Activation of peroxymonosulfate by catalysts derived from water treatment plant sludge for the simultaneous removal of Disperse Blue 56 and phosphates.

In this study, calcined water treatment plant sludge (C-WTPS) was used as a catalyst for peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation to simultaneously remove Disperse Blue 56 (DB56) and phosphates. Firstly, the performance of the C-WTPS/PMS system was examined for the degradation of DB56. The results showed that 96.

Removal efficacy and mechanism of nitrogen and phosphorus by biological aluminum-based P-inactivation agent (BA-PIA).

In this study, aluminum-based P-inactivation agent (Al-PIA) was used as a high-efficiency microbial carrier, and the biological Al-PIA (BA-PIA) was prepared by artificial aeration. Laboratory static experiments were conducted to study the effect of BA-PIA on reducing nitrogen and phosphorus contents in water. Physicochemical characterization and isotope tracing method were applied to analyze the removal mechanism of nitrogen and phosphorus.

Exploring Br's roles on non-brominated NDMA formation during ozonation: Reactive oxygen species contribution and brominated intermediate path validation.

Bromide ions (Br) affected non-brominated nitroso-dimethylamine (NDMA) formation during ozonation, but the mechanism is still unclear. 1,1,1',1'-tetramethyl-4,4'-(methylene-di-p-phenylene) di-semicarbazide (TMDS) was chosen to further probe this problem. The results indicated that low levels of Br (≤20 μM) enhanced NDMA from 3.

Three kinds of active thin-layer capping materials for reducing the phosphorus load in eutrophic water body: comparison in dynamic experiment.

In this article, dynamic simulation experiments have studied the effects of three capping materials, quartz sand (QS), aluminum-based phosphorus-locking agent (Al-PIA), and lanthanum-modified bentonite (LMB) in reducing phosphorus load in eutrophic water bodies. The changes of various forms of phosphorus in Al-PIA and sediment before and after the test were analyzed, and the mechanism of phosphorus migration and transformation in different capping systems was described. The dynamic simulation test lasted 95 days.

The effect of secondary capping on the control of phosphorus release from sediment by activated thin-layer capping with Al-PIA.

It is well-known that the activated thin-layer capping covering by secondary capping of contaminated sediment poses a threat to the inactivation of activated material. In this study, the static simulation experiment was conducted to study the effect of secondary capping thickness by sediment on the control of TP release from the sediment by aluminum-based P-inactivation agent (Al-PIA), and to propose the phosphorus adsorption pathway of Al-PIA. The results showed that Al-PIA could effectively reduce the release of phosphorus pollutants from the sediment at the capping intensity of 2 kg/m.
