg^(0)by catalysts.

文摘Herein,a series of niobium oxide supported cerium nanotubes(Ce NTs)catalysts with different loading amount of Nb_(2)O_(5)(0–10 wt.%)were prepared and used for selective catalytic reduction of NOxwith NH_(3)(NH_(3)-SCR)in the presence of CH_(2)Cl_(2).Commercial V_(2)O_(5)-WO_(3)-TiO_(2) catalyst was also prepared for comparison.The physcial properties and chemical properties of the Nb_(2)O_(5) loaded cerium nanotubes catalysts were investigated by X-ray diffractometer,Transmission electron microscope,Brunauer-Emmett-Teller specific surface area,H_(2)-temperature programmed reduction,NH_(3)-temperature programmed desorption and Xray photoelectron spectroscopy.The experiment results showed that the loading amount of Nb_(2)O_(5) had a significant effect on the catalytic performance of the catalysts.10 wt.%Nb-Ce NTs catalyst presented the best NH_(3)-SCR performance and degradation efficiency of CH_(2)Cl_(2) among the prepared catalysts,due to its superior redox capability,abundant surface oxygen species and acid sites,the interaction between Nb and Ce,higher ratio of Nb^(4+)/(Nb^(5+)+Nb^(4+))and Ce^(3+)/(Ce^(3+)+Ce^(4+)),as well as the special tubular structure of cerium nanotube.This study may provide a practical approach for the design and synthesis of SCR catalysts for the simultaneously removal NOxand chlorinated volatile organic compounds(CVOCs)emitted from the stationary industrial sources.

文摘The simultaneous removal of ethyl acetate, benzene and toluene with relatively low or high initial concentration is studied using a laboratory scale gliding arc gas discharge (GA) reactor. Good decomposition efficiencies are obtained which proves that the GA is effective for the treatment of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) with either low or high concentration. A theoretical decomposition mechanism is proposed based on detection of the species in the plasma region and analysis of the decomposition by-products. This preliminary investigation reveals that the GA has potential to be applied to the treatment of exhaust air during color printing and coating works, by either direct removal or combination with activated carbon adsorption/desorption process.

文摘Biodesulfurization （BDS） is a promising technology for deep desulfurization. In this work, Pseudomonas delafieldii R-8 cells are immobilized in calcium alginate beads and used for BDS of transportation fuels. It is found that thiophene and dibenzothiophene （DBT） can be simultaneously metabolized by immobilized R-8 cells. The initial sulfur content in the model oil is 300 mg·kg-1 （thiophene ＂ DI3T= 1 ＂ 1）. After 10 h of treatment, the thiophene concentration is reduced by 40%, while DBT is reduced by 25%. The utilization rate of thiophene is faster than that of DBT. Moreover, the oil/water ratio of alginate immobilized cells is studied to reduce the water volume in desulfurization systems. Long-term recycling of BDS by alginate immobilized cells is carried out with oil/water ratio at 5 ： 1. The immobilized cells are successfully reused over 15 batch cycles. In the last batch, the desulfurization activity remains at least 75% of the first batch.

文摘V-Pd/γ-Al2O3-TiO2 catalysts with different vanadium contents were prepared by a combined sol-gel and impregnation method. X-ray diffraction （XRD）, N2 adsorption-desorption （BET）, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy （XPS） and catalytic removal of ethanol, acetaldehyde and nitrogen oxides at low temperature （〈300 ？C） were used to assess the properties of the catalysts. The results showed that the sample with 1wt% vanadium exhibited an excellent catalytic performance for simultaneous removal of ethanol, acetaldehyde and nitrogen oxides. The conversions of ethanol, acetaldehyde and nitrogen oxides at 250 ？C were 100%, 74.4% and 98.7%, respectively. V-Pd/γ-Al2O3-TiO2 catalyst with 1 wt% vanadium showed the largest surface area and higher dispersion of vanadium oxide on the catalyst surface, and possessed a larger mole fraction of V4＋ species and unique PdO species on the surface, which can be attributed to the strong synergistic effect among palladium, vanadium and the carriers. The higher activity of V-Pd/γ-Al2O3-TiO2 catalyst is related to the V4＋ and Pd2＋ species on the surface, which might be favorable for the formation of active sites.

