In this paper, a reliable treatment process for olive mill wastewaters (OMWW) is proposed. In order to develop a more sustainable process with polyphenols recovery and water reuse, two treatment schemes have been simulated by using a process simulator (SuperPro Designer), depending on wastewater characteristics; the first applied for ‘biological’ effluents by using membrane technology (microfiltration MF, ultrafiltration UF, nanofiltration NF and reverse osmosis RO), the second for wastewaters containing pesticides, in which RO is replaced with an advanced oxidation process for pesticide degradation. The results of the process analysis showed that the final permeate is a treated water suitable for both disposal in aquatic receptors and for civil or agriculture reuse. Moreover, the results of a techno-economic analysis of the proposed processes is presented, carried out by means of a life cycle cost analysis, considering the mass and energy balances obtained from process analysis. The analysis showed that the first scenario is more economically feasible. In detail, the treatment cost (€/m of OMWW) was 253 and 292 €/m for the first and second case study, respectively. However, the second process scheme result is inappropriate if the wastewater to be treated does not come from biological olive processing.

Adsorption desalination utilizes the discrete adsorption of the water vapor from the evaporator, and is capable of being discharged to the condenser. This study illuminated an advanced cycle of mass and heat recovery among beds, condensers, and evaporators. Morover, the thermodynamic modeling of adsorption desalination systems (ADS) under different operating conditions was investigated. Furthermore, its effect on the evaporator vapor production and the water vapor adsorption and desorption in the adsorption beds were accounted for. Parenthetically, the mathematical model of ADS thermodynamics was validated with the experimental data. Besides, the advanced ADS modeling was conducted via mass and heat recovery among beds, condensers, and evaporators. In addition to the amount of desalinated water, the time history chart of the equipment applied in the process with and without the thermal and mass recovery is also illustrated. Finally, under such operating conditions, the specific daily water production (SDWP) advanced ADS is 153% higher than conventional ADS.

Widely used in chemical product manufacture, 1,4-dioxane is one of the emerging contaminants, and it poses great risk to human health and the ecosystem. The aim of this study was to degrade 1,4-dioxiane using a pulsed switching peroxi-coagulation (PSPC) process. The electrosynthesis of H2O2 on cathode and Fe2+ production on iron sacrifice anode were optimized to enhance the 1,4-dioxane degradation. Under current densities of 5 mA/cm2 (H2O2) and 1 mA/cm2 (Fe2+), 95.3 ± 2.2% of 200 mg/L 1,4-dioxane was removed at the end of 120 min operation with the optimal pulsed switching frequency of 1.43 Hz and pH of 5.0. The low residual H2O2 and Fe2+ concentrations were attributed to the high pulsed switching frequency in the PSPC process, resulting in effectively inhibiting the side reaction during the ·OH production and improving the 1,4-dioxane removal with low energy consumption. At 120 min, the minimum energy consumption in the PSPC process was less than 20% of that in the conventional electro-Fenton process (7.8 ± 0.1 vs. 47.0 ± 0.6 kWh/kg). The PSPC should be a promising alternative for enhancing 1,4-dioxane removal in the real wastewater treatment.

Livestock wastewater reused in farmland may cause tylosin to stay in farmland soil. Under the influence of some factors, such as irrigation and fertilization, tylosin may desorb and diffuse into the water environment. Batch adsorption experiments and soil column flooding experiments were set up to investigate the effects of several cations and iron reduction on the adsorption, desorption and oxidation removal of tylosin in iron-rich farmland soils (red soil). The results showed that tylosin can be adsorbed by the red soil. The coexistence of these cations significantly reduced its adsorption capacity. The order of influence was as follows: Ca2þ>Mg2þ> K>NH4 >Na þ. This means that some agricultural farming measures, such as the application of chemical fertilizers, would release the adsorbed tylosin into the farmland. Anaerobic iron reduction and massive production of ferrous ions did not affect the adsorption and desorption of tylosin in the red soil column. Moreover, the ferrous iron could activate persulfate to generate hydroxyl radicals and sulfate radicals which oxidized and removed the tylosin adsorbed in the soil column. Therefore, the iron reduction that occurred during flooding was not a factor causing tylosin release, which provided a way for tylosin in iron-rich farmland soils to be oxidized and removed.

In this research, effect of productive stages in nitrogen and phosphorus excretion in wastewater from hyperintensive tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) culture was evaluated. Fish were cultivated considering three development stages (fingerling of 1.79 g, juvenile of 36.13 g, and adult of 72.96 g). Nitrite, nitrate, ammonium, and phosphorus concentration were determined in order to know the amount of nutrients excreted per productive stage of the fish at a high stocking density. Biometric data were recorded during the experiment with the purpose of determining the growth behavior of fish, as well as the measurement of the aerobic metabolism. Results showed that survival, growth, and health of fish are not affected by hyperdensity of culture; as well, combined catabolism of proteins and lipids was presented as substrates for energy with value for O:N ratio ranging between 20 and 60. In addition, higher concentration in excretion of nitrogen compounds and phosphorus per gram of fish was recorded in wastewater from a hyperintensive culture in fingerlings than in juveniles and adults. These results suggest the use of this wastewater in the early stages of fish growth, aiming to enhance sustainable systems with maximum use of the resources, such as aquaponics systems.

