The performance capability of granular activated carbon (GAC) adsorption in terms of disinfection by-product (DBPs) removal was investigated with synthetic water containing 1) trihalomethanes (THMs), 2) haloacetronitriles (HANs), and 3) Mix-THMs & HANs. The initial 20 min of adsorption resulted in the maximum adsorption rate, with the total THMs, total HANs, and total Mix-THMs & HANs being 4.972, 2.071, and 6.460 µg/gGAC-min, respectively. GAC dosage affects the adsorption selectivity of THMs and HANs. Under a low GAC dosage, the selectivity of GAC adsorbs more bromo-THMs than chloro-THMs. The adsorption selectivity of THMs on GAC following bromoform > dibromochloromethane > bromodichloromethane > chloroform was investigated. As the GAC concentration increased, the selectivity of THM adsorption by GAC became comparable. Chloro-HAN, in contrast to THMs, has a higher adsorption selectivity than bromo-HAN. Trichloroacetonitrile was removed by GAC more rapidly than the other HAN species when the GAC dose was increased. The toxin of bromoform was primarily eliminated through GAC adsorption, caused by a greater removal rate than that of the other THMs. As an implemented measure, GAC is introduced to reduce THMs and HANs and the toxic contents associated with THMs and HANs.
用含有 1)三卤甲烷(THMs)、2)卤代乙腈(HANs)和 3)混合三卤甲烷和卤代乙腈的合成水研究了颗粒活性炭(GAC)吸附去除消毒副产物(DBPs)的性能。最初 20 分钟的吸附率最高,THMs 总量、HANs 总量和混合-THMs & HANs 总量分别为 4.972、2.071 和 6.460 µg/gGAC-min。GAC 的用量会影响对 THMs 和 HANs 的吸附选择性。在较低的 GAC 用量下,GAC 的选择性吸附溴-THMs 多于氯-THMs。研究了三卤甲烷在 GAC 上的吸附选择性:溴甲烷 > 二溴氯甲烷 > 溴二氯甲烷 > 氯仿。随着 GAC 浓度的增加,GAC 对 THM 的吸附选择性变得相当。与三卤甲烷相比,氯-氢的吸附选择性高于溴-氢。当 GAC 的剂量增加时,GAC 去除三氯乙腈的速度比去除其他 HAN 种类的速度更快。溴甲烷毒素主要通过 GAC 吸附去除,其去除率高于其他三卤甲烷。作为一项实施措施,采用 GAC 可以减少三卤甲烷和 HANs 以及与三卤甲烷和 HANs 相关的有毒物质。

In this study, horseradish peroxidase (HRP) enzyme was immobilized on Pd(II) containing polymeric microspheres by adsorption method and used for the decolourisation of Methyl Orange (MO) and Rhodamine B (RB) dyes. The synthesized microspheres were characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and Scanning Electron Microscopy-Energy Dispersive X-ray (SEM/EDX), Thermal Gravimetric Analysis (TGA). The effects of pH, dye concentration, temperature, and H2O2 concentration on the decolourisation of MO and RB were determined. According to the results of various parameters studied, when 2-AEPS-napht-HRP support was used, MO and RB were biodegraded to 69.72% and 80.65%, respectively, within 60 min. When 2-AEPS-napht-Pd-HRP support was used, MO and RB were biodegraded to 58.35% and 90.81%, respectively, under optimum conditions. When the reproducibility results of the immobilized supports were examined, it was observed that they remained efficient during the first five reusability cycles and even reached 65% decolourisation efficiency after the 9th reuse. The immobilized enzyme (2AEPS-npht-HRP and 2AEPS-npht-Pd-HRP) showed remarkable resistance to higher temperatures compared to the free enzyme.

Aquaponics is a promising solution for addressing food security concerns. Nonetheless, an effective water-purification system is necessary to achieve high and stable yields of fish and vegetables. This study aimed to evaluate the nitrification and oxygen transfer performance of a laboratory-scale down-flow hanging sponge (DHS) reactor with a Brassica oleracea aquaponics system to treat water in an Oreochromis niloticus closed-aquaculture system. The DHS reactor showed a higher oxygen transfer coefficient (KLa) than the conventional aerator and provided an adequate dissolved oxygen (DO) concentration of approximately 5.5 mg/L essential for O. niloticus growth throughout the experimental period. The evaluated DHS-based aquaponic system maintained high water quality in an aquaculture tank, with a survival rate of 97%. The O. niloticusgrew at a low feed conversion ratio of 1.5-2.1 and a low feeding rate of 0.5% at high stocking densities of 17.5-22.2 kg-fish-weight/m3. 16S rRNA gene sequencing indicated that the DHS sponge carrier effectively retained nitrifying bacteria such as Nitrosomonas and Nitrospira. This study demonstrated that the DHS reactor provided a high DO concentration and that a simultaneous DHS reactor with a hydroponic tank provided a low-cost aquaponic system that could be applied for food production in the aquaculture industry.