文摘The multi-stages humidifier semi-dry flue gas cleaning technology, the CRS plasma flue gas cleaning technology and oxidative additive flue gas cleaning technology were investigated for multi-pollutants removal. The semi-dry flue gas cleaning technology using multi-stages humidifier and additive can improve oxidation and absorption, and it can achieve high multi-pollutants removal efficiency. The CRS discharge can produce many OH radicals that promote NO oxidation. Combining NaOH absorption can achieve high deSO2 and deNO, efficiencies. It is fit for the reconstruction of primary wet flue gas desulfurization （WFGD）. In addition, using NaClO2 as additive in the absorbent of WFGD can obtain very high removal efficiency of SO2 and NOx.

文摘Great attention should be paid now to simultaneously removing common pollutants, especially inorganic pollutants such as nitrate and heavy metals, as individual removal has been investigated extensively. Removing common pollutants simul- taneously by iron metal is a very effective alternative method. Near neutral pH, heavy metals, such as copper and nickel, can be removed rapidly by iron metal, while nitrate removal very much slower than that of copper and nickel, and copper can accelerate nitrate removal when both are removed simultaneously. Even a little amount of copper can enhance nitrate removal efficiently. Different mechanisms of these contaminants removal by iron metal were also discussed.

文摘The activities of ZrO_2-supported precious metal catalysts for simultaneous removal of soot and NO_x in the presence of rich O_2and H_2O as well as SO_2 have been studied by keeping loose contact between catalyst and soot.The results show that only Ru,Ir and Rh have catalytic activity for simultaneous removal of soot and NO_x and the order of catalytic activity is Ru > Ir > Rh.Pt has the catalytic activity only for the removal of soot,and Ag,Pd,and Au have hardly any catalytic activities for the removal of soot and NO_x.The relationships between catalytic activity of precious metal catalysts and various reaction conditions were discussed.

文摘This study aims to optimize the use of lacquer residue biomass(LBM).We investigated the ability of LBM to remove Pb^(2+)heavy metal ions and the typical cationic dye methylene blue(MB)and anionic dye Congo red(CR)by simultaneous adsorption from composite systems,as well as the relevant factors.Scanning electron microscopy(SEM),X-ray diffraction(XRD),and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FTIR)were used to characterize adsorption behavior.The adsorption kinetics of Pb^(2+)-MB/CR composite systems can be effectively characterized by the pseudo-second-order kinetic model(R^(2)>0.97).In the Pb^(2+)-MB composite system,adsorption was antagonistic with similar adsorption sites.However,in the Pb^(2+)-CR composite system,we found that adsorption was synergistic with different adsorption sites,which led to a higher simultaneous adsorption capacity for a higher initial Pb^(2+)-CR concentration,unlike the Pb^(2+)-MB system.In both composite systems,an appropriate increase in LBM dosage and system temperature within a certain range was conducive to simultaneous adsorption and removal of Pb^(2+)-MB/CR composite systems.The optimal solid-liquid ratio and temperature were 1:75 and 30℃,respectively.The adsorption and removal rates of Pb^(2+)and MB were 99.98%and 90.49%,respectively,and those of Pb^(2+)and CR were 93.99%and 77.39%,respectively,in(50,50)mg/L of Pb^(2+)-MB/CR composite systems under these conditions.Adsorption removal of Pb^(2+)and MB improved with higher pH levels,and worsened with the increase of ionic strength in the solution,while the removal rate of CR showed an opposite trend.The coexisting anion and cation types had limited influence on the simultaneous adsorption removal of Pb^(2+),MB,and CR.The results of desorption showed that LBM can be utilized as a disposable material for simultaneously treating Pb^(2+)-MB/CR composite systems.The simultaneous adsorption mechanisms of Pb^(2+)-MB/CR mainly involved hydrogen bonding,π-πbonding interaction,and electrostatic interaction.

文摘The synergetic abatement of multi-pollutants is one of the development trends of flue gas pollution control technology,which is still in the initial stage and facing many challenges.We developed a V_(2)O_(5)/TiO_(2)granular catalyst and established the kinetic model for the simultaneous removal of NO and chlorobenzene(i.e.,an important precursor of dioxins).The granular catalyst synthesized using vanadyl acetylacetonate precursor showed good synergistic catalytic performance and stability.Although the SCR reaction of NO and the oxidation reaction of chlorobenzene mutually inhibited,the reaction order of each reaction was not considerably affected,and the pseudo-first-order reaction kinetics was still followed.The performance prediction of this work is of much value to the understanding and reasonable design of a catalytic system for multi-pollutants(i.e.,NO and dioxins)emission control.

