Comparative assessment of water treatment using polymeric and inorganic coagulants     

《Physics and Chemistry of the Earth》2016

Portable water plays a vital role in improving human life, particularly in controlling the spread of diseases. However, problems associated with lack of potable water are still common especially in developing countries including Malawi. Until now little information exists on the effectiveness of available commercial coagulants used by national water boards in Malawi. Therefore, this study was undertaken in Southern Region Water Board (SRWB) to investigate the efficiency of polymeric coagulants (sufdfloc 3850 and algaefloc 19s) in turbidity reduction comparative with inorganic coagulant (aluminium sulphate) at Zomba, Liwonde, Mangochi, Chikwawa and Mulanje Treatment plants. The jar test method was used to determine the effectiveness of the water coagulants. The results revealed that sudfloc 3850 was most effective in reducing turbidity at Mangochi (99.4 ± 0.06%) and Liwonde (97.2 ± 0.04%) using 0.4 mg L⁻¹ flocculant dose. The Zomba, Mulanje and Chikwawa plants gave 19.56 ± 0.03%, 29.23 ± 0.02% and 9.43 ± 0.02% total reductions respectively. Algaefloc 19s afforded the highest turbidity reduction at Liwonde and Mangochi plants (98.66 ± 0.06 and 97.48 ± 0.05% at a dose of 0.4 and 0.6 mg L⁻¹ respectively), while Chikwawa provided the lowest (9.52 ± 0.01%). At the Zomba and Mulanje plants 20.5 ± 0.03% and 28.4 ± 0.04% reductions were obtained respectively. The inorganic flocculant, alum provided a 99.0 ± 0.05% and 98.6 ± 0.04% reduction at a dose of 4.0 mg L⁻¹ and 6.0 mg L⁻¹ at Zomba and Liwonde plants respectively. The lowest reductions in turbidity were achieved at Chikwawa (7.50 ± 0.01%), Mangochi (12.97 ± 0.02%) and Mulanje (25.00 ± 0.02). The best and optimum pH ranges for polymeric and inorganic coagulants were 7.20–7.80 and 7.35 to 7.57 respectively. The results further revealed that sudfloc 3850 and algaefloc 19s achieved faster formation of heavy flocs than alum. At 0.4 mg L⁻¹ flocculant dosage sudfloc 3850 and algaefloc 19s required ten times lower dosages than alum. Therefore, the polymeric coagulants could be used instead of alum, the choice dependant on the type of water.  相似文献

碳、硫在表层储库和地质储库以不同的形式相互转换,在这个过程中都伴随着一定的同位素分馏。碳同位素的分馏主要受到光合作用以及海水溶解无机碳与大气CO2交换的控制,而硫同位素的分馏则主要受控于硫酸盐细菌还原作用。表层储库碳、硫同位素的组成通过地质作用被很好地保存在地质储库中,因此通过对地质储库中碳、硫同位素的分析和研究,可以很好地了解地球各圈层相互作用的规律,重塑地质历史特别是重大关键转折时期的演化过程。同时文中借助一些碳、硫同位素应用实例,进一步加深理解影响碳、硫同位素组成和变化的原因,以提高对不同时期全球环境变化的认知程度。  相似文献

席斌斌  余晓露  王杰  蒋宏  张隽 《地质学报》2017,91(9):2091-2104

川东北元坝气田是中国南方大型油气田之一,通过对元坝224井上二叠统储层溶洞石英及白云石中包裹体的岩相学、激光拉曼以及显微测温分析发现,溶洞石英中包裹体类型复杂,主要由气液两相包裹体、气体包裹体以及含子矿物包裹体组成,包裹体的气相组分主要由CH4、H2S以及CO2组成,包裹体的子矿物为单质硫以及沥青,包裹体共生组合关系复杂,不同类型包裹体常叠加在一起,气液两相包裹体均一温度以及含单质硫三相包裹体的气液均一温度范围相似,分别为161.5~220.6℃以及168.2~218.6℃,二者的盐度分布范围差别较大,分别为7.45%~10.36%NaCl以及8.68%~21.11%NaCl;溶洞白云石中包裹体类型单一,由气液两相包裹体组成,个别包裹体的气相中含有CH4,包裹体的均一温度为102.4~132.1℃。包裹体的古温度古压力分析表明,溶洞石英中包裹体捕获于中—晚侏罗世,包裹体捕获时地层流体为超压,捕获于原油大量裂解生成天然气阶段。溶洞石英中不同类型包裹体的组合关系以及温压特征记录了储层中TSR反应的过程,即硫酸盐先与重烃反应生成H2S以及单质硫,然后硫酸盐以及生成的单质S再与CH4继续反应生成H2S以及CO2,随着TSR反应的进行,储层中的压力逐渐增大。TSR反应生成的H2S以及CO2流体可能与储层发生了较强烈的水-岩反应,造成了储层的硅化以及溶洞中石英、白云石的沉淀。  相似文献

Sodium sulphate weathering and the disintegration of Mohenjo-Daro,Pakistan     

A. S. Goudie 《地球表面变化过程与地形》1977,2(1):75-86

In Pakistan various brick building structures are currently disintegrating in the Indus Valley. These include the Harappan site of Mohenjo-Daro. The environment of this site is described, the nature and speed of the disintegration problem is outlined, and the cause of disintegration is discussed Weathering occurs in association with the development of salt efflorescences and some bricks disintegrate only a few years after being laid down. Chemical and X-ray diffraction analyses show that the predominant salt is the sodium sulphate mineral thenardite. The reasons for its effectiveness are discussed. They include its high solubility, the rapid change of solubility with temperature, and its hydration characteristics.  相似文献

Aqueous Phase Reaction of HNO4: The Impact on Tropospheric Chemistry     

Frank Dentener  Jason Williams  Swen Metzger 《Journal of Atmospheric Chemistry》2002,41(2):109-133

We use a global atmospheric chemistry transport model to study the possible influence of aqueous phase reactions of peroxynitric acid (HNO₄) on the concentrations and budgets of NO_x, SO_x, O₃ and H₂O₂. Laboratory studies have shown that the aqueous reaction of HNO_4aq withHSO^– _3aq, and the uni-molecular decomposition of the NO₄ ^– anion to form NO₂ ^– (nitrite) occur on a time scale of about a second. Despite a substantial contribution of the reaction of HSO^– _3aq with HNO_4aq to the overall in-cloud conversion of SO₂ to SO₄ ^2–, a simultaneous decrease of other oxidants (most notably H₂O₂) more than compensated the increase in SO₄ ^2– production. The strongest influence of heterogeneous HNO₄ chemistry was found in the boundary layer, where calculated monthly average ozone concentrations were reduced between 2% to 10% andchanges of H₂O₂ between –20% to +10%compared to a simulation which ignores this reaction. Furthermore, SO₂ was increased by 10% to 20% and SO₄ ^2–depleted by up to 10%. Since the resolution of our global model does not enable a detailed comparison with measurements in polluted regions, it is not possible to verify whether considering heterogeneous HNO₄ reactions results in a substantial improvement of atmospheric chemistry transport models. However, the conversion of HNO₄ in the aqueous phase seems to be efficient enough to warrant further laboratory investigations and more detailed model studies on this topic.  相似文献
