The removal efficiency of degrading flora which has been constructed is investigated in biological carbon process through the variation of COD and chromaticity. The results show that the efficient degrading strains can reproduce on the activated carbon quickly；the biological activated carbon reactor，in which degrading flora to coking waste water are inoculated，is adopted to carry out the treatment of wastewater，in such a way the COD and chromaticity in outflow water can remain at a lower level (with COD about 50mg/L and chromaticity about 50 degree). The average COD removal rate is 71% and the chromaticity removal ratio is 95%.

Aim at experimenting the micro-polluted characteristic of Huaihe River water, a pilot-scale test by the combination process of ozone/ultraviolet (UV) /biological activated carbon (BAC) filter for advanced treatment of drinking water was applied. The removal efficiency of general pollution indexes by combined process with different ozone dosages (1.0~3.0 mg/L) was investigated. Along with the increase of ozone dosage, the removal efficiency of CODMn and UV254 generally increased in ozone/UV oxidation process; The removal effect of NO2--N by ozone/UV oxidation was obvious; The removal of turbidity and NH3-N was mainly in BAC filter phase; When the ozone dosage was 2.0~2.5 mg/L, the general pollution indexes had gotten satisfying results, thus it was not necessary to increase the ozone dosage.

Cod Removal Rate

The blue coke activated carbon (BAC) modified by nitric acid at different concentrations was used as an adsorbent to remove COD from coking wastewater. Characterization of BAC was performed using N2 adsorption/desorption techniques, scanning electron microscope (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and Boehm titration. The results showed the Brunner–Emmet–Teller (BET) specific surface area and iodine value of BAC became higher after modification, and the adsorption capacity of BAC for coking wastewater was effectively improved with nitric acid modification. The optimal nitric acid concentration for modification was 3 mol/L (BAC-N3), which had more acid functional group contents than unmodified. The chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal rate was to reach 77.05% when 4 g BAC-N3 was added into 50 mL coking wastewater in 120 min with a shaking speed of 100 rpm at 25°C. Langmuir model could better describe equilibrium adsorption data by BAC-N3, and the kinetic study showed that the adsorption process was best fitted by the pseudo-second-order kinetic model.

Hydrolysis Of

Hydrolysis and degradation of particulate organic matter has been isolated and investigated in laboratory scale and pilot scale biofilters. Wastewater was supplied to biofilm reactors in order to accumulate particulates from wastewater in the filter. When synthetic wastewater with no organic matter was supplied to the reactors, hydrolysis of the particulates was the only process occurring. Results from the laboratory scale experiments under aerobic conditions with pre-settled wastewater show that the initial removal rate is high: rV, O2 = 2.1 kg O2/(m3 d) though fast declining towards a much slower rate. A mass balance of carbon (TOC/TIC) shows that only 10% of the accumulated TOC was transformed to TIC during the 12 hour long experiment. The pilot scale hydrolysis experiment was performed in a new type of biofilm reactor - the B2A® biofilter that is characterised by a series of decreasing sized granular media (80-2.5 mm). When hydrolysis experiments were performed on the anoxic pilot biofilter with pre-screened wastewater particulates as carbon source, a rapid (rV, NO3=0.7 kg NO3-N/(m3 d)) and a slowler (rV, NO3 = 0.3 kg NO3-N/(m3 d)) removal rate were observed at an oxygen concentration of 3.5 mg O2/l. It was found that the pilot biofilter could retain significant amounts of particulate organic matter, reducing the porosity of the filter media of an average from 0.35 to 0.11. A mass balance of carbon shows that up to 40% of the total incoming TOC accumulates in the filter at high flow rates. Only up to 15% of the accumulated TOC was transformed to TIC during the 24 hour long experiment.

New Biology

A number of new technologies for the advanced treatment of wastewater have recently been developed. The oxidative cometabolic transformation by methanotrophs and by nitrifiers represent new approaches in relation to organic carbon. The Biological Activated Carbon Oxidative Filters characterized by thin biofilms are also promising in that respect. Moreover, implementing genetically modified organisms with improved catabolic potential in advanced water treatment comes into perspective. For very refractory effluents chemical support techniques, like e.g. strong chemical oxidation, can be lined up with advanced biology.

Abstract The occurrence and severity of cyanobacterial and algal blooms in water supplies has been increasing due to the effects of eutrophication and climate change, resulting in more frequent taste and odour (T&O) events. Conventional treatment processes have been found to be inefficient in removing the two most commonly detected algal T&O compounds, geosmin and 2-methylisoborneol (MIB), though granular activated carbon (GAC) and biological activated carbon (BAC) contactors have achieved high T&O removal rates. Literature on the performance of GAC and BAC for T&O removal in full-scale treatment plants, however, is limited. This review collates and assesses pilot-scale and full-scale studies which focus on removal of geosmin and MIB, with the aim of understanding the factors which influence T&O removal and determining knowledge gaps in the use of GAC and BAC. Age and empty bed contact time (EBCT) were found to have a significant impact on GAC performance, with removal efficiency decreasing with increased age and increasing with longer EBCTs. BAC contactors have achieved higher removal rates than non-biologically active GAC contactors and were not impacted by age, EBCT and/or carbon type. From these observations, implementation of BAC for T&O removal would be favourable; however, further investigations are required to understand full-scale performance of BAC and service life modelling.

New Material

A kind of new adsorption material for wastewater treatment was made of fly ash as the main composition, with addition of sodium silicate, cement and pore forming material as the accessory materials, etc. Three kinds of practical wastewater were treated by using the new material, they were printing and dyeing wastewater, papermaking wastewater and coking wastewater, respectively. The results showed that removal COD efficiencies of the three kinds of wastewater were 57.89%, 71.43%, 80%, respectively, removal color efficiencies were 90%, 92%, 92%, respectively. The new developed material was mainly used for advanced treatment of the effluent water after biochemical process. It will be a substitute for activated carbon materials and have preferable application prospect.