文摘Simultaneous catalytic removal of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans(PCDD/Fs)and nitrogen oxides(NO_(x))emission at low temperature is of great significance to solve the multiple air pollution problem caused during waste incineration.A novel catalyst with excellent low-temperature activity towards PCDD/Fs catalytic decomposition,as well as selective catalytic reduction(SCR)of NO with NH_(3)is urgently needed to simultaneously control PCDD/Fs and NO emis-sions.Manganese-cerium composite oxides supported on titanium dioxide(MnO_(x)-CeO_(2)/TiO_(2))or TiO_(2)and carbon nano-tubes(CNTs)composite carrier(MnO_(x)-CeO_(2)/TiO_(2)-CNTs)were prepared using sol-gel method,and their catalytic activity towards simultaneous abatement of ortho-dichlorobenzene(o-DCBz,model molecular to simulate PCDD/Fs)and NO was investigated.In comparison with their removal,the simultaneous removal efficiencies of o-DCBz and NO over MnO_(x)-CeO_(2)/TiO_(2)catalyst are lowered to 27.9%and 51.3%at 150℃under the gas hourly space velocity(GHSV)of 15,000 h−1,due to the competition between the reactants for the limited surface acid sites and surface reactive oxygen species.CNTs addition improves the catalytic activity for their simultaneous removal.The optimum condition occurs on MnO_(x)-CeO_(2)/TiO_(2)combined with 20 wt.%CNTs that above 70%of o-DCBz and NO are removed simultaneously.Characterization results reveal that MnO_(x)-CeO_(2)/TiO_(2)-CNTs catalyst with proper CNTs content has larger Brunauer-Emmet-Teller surface area and greatly improved surface acidity property,which are beneficial to both o-DCBz and NO adsorption.Moreover,the relatively higher surface atomic concentration of Mn^(4+)as well as the existence of abundant surface Ce^(3+)atom accelerates the redox cycle of the catalyst and enriches the surface reactive oxygen species.All the above factors alleviate the competition effect between o-DCBz catalytic oxidation and NH_(3)-SCR reaction and are conducive to the simultaneous abatement of o-DCBz and NO.However,excess CNTs make less contribution on enhancing the interaction between Mn atom and Ce atom,thereby result-ing in less improvement in the catalytic activity.
文摘The simultaneous removal of NOx and particulate matter(PM) from diesel exhaust is investigated over a mixed metal oxide catalyst of La 0.9 K 0.1 CoO 3 loaded on γ-Al 2O 3 spherules with the assistant of plasma. It was found that NOx was reduced by PM in oxygen rich atmosphere, the CO 2 and N 2 were produced in the same temperature window without considering the N 2 formed by plasma decomposition. As a result, the temperature for the PM combustion decreases and the reduction efficiency of NOx to N 2 increases during the plasma process, which indicated that the activity of the catalyst can be improved by plasma. The NOx is decomposed by plasma at both low temperature and high temperature. Therefore, the whole efficiency of NOx conversion is enhanced.

文摘Poisonous gases,such as H_(2)S and PH3,produced by industrial production harm humans and damage the environment.In this study,H_(2)S and PH3 were simultaneously removed at low temperature by modified activated carbon fiber(ACF)catalysts.We have considered the active metal type,content,precursor,calcination,and reaction temperature.Experimental results exhibited that ACF could best perform by loading 15%Cu from nitrate.The optimized calcination temperature and reaction temperature separately were 550℃ and 90℃.Under these conditions,the most removal capacity could reach 69.7 mg/g and 132.1 mg/g,respectively.Characterization results showed that moderate calcination temperature(550℃)is suitable for the formation of the copper element on the surface of ACF,lower or higher temperature will generate more cuprous oxide.Although both can exhibit catalytic activity,the role of the copper element is significantly greater.Due to the exceptional dispersibility of copper(oxide),the ACF can still maintain the advantages of larger specific surface area and pore volume after loading copper,which is the main reason for better performance of related catalysts.Finally,increasing the copper loading amount can significantly increase the crystallinity and particle size of copper(oxide)on the ACF,thereby improving its catalytic performance.In situ IR found that the reason for the deactivation of the catalyst should be the accumulation of generated H_(2)PO_(4)^(-) and S0_(4)^(2-)(H_(2)0)^(6) which could poison the catalyst.

