AbstractUV is one of well-established ways to deal with bacteria in water. However, when applying on marine bacterium inactivation in ballast water, it shows low efficiency due to the existence of large amounts of plankton. To recover high transmission rate of seawater, plankton are required to be removed before UV radiation. Considering technical and economic feasibility, a novel method of multi-pore ceramic filtration (MPCF) is used as a primary treatment before UV radiation. The study compared UV treatment with MPCF & UV treatment at different flow rates and alga concentrations. The results showed that less than 40% marine bacteria can be inactivated by single UV radiation for the existence of large amounts of algae, while up to 100% inactivation rates were observed by MPCF & UV treatment at high alga concentration. According to the results of orthogonal tests, optimal experimental conditions including UV dose were detected. With the combination of MPCF, lethal UV dose for marine bacteria inactivation can reduce to 8 mW·s·cm

AbstractA combination system of micro-pore ceramic filtration and UV radiation was built up for ballast water treatment. Two treatment methods, single micro-pore ceramic filtration and micro-pore filtration and UV radiation, were studied in the research, respectively. Chlorella removal rates and total oceanic bacteria inactivation rates were measured at different flow rates (0.6 ~ 4.7 m

The aim: In this work we developed a method of continuous recrystallization to meet industrial requirements. Materials and methods: Continuous recrystallization method was investigated using porous ceramic filter for water purification with pour size less than 1 μm, that ensures high mixing rate of ethanol and water. Results and conclusions: The results of experiments using crystallization through ceramic filter, gives superior products in particle size, and produced needle shaped ceftriaxone crystals form, that showed significant improvement in dissolution time and obtained ceftriaxone sodium powder to be reconstituted in injectable formula that give clear solution without insoluble microparticles.

For urgent requirement of onboard ballast water treatment, a combination method of wall-flow structure porous ceramic filtration (PCF) and UV radiation has been prompted and studied systematically in the lab. The paper mainly forcuses on the material selection for PCF in order to obtain a more effective, operational, durable and economic treatment. Hence four types of ceramic materials were compared, and a series of experiments were arranged to test alga removal efficiency, durability and differential pressure of the filters. A fuzzy comprehensive evaluation system was set up to assess filter performance from five aspects. The normalization results show that oxide ceramic wins carbide ceramic at three major fators: resistance, durability and cost.

The aim of the present study was to evaluate responses of potential indicator bacteria (i.e. Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Bacillus subtilis) to the ultraviolet (UV) radiation and the UV/hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) disinfection processes of surface waters with different qualities in terms of humic content. The UV and the UV/H2O2 processes were applied to waters containing various concentrations of fulvic acid in order to inactivate E. coli, P. aeruginosa and B. subtilis spores. Three fulvic acid (0, 2 and 6 mg l−1) and four H2O2 (0, 10, 25 and 50 mg l−1) concentrations were used. Results showed that the k values of E. coli, P. aeruginosa and B. subtilis spores varied between 2.22 and 4.00, 1.73 and 3.58, and 1.40 and 1.86, respectively, in all test conditions. The sensitivity of the test organisms followed a decreasing order of E. coli > P. aeruginosa > B. subtilis. Results of the study indicated that the blocking effect of fulvic acid for the UV light was diminished by using H2O2 in combination with the UV radiation. Findings of the present study strongly suggested that the UV/H2O2 process was significantly effective on the inactivation of E. coli and P. aeruginosa in humic waters, whereas it induced little or no apparent contribution to the disinfection efficiency of B. subtilis spores.

UV radiation, as an effective method for bacteria inactivation, has been applied popularly on ballast water treatment. However, the inactivation efficiencies of UV radiation greatly depend on the UV intensity which distributed unevenly in water and can be deeply affected by the suspending particles in water. For better understanding of the spatial distribution of UV radiation, a 16W UVC lamp was measured underwater to detect the radiant intensity over horizontal and vertical distance. The distribution tendency of UV radiant intensity was probed behind large amounts of experimental data. In addition, four types of different water including tap water, clean seawater, seawater mixed with suspending substances (SS), and seawater mixed with typical algae, were studied to identity the influence of water environment on UV transmission. The impacting significances were compared among different water quality, to optimize the ballast water treatment methods combining with UV radiation.
