Polymer-flooding produced water treatment using an electro-hybrid ozonation-coagulation system with novel cathode membranes targeting alternating filtration and in situ self-cleaning.

Polymer-flooding produced water is more difficult to treat for reinjection compared with normal produced water because of the presence of residual hydrolyzed polyacrylamide (HPAM). A novel cathode membrane integrated electro-hybrid ozonation-coagulation (CM-E-HOC) process was proposed for the treatment of polymer-flooding produced water. This process achieved in situ self-cleaning by generated microbubbles in the cathode membrane.

Cationic content effects of biodegradable amphoteric chitosan-based flocculants on the flocculation properties.

A series of biodegradable amphoteric chitosan-based flocculants (3-chloro-2-hydroxypropyl trimethyl ammonium chloride (CTA) modified carboxymethyl chitosan, denoted as CMC-CTA) with different substitution degrees of CTA were prepared successfully. The content of carboxymethyl groups in each CMC-CTA sample was kept almost constant. The solubility of the various flocculants showed that, higher cationic content of flocculants caused a better solubility.

[Emergent treatment of source water contaminated by representative chemicals].

Emergent treatment of source water polluted by representative chemical bisphenol-A (BPA) and Di-ethyl phthalate (DEP) was researched. The results indicate that activated carbon adsorption could achieve high efficiencies to remove the two chemicals. The pseudo second-order adsorption kinetic model and Elovich kinetic model can be used to describe the powdered activated carbon (PAC) adsorption process of BPA and DEP in raw water.

[Emergent treatment process for raw water polluted by heavy metal Pb (II)].

Based on two common coagulants-polyferric sulfate (PFS) and polyaluminum chloride (PACl), some measurements and processes in the background of Pb (II) concentration sudden increase in water were studied. The removal efficiency of Pb(II) was compared between PAC and diatomite absorption with coagulation. The effect of coagulant dosage, initial concentration of Pb(II), pH value and KMnO4 preoxidation on coagulation were investigated.

[Emergent treatment of source water contaminated by representative herbicide molinate and ametryn].

Emergent treatment of source water polluted by representative herbicide molinate and ametryn was researched. The results indicate that activated carbon adsorption and prechlorination could achieve high efficiencies to remove the herbicides. The pseudo second-order adsorption kinetic model and Freundlich adsorption isotherm model can be used to describe the adsorption process and the adsorption equilibrium of molinate and ametryn adsorbed by powdered activated carbon (PAC) in raw water respectively.