文摘The coexistence of inorganic and organic contaminants is a challenge for real-life water treatment applications.Therefore,in this research,we used NH_2-MIL-125(Ti)to evaluate the single adsorption of hexavalent chromium(Cr(Ⅵ))or Rhodamine B(RhB)in an aqueous solution and further investigate simultaneous adsorption experiments to compare the adsorption behavior changes.The main influencing factors,for example,reaction time,initial concentration,reaction temperature,and pH were studied in detail.In all reaction systems,the pseudo-second-order kinetic and Langmuir isotherm models were well illuminated the adsorption progress of Cr(Ⅵ)and RhB.Thermodynamic studies showed that the adsorption process was spontaneous and endothermic.As compared to the single system,the adsorption capacity of Cr(Ⅵ)in the binary system gradually decreased as the additive amount of RhB increased,whereas the adsorption capacity of RhB in the binary system was expanded brilliantly.When the binary reaction system contained 100 mg/L Cr(Ⅵ),the removal rate of RhB increased to 97.58%.The formation of Cr(Ⅵ)-RhB and Cr(Ⅲ)-RhB complexes was the cause that provided facilitation for the adsorption of RhB.These findings prove that the interactions during the water treatment process between contaminants may obtain additional benefits,contributing to a better adsorption capacity of co-existing contaminant.

文摘Performance of a full-scale anoxic-oxic activated sludge treatment plant（4.0×10-5 m-3/day for the first-stage project） was followed during a year.The plant performed well for the removal of carbon,nitrogen and phosphorus in the process of treating domestic wastewater within a temperature range of 10.8℃ to 30.5℃.Mass balance calculations indicated that COD utilization mainly occurred in the anoxic phase,accounting for 88.2% of total COD removal.Ammonia nitrogen removal occurred 13.71% in the anoxic zones and 78.77% in the aerobic zones.The contribution of anoxic zones to total nitrogen（TN） removal was 57.41%.Results indicated that nitrogen elimination in the oxic tanks was mainly contributed by simultaneous nitrification and denitrification（SND）.The reduction of phosphorus mainly took place in the oxic zones,51.45% of the total removal.Denitrifying phosphorus removal was achieved biologically by 11.29%.Practical experience proved that adaptability to gradually changing temperature of the microbial populations was important to maintain the plant overall stability.Sudden changes in temperature did not cause paralysis of the system just lower removal efficiency,which could be explained by functional redundancy of microorganisms that may compensate the adverse effects of temperature changes to a certain degree.Anoxic-oxic process without internal recycling has great potential to treat low strength wastewater（i.e.,TN 〈 35 mg/L） as well as reducing operation costs.

文摘MnO2-10aded D301 weak basic anion exchange resin has been used as adsorbent to simultaneously remove lead and cadmium ions from aqueous solution. The effects of adsorbent dosage, solution pH and the coexistent ions on the adsorption were investigated. Experimental results showed that with the adsorbent dosage more than 0.6 g/L, both Pb^2＋ and Cd^2＋ were simultaneously removed at pH range 5-6. Except for HPO4^2-, the high concentration coexistent ions such as Na^＋, K^＋, Cl^-, NO3^-, SO4^2- and HCO3^-, showed no significant effect on the removal efficiency of both Pb^2＋ and Cd^2＋ under the experimental conditions. The coexistence of Mg^2＋, Ca^2＋ caused the reduction of Cd^2＋ removal, but not for Pb^2＋. The adsorption equilibrium for Pb^2＋ and Cd^2＋ could be excellently described by the Langmuir isotherm model with R^2 〉 0.99. The maximum adsorption capacity was calculated as 80.64 mg/g for Pb^2＋ and 21.45 mg/g for Cd^2＋. The adsorption processes followed the pseudo first-order kinetics model. MnO2-loaded D301 resin has been shown to have a potential to be used as an effective adsorbent for simultaneous removal of lead and cadmium ions from aqueous solution.
