A field pilot test was conducted on a macro-electrolysis/biological filter with immobilized microorganism system (ME/I-BF) in the Liaohe oilfield, China to treat super heavy oil wastewater with large amounts of dissolved recalcitrant organic compounds and low nutrients of nitrogen and phosphorus. By operating the system for 155 days (including the start-up of 28 days), the BOD/COD ratio of water increases from 0.13 to 0.22 and the COD removal rate is 47.46% after the ME treatment. Then, the COD decreases to 100 mg/L and the COD removal rate is 80.96% after I-BF treatment. When indigenous microorganisms inoculated, the effluent gets better, COD decreases to 70 mg/L and the removal rate of COD increases to 88.54%. Gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) indicated that the super heavy oil wastewater contains 11 organic compounds and most of them are removed after treatment. This integrated system is a useful option for the treatment of heavy oil wastewater.

In the present work, a novel compound purifying tank was adopted in the rural sanitary sewage treatment. The cultivation and acclimation of biological film could be completed in a short start-up by aerobic precoating. According to the running results,the average COD removal rate reached 59.62%,and the removal efficiency of TP was 33.4%.For the denitrogenation,the removal rates were not remarkable (21.7 to NH4+-N,21.9 to TN),but the large removal quantity of NH4+-N and TN were abtained as 8.58mg/L and 9.12mg/L,respectively. The study suggests that the compound purifying tank is a potential alternative for rural sanitary sewage treatment.

In order to improve the biological oxidation and phosphorous removal in BAF, compound inoculation method was introduced to start two stage biological filters by alternative aeration. The two stage biological filters were connected by serial way, and three phases "batch aeration phase, the phase of small flow water for gradually increasing in the load, the alternative aeration phase" were adopted as the start up procedure. The experimental results showed that: COD removal rate was 83.3% after the former two stages; Ammonia nitrogen removal rate was stable at 81.5% while the TP removal efficiency was 68.9% and COD removal rate reached above 80% at the end of the third phase. Totally, 25 days were necessary for the biofilm formation in two stages BAF.

The start-up characteristics of internal circulation anaerobic reactor were studied using anaerobic sludge of UASB as vicinal sludge. The concentration of influent COD was kept at 2500mg/L initially, then the influent flow increased from 1L/h to 2.5L/h gradually, and the removal rate retained around 85.0% to 93.5%. During the middle-period of the experiment, the influent flow was maintained at 2.5L/h, and the influent COD concentration was gradually increased from 2500mg/L to 10500mg/L, the removal rate of 91.2%~94.6% was obtained now. At the end period of the experiment, the influent COD concentration was kept at 10500mg/L, and the influent flow was increased from 2.5L/h to 3L/h gradually. When the volume loading was improved to 55.04kg COD/ (m3 • d), the COD removal rate reached 88.3%.

Chemical synthetic pharmaceutical wastewater has characteristics of high concentration, high toxicity and poor biodegradability, so it is difficult to directly biodegrade. We used acid modified attapulgite (ATP) supported Fe-Mn-Cu polymetallic oxide as catalyst for multi-phase Fenton-like ultraviolet photocatalytic oxidation (photo-Fenton) treatment with actual chemical synthetic pharmaceutical wastewater as the treatment object. The results showed that at the initial pH of 2.0, light distance of 20 cm, and catalyst dosage and hydrogen peroxide concentration of 10.0 g/L and 0.5 mol/L respectively, the COD removal rate of wastewater reached 65% and BOD5/COD increased to 0.387 when the reaction lasted for 180 min. The results of gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) indicated that Fenton-like reaction with Fe-Mn-Cu@ATP had good catalytic potential and significant synergistic effect, and could remove almost all heterocycle compounds well. 3D-EEM (3D electron microscope) fluorescence spectra showed that the fluorescence intensity decreased significantly during catalytic degradation, and the UV humus-like and fulvic acid were effectively removed. The degradation efficiency of the nanocomposite only decreased by 5.8% after repeated use for 6 cycles. It seems appropriate to use this process as a pre-treatment for actual pharmaceutical wastewater to facilitate further biological treatment.

Industrial wastewater treatment using Sequencing Batch Reactor (SBR) can improve effluent quality at lower cost than that obtained by other biological treatment methods. Further optimization is still required to enhance effluent quality until it meets standard quality and to reduce the operating cost of treatment of high strength organic wastewater. The purpose of this research was to determine the effect of pretreatment (pH adjustment and prechlorination) and aeration time on effluent quality and COD removal rate in tapioca wastewater treatment using SBR. Pretreatment was done by (1) adjustment of tapioca wastewater pH to control (4.92), 7, and 8, and (2) tapioca wastewater prechlorination at pH 8 during hour using calcium hypochlorite in variation dosages 0, 2, 4, 6 mg/L Cl2, SBR operation was conducted according to following steps: (1) Filling of pre-treated wastewater into a bioreactor during 1 hour, and (2) aeration of the mixture of tapioca wastewater and activated sludge during 8 hours. Effluent sample was collected at every 2-hours aeration for COD analysis. COD removal rate mathematical formula was got by first deriving the best fit function between aeration time and COD. Optimum aeration time resulting in no COD removal rate. The value of COD effluent and its removal rate in optimum aeration time was used to determine the recommended of operation condition of pretreatment. Research result shows that chosen pH operation condition is pH 8. Prechorination can make effluent quality which meets standard quality and highest COD removal rate. The chosen Cl2 dosage is 6 mg/L.

In the presence of acetic acid, the effects of pH, processing time, addition of Fe2+ and H2O2 on dye wastewater treatment were studied. Experimental results showed that in the presence of acetic acid, when the pH value was 4, the processing time was 30.0min, addition of ferrous sulfate was 4.8g/L, and addition of hydrogen peroxide was 56mL/L, the treatment effect was the best, COD removal rate reached 51.0%. Further studied of the effect of the presence of acetic acid on Fenton’s oxidation of dye wastewater, the results showed that without of acetic acid, the COD removal rate was higher than that with acetic acid. And the effect of Fenton's reagent on oxidation of dye substances was interfered by the presence of acetic acid.

This study investigated the effects of 2,4-dichlorophenol on reduction of activated sludge in membrane bioreactors. Significant inhibition on sludge growth and slight reduction in COD removal were observed at higher 2,4-dichlorophenol dosages. The deviation between relative specific COD removal rate (q/q0) and relative specific growth rate (μ/μ0) suggested that a minimum 2,4-dichlorophenol concentration was required for uncoupling of anabolism and catabolism. With the increase of the dosage of 2,4-dichlorophenol, stepwise improvement of biomass bioactivity and the reduction in activated sludge production were achieved simultaneously. Compared with the control bioreactor, the peak distribution of floc size in the 2,4-dichlorophenol added bioreactor shifted to a range of smaller floc size. Besides, addition of 2,4-dichlorophenol caused little variation of microorganism community structure and SVI value of the sludge. After 24-hour operation, the residue 2,4-dichlorophenol concentration in the bioreactors was reduced to a negligible level.
