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

When simultaneous absorbing SO2 and NO, the precipitation of Co2(SO3)3 will be yielded and the NO removal will be decreased. A new catalyst system using Co(en)3^3+ coupled with urea has been developed to simultaneous remove NO and SO2 in the flue gas. NO is absorbed and catalytically oxidized to nitrite and nitrate by Co(en)3^3+. The dissolved oxygen in scrubbing solution from the feed stream acts as oxidant. Urea restrains the precipitation of Co2(SO3)3 by oxidizing SO3^2-to SO4^2- as COSO4 is more soluble in water. The experimental results proved that nearly all SO3^2- can be oxidized to SO4^2- and the high NO and SO2 removal could be obtained with the new system. The NO removal is influenced by gas flow rate, the concentration of Co(en)3^3+ and urea in the absorption solution, the temperature of the scrubbing solution and the content of oxygen in the flue gas. The low gas flow rate is favorable to increase the NO removal. The experiments proved that the NO removal could be maintained at more than 95% by the system of 0.02 mol/L Co(en)3^3+ and 1% urea at 50℃ with 10% O2 in the flue gas.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

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

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

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

The best C/N for the degradation of azo dyes by PDDS was 1.5. The specific removal rate of azo dye AB92 decreased with a decrease in hydraulic retention time and increased with a decrease in solids retention time. The degradation rate of TOC decreased with a decrease in hydraulic retention time. AB92, which has nitro and hydroxyl substitutions in non para positions, was uniquely degraded. During continuous flow treatment experiments using PDDS, complete degradation of azo dyes AB92 and AO20 at influent concentrations of 40 mg/L and 30 mg/L, respectively, was achieved with an HRT of 16.展开更多

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Absorption and catalytic oxidation of nitric oxide can be achieved by using cobalt(Ⅲ) ethylenediamine (Co(en)3^3+. When simultaneous absorbing SO2 and NO, the precipitation of Co2(SO3)3 will be yielded and the NO removal will be decreased. A new catalyst system using Co(en)3^3+ coupled with urea has been developed to simultaneous remove NO and SO2 in the flue gas. NO is absorbed and catalytically oxidized to nitrite and nitrate by Co(en)3^3+. The dissolved oxygen in scrubbing solution from the feed stream acts as oxidant. Urea restrains the precipitation of Co2(SO3)3 by oxidizing SO3^2-to SO4^2- as COSO4 is more soluble in water. The experimental results proved that nearly all SO3^2- can be oxidized to SO4^2- and the high NO and SO2 removal could be obtained with the new system. The NO removal is influenced by gas flow rate, the concentration of Co(en)3^3+ and urea in the absorption solution, the temperature of the scrubbing solution and the content of oxygen in the flue gas. The low gas flow rate is favorable to increase the NO removal. The experiments proved that the NO removal could be maintained at more than 95% by the system of 0.02 mol/L Co(en)3^3+ and 1% urea at 50℃ with 10% O2 in the flue gas.

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Diesel engine exhaust comprises nitrogen oxides(NOx)and soot particles,which cause serious air pollution.However,owing to the contradictory nature of NO_(x)reduction and soot oxidation,a trade-off exists in the simultaneous removal of NO_(x)and soot.Consequently,catalytic technology has become a hot research topic.This study prepared MOδ/Fe-Beta(M=Fe,Co,Ni,Mn,Cu)catalysts through incipient wetness impregnation using Fe-Beta as the support and explored the catalytic performance of the above catalysts.The results exhibited the good performance of the prepared catalysts.The introduction of Mn resulted in a lower peak temperature of soot combustion for the catalyst,and slightly decreased deNOx performance of Fe-Beta.The soot combustion temperature was as low as 422℃,and the temperature window for 80%NO conversion was 164-423℃.The interaction between MnOd and zeolite can regulate the acid sites and produce sufficient active oxygen species for the catalyst.The catalytic activity of the MnOδ/Fe-Beta catalyst is due to its strong redox property,the appropriate number of acid sites,and sufficient number of active oxygen species.In addition,the catalyst had good stability and water and sulfur resistance,therefore it had great potential for future application in the simultaneous removal of NO_(x)and soot from diesel engine exhaust.

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The coexistence of emerging containments,such as antibiotic resistant bacteria(ARB),antibiotic-resistant genes(ARGs)and antibiotics,potentially influence elimination efficiencies in UV light-emitting diode(UV-LED)alone and UV-LED/H_(2)O_(2) system as their complex interactions.Tetracycline(TC)degradation efficiency(kF)correlated closely with its UV molar absorbance(R^(2)=0.831)in UV-LED alone system and with·OH yield(R^(2)=0.999)in UV-LED/H_(2)O_(2) system across studied wavelengths(265,280 and 310 nm).The kF values for intracellular DNA(i-ARGs)also exhibited a high correlation with UV-LED wavelengths in both systems(R^(2)=0.997-0.999).The coexistence of TC and ARB/ARGs resulted in a mutual inhibition of their degradation efficiencies due to competition for photons and·OH,along with the consequent reduction in intracellular ROS within ARB,with their degradation efficiencies exhibiting marked dependence on wavelength in both systems.Notably,the UV-LED/H_(2)O_(2) system at 265 nm effectively achieved the simultaneous removal of TC,ARB and ARGs with minimal energy consumption,and successfully fragmented ARGs.The degradation pathway of TC was analyzed,and the biotoxicity of its degradation intermediates demonstrated the environmental friendliness and safety of UV-LED/H_(2)O_(2) technology.This study elucidated the competitive interactions between antibiotics and ARB/ARGs within UV-LED/H_(2)O_(2) system,providing a promising approach for their simultaneous removal while ensuring energy efficiency.
文摘Simultaneous removals of dye and nitrate by photo dependent denitrifying sludge(PDDS) have been demonstrated in a continuous flow bench scale reactor. The best C/N for the degradation of azo dyes by PDDS was 1.5. The specific removal rate of azo dye AB92 decreased with a decrease in hydraulic retention time and increased with a decrease in solids retention time. The degradation rate of TOC decreased with a decrease in hydraulic retention time. AB92, which has nitro and hydroxyl substitutions in non para positions, was uniquely degraded. During continuous flow treatment experiments using PDDS, complete degradation of azo dyes AB92 and AO20 at influent concentrations of 40 mg/L and 30 mg/L, respectively, was achieved with an HRT of 16.

文摘L-threonine(L-Thr) obtained by fermentation often contains vestigial hydrosoluble Pb(Ⅱ), Fe(Ⅱ), L-glutamic acid(L-Glu) etc., which affect the product quality. Poly melamine and L-aspartic acid(L-Asp) resin functional coconut shell activated carbon composite(PMA/AC) was prepared by a pressure relief-dipping-microwave assisted polymerization method for the simultaneous removals. The adsorption capacities of Pb(Ⅱ), Fe(Ⅱ) and L-Glu could reach to 82.34 mg·g^(-1), 57.82 mg·g^(-1) and 102.58 mg·g^(-1) at conditions of pH 5.0, 45 °C and 4 h with an initial concentration of 0.01 mol·L^(-1), respectively. The present PMA/AC was successfully used to the simultaneous removals of vestigial Pb(Ⅱ), Fe(Ⅱ) and L-Glu from the fermented crude product solution of L-Thr. Moreover, the PMA/AC was carefully characterized by FE-SEM, IR et al. analysis techniques, the results show that abundant PMA particles evenly distributed at the inner and outside surface of AC with a size of(50 ± 20) nm.