Supercritical water oxidation (SCWO) technology has a great potential application for the disposal of liquid hazardous wastes. The feeding process is vital for the safety and normal operation of SCWO. This paper describes the feeding preparation strategy of SCWO with multilevel grouping and programming. Based on the physicochemical properties, the liquid hazardous wastes from various industrial manufacturers were first grouped into acid, neutral and alkaline groups. By mixing between samples, the primary grouping tanks were determined to be acid, alkali, amphoteric reacting, organic and organic high-chlorine liquid wastes. By distributing acid, alkali, amphoteric reacting liquid wastes into organic wastes, three parallel feeding routes are regulated for the homogenizing tank phase, which avoids the reaction between wastes. By calculating with the linear programming optimization model of MATLAB, the waste compatibility ratio of each feeding route was determined to meet the feeding requirements of SCWO. The feeding preparation strategy of this paper provides a practical instruction for the SCWO design and operation.

Capacitive deionization (CDI) has been investigated for brackish water desalination, selective removal of ions, and water softening. We used humic acid (HA) and alginate sodium (SA) to simulate different kinds of natural organic matter to investigate the fouling phenomena during CDI operation. Adsorption amount and energy efficiency were studied. Results showed that both SA and HA could decrease the removal of NaCl during CDI operation. There existed a slight decrease of energy consumption in SA solutions which was opposite to that in HA solutions. HA can compete with ions adsorbed by electrodes and attach to electrodes adhesively, resulting in co-ion repulsion. SA is not sensitive to electrical field and its fouling is not obvious. The amount of adsorbed Mg2+ would increase from 0.927 mg/g to 1.508 mg/g in ten cycles' operation and the increment of Ca2+ was from 1.885 mg/g to 2.878 mg/g in SA solutions. This increase of adsorption was due to the complexation between SA and cations. Simultaneously, energy consumption was decreased. In HA solutions, energy consumption of Mg2+ and Ca2+ adsorption increased. In ten cycles' operations, both HA and SA could reduce the efficiency of CDI operation. The types of organic substances are important factors in fouling of CDI electrodes.

This study aimed to investigate the behavioral shifts of constructed wetland (CW) when the treated water was changed from domestic wastewater to mariculture wastewater. The results showed that the average removal efficiencies of ammonium nitrogen (NH4 -N), total nitrogen and chemical oxygen demand (COD) were 29.54, 46.07 and 57.15% in mariculture wastewater, respectively, which were significantly lower than those in domestic wastewater (71.35, 66.34 and 74.98%, respectively). While there was no significant difference in the removal efficiency of nitrate and phosphate (P> 0.05) between the two systems. Based on the analysis of bacterial community and adsorption properties, the results further indicated that the removal mechanism of NH4 -N between both systems was mainly due to substrate adsorption: the maximum adsorption capacity of NH4 -N on the substrate in mariculture wastewater was 5,432 mg kg , whereas that in domestic wastewater was 18,033 mg kg . In terms of bacterial communities, the dominant bacteria at the family level were Victivallaceae (18.63%) in domestic wastewater and Porphyromonadaceae (18.37%) in mariculture wastewater, which showed the significant alteration to the bacterial community. In conclusion, this study showed that conventional CW could be used for treating wastewater from land-based marine aquaculture, while the operating conditions needed to be optimized in the process of application.

Copper-bearing wastewater from chemical mechanical planarization (CMP) is a typical semiconductor development byproduct. How to effectively treat Cu2+ in the CMP wastewater is a great concern in the microchip manufacturing industry. In this study, we investigated the potential for the microbial removal of Cu2+ by a multiple heavy metal-resistant bacterium Cupriavidus gilardii CR3. The environmental factors, including pH, nano-SiO2, ionic strengths, and initial concentrations of Cu2+, and adsorption times on the bioremoval of Cu2+ in CMP wastewater were optimized. Under optimal condition, the maximum biosorption capacity for Cu2+ was 18.25 mg g−1 and the bioremoval rate was 95.2%. The Freundlich model is described well for the biosorption of Cu2+ in CMP wastewater in the presence of nano-SiO2 (R2 = 0.99). The biosorption process obeyed the pseudo-second-order kinetic equation (R2 > 0.99). In the column experiment, the advection–dispersion–retention model fitted the breakthrough curve of all experiments well (R2 > 0.95). The attachment coefficient in the sand matrix coated by CR3 biofilm was 2.24–2.80 times as that in clean sand. Overall, C. gilardii CR3 is a promising candidate to remove Cu2+ from CMP wastewater. Nano-SiO2 in CMP wastewater did not inhibit the bioremoval of Cu2+ but showed a slight promotion effect instead.

In the column experiment, the advection–dispersion–retention model fitted the breakthrough curve of all experiments well (R2 > 0.95). The attachment coefficient in the sand matrix coated by CR3 biofilm was 2.24–2.80 times as that in clean sand. Overall, C. gilardii CR3 is a promising candidate to remove Cu2+ from CMP wastewater. Nano-SiO2 in CMP wastewater did not inhibit the bioremoval of Cu2+ but showed a slight promotion effect instead.","PeriodicalId":17556,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Water Reuse and Desalination","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2021-01-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44979397","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
